present_o set_v it_o upon_o the_o stool_n and_o turn_v the_o corner_n of_o the_o sheet_n over_o the_o hive_n let_v he_o leave_v one_o place_n open_a that_o the_o bee_n may_v go_v in_o and_o out_o but_o let_v he_o do_v this_o quiet_o for_o he_o must_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a fight_n or_o strive_v with_o they_o and_o let_v he_o lay_v nettle_n on_o the_o bough_n where_o they_o be_v knit_v to_o

he_o take_v it_o away_o and_o set_v it_o where_o it_o shall_v stand_v and_o take_v away_o the_o sheet_n and_o let_v he_o have_v clay_n ready_a temper_v to_o lay_v about_o it_o upon_o the_o board_n or_o stone_n where_o it_o shall_v stand_v that_o no_o wind_n come_v in_o but_o the_o board_n be_v better_a and_o warm_a let_v he_o leave_v a_o hole_n open_a on_o the_o southside_n of_o three_o inch_n broad_a and_o a_o inch_n of_o height_n for_o the_o bee_n to_o enter_v in_o and_o out_o and_o then_o let_v he_o make_v a_o cover_n of_o wheat_n or_o rye-straw_n to_o cover_v and_o house_n the_o hive_n above_o and_o let_v he_o set_v the_o hive_n two_o foot_n or_o more_o above_o the_o earth_n upon_o the_o stake_n so_o that_o a_o mouse_n nor_o any_o other_o beast_n or_o vermin_n may_v come_v near_o it_o but_o if_o a_o swarm_n be_v cast_v late_o in_o the_o year_n they_o shall_v be_v feed_v with_o honey_n in_o the_o winter_n and_o lay_v upon_o a_o thin_a narrow_a board_n or_o slate_n or_o lead_v

which_o be_v great_a than_o another_o bee_n this_o drone_n will_v eat_v the_o honey_n and_o gather_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o they_o shall_v be_v kill_v it_o be_v a_o common_a say_n that_o she_o have_v lose_v her_o sting_n and_o that_o therefore_o she_o will_v not_o labour_v as_o the_o other_o do_v how_o to_o keep_v beast_n and_o other_o cattle_n if_o a_o husbandman_n will_v keep_v cattle_n well_o to_o his_o profit_n he_o must_v have_v several_a close_n and_o pasture_n to_o put_v they_o in_o the_o which_o shall_v be_v well_o quick-setted_n ditch_v or_o hedge_v that_o at_o his_o

farmer_n and_o shall_v have_v his_o farm_n twenty_o year_n it_o be_v less_o cost_n for_o he_o and_o more_o profit_n for_o he_o to_o quickset_n ditch_n or_o hedge_n then_o to_o have_v his_o cattle_n go_v before_o the_o herdsman_n for_o let_v the_o husbandman_n spend_v in_o three_o year_n as_o much_o money_n as_o the_o keep_n of_o his_o beast_n swine_n and_o sheep_n do_v cost_v he_o in_o the_o year_n then_o always_o after_o he_o shall_v have_v all_o manner_n of_o cattle_n with_o the_o ten_o part_n of_o the_o cost_n and_o the_o beast_n shall_v like_v much_o the_o better_a and_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o herdsman_n shall_v have_v for_o every_o beast_n two_o penny_n a_o quarter_n or_o thereabouts_o and_o the_o swineherd_n will_v have_v for_o every_o swine_n at_o least_o a_o penny_n then_o he_o must_v have_v a_o shepherd_n of_o his_o own_o or_o else_o he_o shall_v never_o thrive_v then_o reckon_v meat_n drink_v and_o wage_n for_o his_o shepherd_n the_o herdsmans_n and_o the_o swineherd_n hire_v these_o charge_n will_v double_v his_o rent_n or_o arise_v nigh_o to_o do_v so_o except_o his_o farm_n be_v above_o forty_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la now_o let_v we_o compute_v what_o these_o charge_n will_v come_v to_o in_o three_o year_n but_o let_v he_o lay_v out_o as_o much_o money_n in_o quick-setting_a ditch_v and_o hedge_v and_o in_o three_o year_n he_o shall_v be_v discharge_v for_o ever_o and_o much_o of_o his_o labour_n he_o and_o his_o servant_n may_v do_v with_o their_o own_o hand_n and_o save_v much_o money_n and_o then_o have_v he_o every_o field_n in_o severality_n and_o by_o the_o assent_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o tenant_n every_o neighbour_n may_v exchange_v his_o land_n with_o the_o other_o and_o then_o shall_v his_o farm_n be_v twice_o as_o good_a in_o profit_n to_o the_o tenant_n as_o it_o be_v before_o and_o as_o much_o land_n keep_v in_o tillage_n by_o this_o mean_v the_o rich_a man_n shall_v not_o overeat_a the_o poor_a man_n with_o his_o cattle_n and_o the_o four_o part_n of_o the_o hay_n and_o straw_n shall_v serve_v his_o cattle_n better_a in_o a_o pasture_n than_o four_o time_n so_o much_o will_v do_v in_o a_o house_n and_o less_o attendance_n and_o the_o cattle_n shall_v like_v the_o better_a to_o buy_v fat_a cattle_n if_o the_o grazier_n shall_v buy_v fat_a ox_n or_o kine_n let_v he_o handle_v they_o and_o see_v that_o they_o be_v soft_a on_o the_o fore-crop_n behind_o the_o shoulder_n and_o upon_o the_o hindermost_a rib_n and_o upon_o the_o hucklebone_n and_o the_o nache_n by_o the_o tail_n let_v he_o see_v that_o the_o ox_n have_v a_o great_a god_n and_o the_o cow_n a_o great_a navel_n for_o than_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a that_o they_o be_v well_o tallow_v and_o let_v he_o take_v heed_n where_o he_o buy_v any_o lean_a cattle_n or_o fat_a and_o of_o who_o and_o where_o it_o be_v breed_v for_o if_o he_o buy_v out_o of_o a_o better_a ground_n than_o he_o have_v of_o his_o own_o that_o cattle_n will_v not_o like_v with_o he_o also_o let_v he_o look_v that_o there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o sickness_n among_o the_o cattle_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o murrain_n or_o long-saught_a among_o they_o which_o may_v prove_v very_o dangerous_a for_o a_o beast_n may_v take_v a_o sickness_n ten_o or_o twelve_o day_n or_o more_o before_o it_o appear_v on_o they_o to_o buy_v lean_a cattle_n that_o husbandman_n that_o will_v thrive_v must_v be_v well_o furnish_v with_o cattle_n he_o must_v rear_v and_o breed_v some_o calf_n and_o foal_v or_o else_o he_o must_v be_v a_o buyer_n if_o he_o buy_v ox_n for_o the_o plough_n let_v he_o look_v that_o they_o be_v young_a and_o not_o goutty_n neither_o break_v of_o hair_n of_o tail_n or_o of_o pizzle_n if_o he_o buy_v kine_n for_o the_o pail_n let_v he_o see_v that_o they_o be_v young_a and_o likely_a to_o give_v good_a milk_n and_o let_v he_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o feed_v her_o calf_n well_o and_o if_o he_o buy_v lean_a ox_n let_v he_o feed_v and_o fat_v they_o the_o young_a they_o be_v the_o better_a they_o will_v feed_v and_o soon_o gain_v flesh_n but_o as_o we_o have_v say_v let_v he_o look_v well_o to_o the_o hair_n that_o it_o stare_v not_o and_o that_o the_o beast_n lick_v himself_o be_v whole_a mouth_v and_o want_v no_o tooth_n and_o though_o he_o have_v the_o gout_n and_o be_v break_v both_o of_o tail_n and_o pizzle_n yet_o will_v he_o feed_v but_o the_o goutty_a ox_n will_v not_o be_v drive_v far_o let_v he_o also_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o have_v a_o broad_a rib_n and_o a_o thick_a hide_n that_o he_o be_v loose-skinned_n that_o it_o stick_v not_o hard_a nor_o strait_a to_o his_o rib_n for_o than_o he_o will_v not_o feed_v to_o rear_v calf_n it_o be_v convenient_a for_o a_o husbandman_n to_o rear_v calf_n and_o especial_o those_o that_o come_v betwixt_o candlemas_n and_o may_n for_o at_o that_o season_n he_o may_v best_o spare_v milk_n and_o by_o that_o time_n the_o calf_n shall_v be_v wean_v there_o will_v be_v grass_n enough_o to_o put_v he_o into_o and_o at_o winter_n he_o will_v be_v big_a enough_o to_o save_v himself_o among_o other_o beast_n with_o a_o little_a favour_n the_o dam_n of_o the_o calf_n shall_v bull_n again_o and_o bring_v another_o by_o the_o same_o time_n of_o the_o year_n but_o if_o he_o shall_v tarry_v till_o after_o may_v the_o calf_n will_v be_v weak_a in_o
