dung_v take_v heed_n of_o steep_v pease_n too_o long_o for_o i_o have_v see_v they_o sprout_v in_o three_o or_o four_o hour_n 23_o be_v the_o sow_v of_o course_n and_o cheap_a grain_n and_o when_o

which_o when_o the_o cattle_n have_v eat_v a_o little_a of_o the_o top_n they_o turn_v they_o in_o with_o very_o good_a improvement_n for_o their_o ground_n meadow_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o we_o have_v good_a husband_n who_o dung_n and_o marl_n their_o meadow_n and_o pasture-land_n and_o throw_v down_o all_o mole_n and_o ant-hil_n and_o with_o the_o their_o spud-staffe_n cut_v

yet_o there_o be_v many_o who_o be_v negligent_a in_o these_o particular_n for_o the_o which_o they_o be_v blame-worthy_a but_o the_o deficiency_n of_o which_o i_o intend_v to_o speak_v of_o be_v these_o follow_v cato_n one_o of_o the_o wise_a of_o the_o roman_n sai_z that_o pratum_fw-la est_fw-la quasi_fw-la paratum_fw-la always_o ready_a and_o prepare_v and_o prefer_v meadow_n before_o the_o olive-garden_n although_o the_o spaniard_n bequeath_v olive-tree_n to_o their_o child_n as_o we_o do_v cottage_n or_o vine_n or_o corn_n because_o meadow_n bring_v in_o a_o certain_a profit_n

read_v mr._n blithe_n book_n of_o husbandry_n late_o print_v 3_o that_o when_o we_o lie_v down_o land_n for_o meadow_n or_o pasture_n we_o do_v not_o sow_v they_o with_o the_o seed_n of_o fine_a

which_o be_v well_o do_v till_o the_o next_o year_n that_o it_o may_v make_v a_o turf_n and_o grow_v strong_a by_o this_o husbandry_n land_n may_v be_v well_o improve_v especial_o if_o man_n do_v

sometime_o sow_v with_o corn_n a_o year_n or_o two_o and_o then_o it_o rest_v as_o long_o or_o long_o when_o it_o be_v lay_v down_o it_o maintain_v many_o great_a sheep_n and_o very_o lusty_a so_o that_o they_o be_v even_o fit_a for_o the_o butcher_n and_o yet_o there_o do_v scarce_o appear_v any_o thing_n that_o they_o can_v eat_v which_o have_v cause_v divers_a to_o wonder_v as_o if_o they_o have_v live_v on_o chalke-stone_n but_o i_o more_o serious_o consider_v the_o matter_n thorough_o view_v the_o ground_n and_o perceive_v that_o the_o ground_n natural_o produce_v a_o small_a trefoil_n which_o it_o seem_v be_v very_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a it_o be_v common_o call_v trifolium_fw-la luteum_fw-la or_o lupilinum_n that_o be_v yellow_a or_o hop-trefoile_n and_o i_o be_o persuade_v if_o that_o the_o seed_n of_o this_o trefoil_n be_v preserve_v and_o sow_v with_o date_n when_o they_o intend_v to_o lay_v it_o down_o it_o will_v very_o much_o advance_v the_o pasture_n of_o that_o

scarce_o any_o thing_n else_o will_v grow_v i_o must_v again_o and_o again_o desire_v all_o man_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o wonderful_a grass_n which_o grow_v near_o salisbury_n and_o desire_v
