faithful_a and_o good_a servant_n and_o such_o master_n who_o it_o please_v god_n to_o bless_v with_o a_o good_a servant_n let_v he_o be_v account_v as_o a_o precious_a jewel_n and_o use_v with_o due_a respect_n pay_v he_o his_o wage_n true_o and_o leave_v he_o not_o a_o poor_a man_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n the_o great_a master_n his_o commandment_n by_o the_o wise_a solomon_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o his_o proverbe_n as_o touch_v the_o instrument_n to_o be_v employ_v about_o set_v of_o corn_n although_o i_o may_v leave_v every_o man_n to_o his_o own_o invention_n or_o refer_v they_o to_o master_n plait_n book_n who_o instruction_n in_o many_o thing_n i_o do_v commend_v yet_o because_o it_o may_v be_v that_o all_o man_n have_v not_o that_o book_n and_o desire_v some_o instruction_n therefore_o i_o will_v recite_v a_o example_n of_o he_o which_o he_o best_a commend_v which_o be_v a_o board_n of_o three_o foot_n in_o length_n or_o thereabouts_o and_o twelve_o or_o ten_o inch_n in_o breadth_n have_v diverse_a hole_n bore_v therein_o according_a to_o such_o distance_n as_o every_o particular_a man_n do_v best_a fancy_n through_o each_o of_o which_o hole_n a_o wooden_a dipper_n or_o pin_n to_o be_v thrust_v into_o the_o ground_n be_v of_o the_o bigness_n of_o one_o finger_n and_o of_o three_o or_o four_o inch_n in_o length_n have_v a_o shoulder_n or_o crosse-pin_n to_o keep_v oneself_o same_o certainty_n in_o the_o depth_n of_o each_o hole_n now_o my_o invention_n be_v to_o have_v two_o board_n of_o some_o two_o foot_n broad_a every_o where_n and_o in_o the_o middle_a a_o staff_n or_o handle_v set_v fast_o to_o remove_v they_o or_o if_o any_o do_v like_o better_a to_o have_v they_o one_o foot_n broad_a and_o two_o or_o three_o foot_n long_o and_o in_o every_o of_o those_o board_n one_o or_o two_o staff_n or_o handle_n of_o some_o two_o foot_n high_a set_v fast_o to_o remove_v they_o and_o also_o to_o leave_v upon_o for_o their_o worship_n ease_n but_o for_o this_o matter_n of_o make_v of_o hole_n i_o must_v say_v with_o you_o master_n scholar_n i_o profess_v to_o press_v this_o argument_n no_o further_o be_v no_o part_n of_o my_o profession_n but_o leave_v it_o to_o they_o that_o shall_v use_v and_o practice_v this_o invention_n only_o this_o i_o do_v advice_n that_o every_o man_n do_v well_o consider_v the_o quality_n of_o his_o own_o ground_n if_o it_o be_v exceed_v rank_n four_o or_o five_o inch_n distance_n but_o most_o common_o three_o or_o four_o inch_n be_v likely_a to_o be_v most_o fit_a and_o two_o or_o three_o inch_n deep_a as_o the_o ground_n be_v heavy_a or_o light_a and_o peradventure_o the_o clod_n may_v sometime_o hinder_v for_o which_o purpose_n this_o board_n and_o this_o handle_n or_o two_o be_v very_o fit_a to_o thrust_v down_o the_o clod_n these_o board_n be_v to_o be_v direct_v by_o a_o line_n to_o keep_v a_o straight_a course_n in_o set_v have_v always_o a_o rake_n with_o thick_a tooth_n and_o a_o broad_a head_n which_o at_o one_o pull_n will_v sufficient_o fill_v all_o the_o hole_n and_o for_o example_n to_o such_o as_o be_v very_o simple_a it_o be_v think_v good_a to_o set_v down_o the_o order_n of_o make_v of_o the_o hole_n in_o every_o board_n as_o the_o same_o hole_n shall_v be_v of_o distance_n more_o or_o less_o as_o if_o your_o board_n be_v ten_o inch_n broad_a and_o three_o foot_n long_o and_o your_o hole_n five_o inch_n distance_n there_o must_v be_v two_o row_n of_o hole_n and_o feven_a hole_n in_o a_o row_n and_o at_o every_o end_n and_o fide_fw-la there_o must_v be_v two_o inch_n and_o more_o leave_v and_o for_o every_o scantling_n or_o distance_n whether_o it_o be_v three_o four_o or_o five_o inch_n leave_v always_o the_o outside_n and_o the_o end_n half_o the_o distance_n or_o less_o in_o every_o board_n and_o so_o it_o will_v make_v a_o true_a continuance_n of_o one_o scantling_n throughout_o all_o the_o work_n but_o if_o this_o labour_n by_o writing_n and_o print_v be_v lose_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o plough_v and_o set_v and_o that_o man_n shall_v continue_v so_o wilful_o blind_a to_o despise_v god_n blessing_n upon_o themselves_o their_o poor_a neighbour_n and_o the_o whole_a commonwealth_n yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o where_o man_n be_v so_o obstinate_o addict_v to_o old_a custom_n they_o will_v yet_o follow_v the_o old_a proverb_n which_o say_v a_o little_a land_n well_o till_v a_o little_a house_n well_o fill_v and_o a_o little_a wife_n well_o wild_a no_o doubt_n but_o his_o little_a land_n will_v be_v as_o profitable_a for_o his_o purse_n as_o his_o little_a good_a wife_n comfortable_a to_o his_o mind_n thus_o i_o draw_v to_o a_o end_n desire_v the_o reader_n to_o take_v some_o view_n of_o such_o great_a benefit_n as_o this_o action_n of_o plough_v and_o set_v may_v by_o god_n mercy_n bring_v to_o this_o our_o country_n and_o i_o leave_v the_o success_n to_o god_n good_a blessing_n and_o

that_o now_o can_v have_v no_o work_n for_o their_o live_n four_o i_o say_v this_o these_o poor_a people_n that_o indeed_o aught_o to_o be_v keep_v from_o a_o starve_a kind_n of_o life_n in_o so_o

to_o devour_v from_o the_o poor_a people_n six_o it_o spare_v two_o part_n of_o the_o land_n that_o be_v of_o thirty_o acre_n twenty_o may_v be_v spare_v to_o lie_v and_o rest_n to_o gather_v hart_n for_o a_o while_n and_o after_o when_o it_o be_v plough_v again_o it_o will_v bring_v forth_o increase_v of_o corn_n abundant_o as_o all_o i_o know_v seventh_o it_o will_v increase_v great_a store_n

heart_n with_o their_o poor_a cattle_n and_o themselves_o i_o shall_v not_o only_o think_v my_o labour_n happy_o bestow_v in_o writing_n but_o all_o the_o poor_a people_n may_v thank_v god_n as_o

speedy_a be_v to_o put_v the_o corn_n into_o a_o tub_n of_o water_n and_o so_o the_o most_o heavy_a corn_n will_v soon_o sink_v to_o the_o bottom_n and_o the_o light_a with_o other_o seed_n which_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v sow_v you_o may_v take_v present_o away_o for_o else_o in_o a_o small_a time_n the_o light_a will_n also_o sink_v by_o take_v water_n to_o make_v it_o heavy_a also_o but_o you_o must_v do_v this_o but_o a_o little_a before_o you_o intend_v to_o sow_v it_o and_o in_o do_v whereof_o you_o may_v help_v your_o seed_n corn_n very_o much_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o dung_v as_o i_o myself_o have_v do_v my_o seed_n barley_n when_o the_o year_n have_v prove_v dry_a at_o barley_n seed_n time_n i_o have_v cause_v certain_a wot_v fat_n or_o tub_n use_v for_o malt_v to_o be_v fill_v

the_o better_o with_o often_o stir_v it_o then_o have_v i_o let_v or_o pour_v out_o the_o same_o water_n from_o the_o dung_n and_o put_v it_o into_o other_o clean_a vessel_n and_o then_o i_o put_v

and_o true_o that_o barley_n have_v shoot_v a_o ear_n as_o soon_o as_o other_o that_o be_v sow_v some_o fourteen_o day_n before_o it_o whereof_o in_o my_o opinion_n one_o great_a commodity_n do_v follow_v in_o that_o the_o corn_n special_o barley_n at_o that_o time_n of_o the_o year_n come_v away_o so_o speedy_o that_o it_o out_o grow_v all_o the_o weed_n who_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o
