wormwood_n yarrow_n there_o be_v many_o plant_n herb_n and_o seed_n bring_v out_o of_o other_o kingdom_n which_o be_v not_o here_o name_v because_o it_o be_v well_o know_v to_o such_o as_o be_v

we_o shall_v now_o give_v a_o account_n of_o the_o land_n plot_v out_o and_o allow_v for_o the_o scite_fw-la of_o the_o house_n and_o be_v as_o follow_v the_o cherry_n and_o flower_n garden_n be_v

therefore_o if_o the_o ground_n be_v over_o moist_a than_o the_o hill_n must_v be_v make_v big_a and_o high_a than_o ordinary_a about_o 2_o foot_n high_a and_o of_o

the_o earth_n and_o the_o soil_n perfect_o well_o together_o he_o shall_v seldom_o find_v profit_n from_o his_o seed_n now_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o unfruitfulness_n of_o barren_a clayes_n be_v from_o their_o cold_a and_o bind_a nature_n whereby_o they_o stifle_v and_o choke_v any_o thing_n that_o grow_v within_o they_o and_o will_v not_o give_v they_o liberty_n to_o sprout_v or_o if_o it_o do_v yet_o the_o cold_a present_o starve_v the_o root_n and_o make_v the_o stem_n utter_o unable_a to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n the_o mixture_n of_o the_o sand_n take_v away_o the_o toughness_n and_o open_v the_o pore_n of_o the_o earth_n or_o clay_n the_o lime_n and_o salt_n bring_v heat_n the_o dung_n comfort_n and_o liberty_n so_o likewise_o all_o barren_a sand_n be_v loose_a and_o light_n therefore_o their_o unfruitfulness_n arise_v from_o these_o two_o cause_n first_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o porishness_n or_o hollowness_n and_o much_o rain_n or_o wet_a weather_n wash_v quite_o away_o or_o down_o into_o the_o earth_n deep_a than_o the_o root_n of_o the_o corn_n and_o grass_n all_o the_o goodness_n heat_n and_o fatness_n which_o shall_v nourish_v that_o which_o grow_v therein_o and_o although_o such_o land_n be_v well_o soil_v with_o dung_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o last_v above_o one_o crop_n of_o corn_n or_o two_o at_o the_o most_o second_o what_o the_o rain_n leave_v the_o sun_n by_o his_o heat_n draw_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o earth_n from_o the_o root_n of_o corn_n and_o grass_n now_o marle_n be_v not_o only_o a_o enemy_n to_o all_o weed_n but_o give_v a_o general_a virtue_n to_o all_o corn_n and_o grass_n and_o by_o its_o glutinous_a substance_n be_v incorporate_v with_o the_o sand_n close_v the_o hollow_n and_o porousness_n thereof_o so_o that_o what_o ever_o soil_n or_o manure_v be_v lay_v thereon_o it_o will_v last_v many_o year_n and_o abundant_o increase_v that_o which_o be_v plant_v set_v or_o sow_v therein_o and_o if_o the_o say_v marle_n be_v lay_v on_o meadow_n or_o pasture_n the_o land_n will_v be_v much_o enrich_v and_o may_v so_o continue_v some_o hundred_o year_n and_o as_o the_o the_o marl_n likewise_o the_o clay_n lome_n or_o fuller_n earth_n will_v work_v the_o like_a effect_n on_o arable_a land_n yet_o not_o to_o so_o good_a purpose_n as_o the_o marl_n now_o although_o dung_n be_v most_o proper_a for_o pasture_n land_n yet_o marle_n be_v of_o special_a use_n and_o much_o differ_v from_o dung_n in_o one_o particular_a for_o dung_n spend_v itself_o upward_o and_o although_o it_o lie_v deep_a within_o the_o earth_n yet_o the_o virtue_n will_v ascend_v and_o if_o it_o lie_v upon_o the_o ground_n in_o summer_n it_o will_v grow_v light_a and_o spongy_a whereby_o the_o goodness_n be_v draw_v forth_o or_o consume_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o marle_n to_o work_v downwards_o into_o the_o earth_n and_o it_o be_v dissolve_v only_o by_o frost_n therefore_o the_o best_a season_n to_o lay_v it_o on_o the_o land_n be_v about_o michaelmas_n that_o so_o the_o winter_n follow_v may_v break_v and_o melt_v all_o the_o stone_n or_o cloat_n and_o be_v thus_o break_v the_o rain_n will_v help_v to_o wash_v the_o same_o into_o the_o earth_n now_o although_o natural_o sandy_a earth_n be_v hot_a yet_o these_o barren_a sand_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o poverty_n be_v very_o cold_a therefore_o lime_n and_o salt_n be_v of_o great_a use_n and_o to_o good_a purpose_n lay_v on_o they_o and_o mix_v together_o wherefore_o you_o must_v not_o forget_v to_o

we_o stock_n our_o dove_n house_n with_o these_o kind_n of_o pigeon_n be_v first_o because_o they_o have_v a_o great_a and_o more_o plum_n round_a body_n than_o our_o english_a dove-house_n pigeon_n second_o they_o be_v strong_a and_o quick_a of_o flight_n therefore_o will_v get_v their_o food_n if_o to_o be_v have_v in_o england_n three_o they_o be_v more_o shy_a and_o subtle_a and_o will_v

in_o bedfordshire_n cambridgeshire_n northamptonshire_n and_o many_o other_o country_n where_o be_v the_o great_a flight_n of_o pigeon_n there_o they_o have_v the_o great_a crop_n of_o corn_n second_o pigeon_n do_v not_o feed_v on_o corn_n cover_v except_o part_v of_o it_o be_v visible_a and_o though_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o most_o husbandman_n for_o want_n of_o better_a judgement_n that_o corn_n lie_v on_o the_o ground_n will_v take_v root_n grow_v and_o thrive_v as_o that_o under_o ground_n which_o if_o so_o then_o why_o do_v most_o corn_n country_n except_v clay_n marle_n or_o other_o stiff_a ground_n sow_v their_o seed_n under_o furrow_n or_o before_o the_o blow_n cover_v the_o seed_n by_o the_o blow_n as_o aforesaid_a it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o prevent_v vermin_n from_o devour_v and_o carry_v the_o corn_n away_o which_o be_v very_o good_a husbandry_n but_o also_o they_o have_v experience_n that_o if_o the_o seed●ly_a above_o ground_n and_o not_o well_o cover_v although_o it_o may_v grow_v to_o blade_n stem_n and_o ear_n yet_o shall_v not_o kernel_n or_o produce_v seed_n for_o in_o great_a drought_n the_o sun_n will_v not_o only_o scorch_v the_o seed_n stem_n and_o all_o above_o ground_n but_o also_o draw_v up_o the_o moistness_n of_o the_o earth_n deep_o than_o such_o root_n can_v extend_v themselves_o because_o the_o seed_n lie_v above_o or_o very_o shallow_a under_o the_o earth_n be_v subject_a to_o all_o weather_n much_o rain_n will_v be_v hurtful_a by_o wash_v the_o fatness_n and_o good_a of_o the_o earth_n deep_o into_o the_o ground_n than_o the_o root_n will_v reach_v unto_o and_o now_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o foresay_a accident_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o seed_n be_v so_o much_o weaken_v that_o it_o can_v prosper_v as_o the_o other_o seed_n the_o great_a enemy_n to_o new_a sow_v corn_n be_v field_n rat_n and_o mouse_n and_o rook_n for_o they_o will_v not_o only_o devour_v and_o carry_v away_o all_o above_o ground_n in_o sight_n but_o scrape_v and_o dig_v after_o that_o which_o be_v cover_v and_o when_o the_o corn_n appear_v in_o blade_n than_o both_o rook_n stare_v lark_n and_o such_o like_a will_v follow_v the_o blade_n to_o the_o root_n and_o so_o stock_n up_o and_o spoil_v many_o acre_n therefore_o when_o these_o vermin_n be_v destroy_v we_o shall_v likewise_o destroy_v our_o pigeon_n if_o before_o that_o time_n the_o judgement_n of_o their_o enemy_n be_v not_o convince_v and_o whereas_o rook_n crow_n and_o pigeon_n may_v do_v much_o hurt_v when_o corn_n be_v ripe_a at_o or_o before_o harvest_n yet_o the_o charge_n of_o one_o man_n with_o a_o gun_n charge_v only_o with_o powder_n may_v keep_v a_o thousand_o acre_n until_o out_o of_o danger_n i_o shall_v add_v one_o thing_n more_o in_o the_o
