day_n as_o will_v pasture_v ten_o beast_n in_o ten_o day_n which_o be_v a_o great_a loss_n among_o poor_a man_n that_o have_v the_o most_o feed_n for_o their_o cattle_n on_o the_o commons_o to_o have_v so_o much_o pasture_n ground_n destroy_v wherefore_o the_o common_a say_n be_v the_o hog_n be_v never_o good_a but_o when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o dish_n proverb_n therefore_o i_o think_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v here_o unméete_a to_o speak_v something_o more_o of_o the_o ring_n of_o they_o wherein_o some_o man_n do_v use_v to_o peg_v they_o with_o peg_n of_o holly_n or_o such_o like_a hard_a wood_n and_o horn_n but_o this_o kind_n of_o peg_v will_v not_o long_o endure_v for_o they_o will_v soon_o wear_v or_o break_v asunder_o and_o some_o do_v ring_v they_o with_o red_a wire_n because_o they_o will_v not_o stand_v to_o any_o further_a cost_n and_o that_o be_v also_o soon_o wear_v asunder_o for_o red_a wire_n be_v too_o soft_a other_o do_v put_v ring_n of_o iron_n some_o with_o horse_n nail_n or_o strong_a white_a wire_n in_o the_o groin_n of_o their_o snout_n and_o those_o be_v count_v much_o better_a to_o endure_v and_o yet_o for_o all_o those_o ring_n they_o will_v break_v the_o ground_n if_o it_o be_v any_o whit_n soft_a therefore_o it_o grieve_v they_o small_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v and_o some_o other_o do_v slit_v their_o groin_n under_o but_o when_o that_o be_v grow_v whole_a again_o they_o will_v also_o dig_v notwithstanding_o for_o all_o these_o way_n do_v small_o prevail_v if_o they_o be_v not_o look_v to_o from_o day_n to_o day_n to_o cut_v the_o gristle_n asunder_o be_v better_o some_o do_v use_v in_o the_o spring_n to_o ring_v and_o also_o yoke_v their_o hog_n at_o such_o time_n as_o when_o they_o may_v feed_v or_o have_v bit_n of_o grass_n and_o so_o let_v they_o remain_v all_o the_o summer_n for_o tear_v of_o hedge_n which_o be_v think_v not_o unméete_a for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o corn_n some_o other_o do_v use_n to_o ring_v they_o at_o michaelmas_n and_o so_o let_v they_o remain_v if_o it_o be_v a_o year_n of_o mast_n unto_o november_n or_o december_n or_o kill_a time_n but_o they_o do_v fear_n hang_v in_o hedge_n they_o do_v

kill_a time_n so_o that_o all_o the_o summer_n long_o you_o shall_v see_v no_o meadow_n ground_n break_v or_o dig_v with_o hog_n except_o some_o ring_v break_v or_o wear_v asunder_o you_o may_v there_o go_v a_o hundred_o mile_n compass_v ere_o you_o shall_v see_v so_o much_o ground_n dig_v &_o turn_v up_o with_o hog_n as_o you_o shall_v do_v here_o in_o one_o common_a or_o parish_n &_o yet_o their_o hog_n be_v as_o fat_a &_o as_o fair_a as_o we_o and_o they_o have_v no_o other_o feed_v but_o grass_n root_n &_o herb_n in_o the_o fallow_a field_n and_o i_o be_v there_o teach_v how_o to_o ring_v a_o hog_n that_o ring_n he_o shall_v light_o never_o dig_v or_o break_v any_o meadow_n ground_n though_o it_o be_v light_a and_o soft_a which_o be_v you_o shall_v take_v a_o good_a big_a white_a wire_n &_o stiff_o withal_o be_v two_o or_o three_o inch_n long_o or_o more_o according_a to_o the_o bigness_n of_o the_o hog_n snout_n and_o make_v it_o sharp_a at_o both_o end_n &_o bow_v it_o staple_n wise_a with_o two_o corner_n nigh_o a_o inch_n wide_a then_o make_v two_o hole_n through_o his_o snout_n of_o the_o same_o wideness_n and_o put_v it_o up_o through_o the_o gristle_n of_o his_o snout_n hard_o unto_o the_o bent_n of_o the_o staple_n then_o with_o a_o pair_n of_o plyer_n bow_n and_o turn_v the_o point_n of_o the_o wire_n into_o the_o hole_n of_o his_o nostril_n like_o a_o ramine_n horn_n so_o that_o when_o soever_o he_o do_v offer_v to_o dig_v or_o turn_v up_o any_o thing_n the_o sharp_a end_n of_o the_o wire_n in_o turn_v will_v prick_v he_o always_o in_o the_o tender_a hole_n of_o his_o nostril_n and_o so_o they_o shall_v never_o dig_v but_o still_o gaze_v on_o the_o ground_n continual_o from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o shall_v never_o offer_v to_o dig_v in_o any_o kind_n of_o ground_n but_o seek_v still_o to_o gaze_v and_o yet_o to_o be_v at_o all_o time_n as_o fair_a as_o we_o here_o in_o england_n with_o now_o and_o then_o give_v they_o some_o

pasture_v ground_n always_o whole_a unspoyld_v or_o turn_v up_o and_o your_o hog_n to_o be_v in_o as_o good_a like_n with_o a_o little_a more_o pain_n and_o charge_n as_o the_o other_o unringde_v this_o kind_n of_o ring_a hog_n shall_v be_v set_v in_o figure_n here_o under_o for_o the_o more_o perfect_a and_o further_a knowledge_n thereof_o and_o this_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o

of_o his_o snout_n a_o ninche_n from_o the_o groin_n and_o when_o he_o will_v dig_v the_o groin_n of_o his_o nose_n will_v fall_v down_o the_o figure_n of_o ring_v like_o the_o ram_n horn_n here_o follow_v a_o very_a good_a way_n how_o to_o feed_v a_o hog_n for_o lord_n first_o you_o shall_v provide_v two_o plank_n or_o thick_a board_n for_o he_o lord_n to_o lie_v on_o or_o else_o to_o lie_v on_o pave_v stone_n or_o pavement_n and_o you_o shall_v feed_v he_o with_o barley_n and_o pease_n and_o no_o bean_n and_o give_v he_o no_o other_o water_n but_o the_o tapping_n and_o wash_n of_o hog_n head_n and_o sometime_o you_o shall_v change_v his_o meat_n and_o give_v he_o sod_a barley_n and_o so_o change_v his_o meat_n often_o and_o when_o you_o see_v he_o begin_v to_o glut_v which_o will_v be_v within_o ten_o day_n then_o to_o change_v his_o diet_n give_v he_o a_o handful_n of_o crab_n and_o use_v he_o so_o once_o in_o ten_o day_n but_o if_o you_o think_v it_o will_v be_v a_o loss_n or_o spoil_n of_o meat_n to_o give_v he_o much_o you_o may_v give_v it_o he_o in_o a_o small_a vessel_n and_o a_o little_a at_o once_o if_o you_o can_v make_v he_o drink_v now_o &_o then_o that_o will_v make_v he_o to_o be_v a_o notable_a fat_a hog_n within_o three_o month_n feed_n but_o after_o one_o month_n some_o do_v feed_v he_o with_o pease_n or_o dough_n make_v of_o barley_n meal_n and_o feed_v he_o therewith_o the_o space_n of_o five_o or_o six_o week_n and_o nothing_o else_o without_o any_o drink_n or_o other_o moisture_n which_o be_v count_v the_o chief_a way_n of_o feed_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o feed_n of_o he_o how_o to_o kill_v he_o be_v thus_o you_o shall_v stick_v he_o and_o scald_v he_o as_o you_o do_v another_o hog_n and_o then_o cut_v off_o his_o head_n and_o his_o foot_n and_o open_v he_o in_o the_o back_n in_o make_v a_o narrow_a chine_n then_o open_v he_o and_o take_v forth_o his_o inward_o and_o then_o with_o a_o cloth_n dry_a away_o clean_a all_o his_o

it_o that_o no_o air_n enter_v and_o in_o nine_o day_n after_o you_o may_v not_o touch_v or_o open_v it_o then_o cut_v all_o the_o rest_n in_o piece_n as_o you_o shall_v think_v best_a and_o salt_n they_o in_o a_o barrel_n with_o fair_a and_o dry_a white_a salt_n then_o when_o you_o shall_v need_v to_o take_v forth_o any_o piece_n to_o occupy_v or_o sell_v put_v not_o the_o rest_n you_o take_v forth_o into_o the_o barrel_n again_o for_o that_o will_v fester_v and_o hurt_v the_o rest_n therefore_o take_v forth_o no_o more_o than_o you_o occupy_v and_o that_o piece_n you_o take_v forth_o to_o
