in_o a_o hot_a evening_n when_o as_o you_o walk_v by_o a_o brook_n and_o shall_v see_v or_o hear_v he_o leap_v at_o fly_n than_o if_o you_o get_v a_o grasshopper_n put_v it_o on_o your_o hook_n with_o

you_o may_v if_o you_o stand_v close_o be_v sure_a of_o a_o bit_n but_o not_o sure_a to_o catch_v he_o for_o he_o be_v not_o a_o leather_n mouth_a fish_n and_o after_o this_o manner_n you_o may_v

by_o a_o leather_n mouth_a fish_n pisc._n by_o a_o leather_n mouth_a fish_n i_o mean_v such_o as_o have_v their_o tooth_n in_o their_o throat_n as_o the_o chubb_n or_o cheven_n and_o so_o the_o

you_o shall_v observe_v to_o be_v very_o full_a of_o bone_n and_o the_o skin_n very_o thin_a and_o little_a of_o it_o i_o say_v of_o these_o fish_n the_o hook_n nevertake_v so_o sure_o hold_v but_o you_o often_o lose_v the_o fish_n unless_o he_o have_v gorge_v it_o viat_n i_o thank_v you_o good_a master_n for_o this_o observation_n but_o now_o what_o shall_v be_v do_v with_o my_o chubb_n or_o

long_o to_o be_v go_v and_o learn_v your_o direction_n pisc._n you_o must_v dress_v it_o or_o see_v it_o dress_v thus_o when_o you_o have_v scale_v he_o wash_v he_o very_o clean_o cut_v off_o his_o

scotch_n with_o your_o knife_n broil_n he_o upon_o wood-cole_n or_o charcoal_n but_o as_o he_o be_v broil_v baste_v he_o often_o with_o butter_n that_o shall_v be_v choice_o good_a and_o put_v good_a store_n of_o salt_n into_o your_o butter_n or_o salt_v he_o gentle_o as_o you_o broil_n or_o baste_v he_o and_o bruise_v or_o cut_v very_o small_a into_o your_o butter_n a_o little_a time_n or_o some_o other_o sweet_a herb_n that_o be_v in_o the_o garden_n where_o you_o eat_v he_o thus_o use_v it_o take_v away_o the_o waterish_a taste_n which_o the_o chubb_n or_o chevin_n have_v and_o make_v he_o a_o choice_n dish_n of_o meat_n as_o you_o yourself_o know_v for_o thus_o be_v that_o dress_v which_o you_o do_v eat_v of_o to_o your_o dinner_n or_o you_o may_v for_o variety_n dress_v a_o chubb_n another_o way_n and_o you_o will_v find_v he_o very_o good_a and_o his_o tongue_n and_o head_n almost_o as_o good_a as_o a_o carp_n but_o than_o you_o must_v be_v sure_a that_o no_o grass_n or_o weed_n be_v leave_v in_o his_o mouth_n or_o throat_n thus_o you_o must_v dress_v he_o slit_v he_o through_o the_o middle_n then_o cut_v he_o into_o four_o piece_n then_o put_v he_o into_o a_o pewter_n dish_n and_o cover_v he_o with_o another_o put_v into_o he_o as_o much_o white_a wine_n as_o will_v cover_v he_o or_o spring_n water_n and_o vinegar_n and_o store_n of_o salt_n with_o some_o branch_n of_o time_n and_o other_o sweet_a herb_n let_v he_o then_o be_v boil_v gentle_o over_o a_o chafing-dish_n with_o wood_n coal_n and_o when_o he_o be_v almost_o boil_v enough_o put_v half_o of_o the_o liquor_n from_o he_o not_o the_o top_n of_o it_o put_v then_o into_o he_o a_o convenient_a quantity_n of_o the_o best_a butter_n you_o can_v get_v with_o a_o little_a nutmeg_n grate_v into_o it_o and_o sippet_n of_o white_a bread_n thus_o order_v you_o will_v find_v the_o chevin_fw-fr and_o the_o sauce_n too_o a_o choice_n dish_n of_o meat_n and_o i_o have_v be_v the_o more_o careful_a to_o give_v you_o a_o perfect_a direction_n how_o to_o dress_v he_o because_o he_o be_v a_o fish_n undervalue_v by_o many_o and_o i_o will_v glad_o restore_v he_o to_o some_o of_o his_o

the_o moist_a earth_n out_o of_o which_o you_o gather_v they_o and_o as_o much_o of_o the_o root_n of_o the_o grass_n of_o the_o say_a hillock_n and_o then_o put_v in_o the_o fly_v gentle_o that_o they_o lose_v not_o their_o wing_n and_o so_o many_o as_o be_v put_v into_o the_o glass_n without_o bruise_v will_v live_v there_o a_o month_n or_o more_o and_o be_v always_o in_o a_o readiness_n for_o you_o to_o fish_n with_o but_o if_o you_o will_v have_v they_o keep_v long_o then_o get_v any_o great_a earthen_a pot_n or_o barrel_n of_o three_o or_o four_o gallon_n which_o be_v better_o then_o wash_v your_o barrel_n with_o water_n and_o honey_n and_o have_v put_v into_o it_o a_o quantity_n of_o earth_n and_o grass_n root_n than_o put_v in_o your_o fly_n and_o cover_v it_o and_o they_o will_v live_v a_o quarter_n of_o a_o year_n these_o in_o any_o stream_n and_o clear_a water_n be_v a_o deadly_a bait_n for_o roch_n or_o dace_n or_o for_o a_o chubb_n and_o your_o rule_n be_v to_o fish_v not_o less_o than_o a_o handful_n from_o the_o bottom_n i_o shall_v next_o tell_v you_o a_o winter_n bait_n for_o a_o roch_n a_o dace_n or_o chubb_n and_o it_o be_v choice_o good_a about_o all-hollantide_n and_o so_o till_o frost_n come_v when_o you_o see_v man_n plough_v up_o heath-ground_n or_o sandy_a ground_n or_o greenswards_o then_o follow_v the_o plough_n and_o you_o shall_v

may_v keep_v they_o all_o winter_n and_o kill_v fish_n with_o they_o at_o any_o time_n and_o if_o you_o put_v some_o of_o they_o into_o a_o little_a earth_n and_o honey_n a_o day_n before_o you_o use_v they_o you_o will_v find_v they_o a_o excellent_a bait_n for_o bream_n or_o carp_n and_o after_o this_o manner_n you_o may_v also_o keep_v gentle_n all_o winter_n which_o be_v a_o good_a bait_n then_o and_o much_o the_o better_a for_o be_v lively_a and_o tough_a or_o you_o may_v breed_v and_o keep_v gentle_a thus_o take_v a_o piece_n of_o beast_n liver_n and_o with_o a_o cross_a stick_n hang_v it_o in_o some_o corner_n over_o a_o pot_n or_o barrel_n half_o full_a of_o dry_a clay_n and_o as_o the_o gentle_n grow_v big_a they_o will_v fall_v into_o the_o barrel_n and_o scour_v themselves_o and_o be_v always_o ready_a for_o use_v whensoever_o you_o incline_v to_o fish_v and_o these_o gentle_n may_v be_v thus_o make_v till_o after_o michaelmas_n but_o if_o you_o desire_v to_o keep_v gentle_n to_o fish_n with_o all_o the_o year_n then_o get_v a_o dead_a cat_n or_o a_o kite_n and_o let_v it_o be_v fly-blown_a and_o when_o the_o gentle_n begin_v to_o be_v alive_a and_o to_o stir_v then_o bury_v it_o and_o they_o in_o moist_a earth_n but_o as_o free_a from_o frost_n as_o you_o can_v and_o these_o you_o may_v dig_v up_o at_o any_o time_n when_o you_o intend_v to_o use_v they_o these_o will_v last_v till_o march_n and_o about_o that_o time_n turn_v to_o be_v fly_n but_o if_o you_o be_v nice_a to_o fowl_n your_o finger_n which_o good_a angler_n seldom_o be_v then_o take_v this_o bait_n get_v a_o handful_n of_o well_o make_a malt_n and_o put_v it_o into_o a_o dish_n of_o water_n and_o then_o wash_v and_o rub_v it_o betwixt_o your_o hand_n till_o you_o make_v in_o

you_o will_v find_v this_o to_o be_v a_o very_a choice_n bait_n either_o for_o winter_n or_o summer_n you_o sometime_o cast_v a_o little_a of_o it_o into_o the_o place_n where_o your_o float_n swim_v
