Remove Bees in January and to carry them many Miles wrap a Cloath about them and turn them upside down on Straw in a Cart. 12. To try to make them swarm lay stinking weeds under them that they lie not out but above the door and the Sun shine not on them but at the door if this do not make them swarm rare them two Inches and they often swarm in two or three days after do this about the middle of June 13. In swarming time have a Hive ready drest to place at their settling and they often go in of themselves 14. If a swarm is going home again cover all your stocks with sheets and place a drest Hive for them 15. Set not a swarm too near the commen hiving place 16. One swarm being hived cover it if another is rising 17. If a swarm hangs on several boughs get them together quickly 18. If two swarms hangs near or together shake half into one Hive and cover it with a cloath and carry it a Pole off and when they have taken to the Hive cover it and hive the other part of the Bees 19. Two swarms together most commonly fight till one Queen Bee be killed 20. Take up the best and the worst 21. One good swarm is enough out of one stock in one year 22. Set each stock with their doors almost East and 3 foot asunder 23. If a swarm gets into a hollow Tree stop them up and bore a hole under them to let in the smoak of burnt Cow dung and open the other hole for them to flie out 24. If Robbers come shut the Bees up close at night and before to one Bee with Tin having holes in it and kill the Robbers in the morning but if crumbs of Wax come down smother them at night and take the Hony and set the Hive in its place again and place a piece of Whalebone long ways at the door that the Robbers can put by to get in but not out To know whether they be your Neighbours Bees take notice which way they pass at Sunset and after and you may know 25. Keep Grass smooth near the Bees 26. The Bees will choose to go in and out at the East side of their Hives if nothing be in their way 27. Let the Bee stools be but little wider than the Hive and rising in the middle then the rain will not beat under them which causeth vermine to breed let a board be nailed to the edge of the Stool about 10 Inches square slopewise for the Bees to settle and rest on when they come home laden 28. For Capes or covering for a Bee Hive take half a sheaf of Rye straw bind it in the middle with a string like unto a Faggot then turn the ends both ways like a Cake and set it on a Hive and cut it round on which lay a two penny earthen pan and heavy stones on the pan 29. A swarm this year is most likely to give a swarm the next year the older the stock is the lother they are to swarm for the most part after the second year of a swarms age set them double as before is taught 30. To make doors to set under the edge of each Bee Hive take a piece of Sallow or Willow of about one Inch square and 6 or 7 Inches long then cut away about 4 or 5 Inches in the middle at one side that Bees may easily pass under it but not a Mouse nor a House Snail then cut a natch long ways with a Saw for a shutter of the same Wood to slip too and fro that but one Bee can pass out all Winter or when robbing Bees come and to slip full open in May June and July 31. When you are minded to kill Bees make a great round Hole in the ground at the middle of August set a match of Brown paper upon a short stick of 2 Inches square dipt in Brimstone being well lighted set the Bees thereon and put the loose earth about the Hive knocking the Hive a little 32. The Bees being dead cut the finest of the Combs into a Sieve that stands over a pan and bruise them a little so let them stand two days the first Hony that you pour out of the Pan is the best the Combs in the Sieve you may either make Mead with washing them or get the Hony out by putting the Sieve into an Oven after the Bread is drawn and it will be pretty good Hony and for the worst of the Combs soak them in Water with them that come out of the Oven and brew it with some Malt and drink it in a little time

three pound of Hony is one quart 33. Melt the Wax in water and press it out strongly then melt it in fair water and skim it clean then cover it with cloaths till it is cold that the Wax Cake crack not Common-ground the Poors Right more than the Rich. IT is a sad age in which we live that rich earthly minded men should seek to keep the poor people always very poor The Cattle upon the thousands of Hills are mine saith the Lord which God intended for the poor as well as others even for a general good And besides the large Common-grounds in England the Rich keep from the Poor in a great measure which properly is their right or so much thereof to keep their Families from want but not to live in idleness for some Christian spirited people did in former ages give Land as common unto the Poor but we too often see how that Rich men by force take it from them That many Lords of Towns so called and other rich Commoners had rather hinder themselves in some things that they may lord it over the poor and hinder a general Improvement of Land than to benefit the poor by letting them enclose a small part of a Common to maintain their Families though the poor may have friends raised to give the value of it in Mony but are rather for having a Law to maintain them very poorly by collections whenas the Poor might improve Common-ground for a general good and pay taxes Such oppression on the poor is no fruit of a Christian Spirit which is to do unto the poor as they would be dealt with if they were in the poors condition The Nation being big enough to maintain ten times as many people I suppose as are now in it by a Christian Industry and the Laws put in execution against Drunkenness and other the abuses of good things the which is of the greatest concern that the Magistrats ought to look after And the Poor as well as others ought to learn the Apostle Paul's Lesson that is to be content in all conditions which Paul said he had learned Philip. 4.11 Then will none of the poor in a contentious angry Spirit strive to get in ground enclosed from the Common but rather patiently wait upon God until he shall be pleased to open the hearts of men in outward Power to grant them their Birth-right and to become sharers with them of the Earth that all may seek a General Good and not so much for a private Interest then will there be a Blessing upon all their Labours so as none covet to have more than is needful to spend it upon their Lusts and pleasures for which Sin the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth doth and will more and more send his Judgments upon the Inhabitants of the Earth except they speedily repent by yielding obedience to the Grace of God in their hearts which will not consent to one Sin Exod. 23.6 Prov. 22.22.23.16.29.14 Rob not the poor because he is poor neither oppress the afflicted in Judgment for the Lord will defend their cause and spoil the Soul of those that spoil them Thou shalt not overthrow the right of the poor in his sute A King that judgeth the poor in truth his Throne shall be established for ever There are multitudes of Examples to be given that shew the wonderful Mercy and Love of God to such as have been assistant to the Poor which hard hearted men take little notice of but for brevities sake I shall but mention one remarkable passage as I found it in Richard Burton's Historical Remarques p. 63. Printed for Nath. Crouch at the Bell in Exchange-Alley London In the Reign of K. Henry the Third was a great famine in England about the year 1245 whereby the Poor miserably perished for want of Bread The Authors of those times relate this story very credibly to shew how displeasing Unmercifulness and want of Charity is in the sight of God several poor People plucked the Ears of Corn while they were green in the Common fields meerly to keep themselves from starving at which the owners being much offended desired the Priest of the Parish to curse and excommunicate them all the next Sunday But one of the Company adjured the Priest in the name of God to exempt his Corn from the Sentence saying That it pleased him well that the poor being pinched with Famine had taken his Corn and so commended what was left to the blessing of God The Priest being compelled by the importunity of others had no sooner begun the Sentence but a sudden Tempest of Thunder Lightning Wind Hail and Rain interrupted him whereby all the Corn fields thereabout were laid waste and destroyed as if they had been trodden under Foot with Cart and Horses yea no kind of Fowl nor Beast would feed upon it But this honest tender hearted man found all his Corn and Ground though mingled among others altogether untouched and without the least harm Prov. 14.31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor Those may be said to rob the poor as throw down Cottages by taking the Commons from them making great Parks to keep Deer and other Cattle c. laying house to house and field to field that neither work nor place may be left for the poor Isa 5.8 And enclosing whole Parishes in England in these few years whereby the poor have been forced to remove and lose their right but many such Great men have come to want for so doing God having blasted their Estates and have felt God's Judgments for the same I shall forbear to name the Persons The same blasting hath also come upon many that have bought up corn in times of scarcity to withold it from the poor by great prices which is well known to many in this year 1681. as in ages past And do not they also rob the poor that take away the Gleanings of the Grain in the common fields from the poor whether it be by the Farmer or such others as are not really poor But some may say Who are the poor that thou writes of I Answer He or she that hath nothing but wearing Apparel and he that hath a Wife or a Wife and Children and works hard for 8 d. or 10 d. a day and hath not above 60 l. value in Land or Money Lev. 19.9 10. When ye reap the harvest of your Land saith the Lord ye shall not reap every corner of your field neither shalt thou gather the Gleanings of thy harvest But thou shalt leave them for the poor and Fatherless and Stranger I am the Lord your God Matth. 5.3 Blessed are the poor in Spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven saith our Saviour Christ Therefore whosoever first seeks the Kingdom of Heaven all other things shall be added Matth. 6.33 Psal 37.16 and 25.
