the_o tail_n of_o your_o rod_n may_v be_v towards_o the_o water_n if_o you_o stick_v they_o by_o any_o river_n side_n and_o the_o head_n of_o your_o rod_n scoop_v from_o the_o river_n that_o the_o foul_a may_v come_v with_o the_o rod_n for_o there_o be_v no_o foul_a that_o will_v come_v against_o the_o rod_n nor_o be_v not_o able_a almost_o if_o they_o will_v but_o be_v your_o rod_n turn_v from_o the_o river_n they_o will_v be_v the_o bold_a to_o go_v onward_o and_o then_o they_o can_v no_o way_n escape_v and_o so_o likewise_o set_v your_o rod_n about_o the_o whole_a plat_n that_o you_o set_v with_o their_o tail_n outward_a and_o their_o head_n stoop_v inward_a for_o the_o foul_a will_v be_v the_o bold_a to_o go_v among_o your_o rod_n if_o they_o chance_v to_o light_v beside_o they_o but_o you_o must_v give_v good_a attendance_n upon_o your_o rod_n lest_o that_o the_o foul_a which_o be_v tangle_v do_v pick_v themselves_o and_o get_v away_o again_o but_o you_o must_v lie_v very_o close_o lest_o that_o the_o foul_a do_v chance_n to_o spy_v you_o but_o if_o it_o be_v somewhat_o darkish_a that_o you_o can_v espy_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o foul_a light_v among_o your_o rod_n then_o go_v to_o your_o rod_n and_o give_v ashue_v and_o if_o that_o there_o be_v any_o they_o will_v flutter_v straight_o and_o fly_v upward_o and_o if_o that_o there_o be_v none_o then_o take_v your_o staff_n and_o beat_v the_o river_n and_o lake_n within_o half_a a_o mile_n compass_v once_o or_o twice_o if_o you_o be_v able_a to_o compass_v it_o or_o more_o and_o then_o shall_v you_o have_v they_o resort_v to_o you_o limerods_n very_a thick_a for_o he_o that_o mind_v to_o catch_v any_o must_v so_o travel_v that_o he_o leave_v no_o lake_n or_o spring_n unsearched_a and_o see_v that_o your_o limerods_n be_v set_v some_o what_o low_o round_o about_o at_o the_o very_o enter_v for_o that_o be_v good_a for_o all_o manner_n of_o foul_a but_o if_o that_o they_o be_v set_v high_a within_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o the_o foul_a do_v shut_v her_o wing_n before_o she_o be_v altogether_o at_o the_o ground_n and_o see_v that_o you_o do_v set_v your_o rod_n within_o one_o another_o about_o three_o quarter_n or_o half_a a_o yard_n asunder_o almost_o and_o if_o it_o freeze_v hard_a you_o must_v trim_v they_o with_o a_o little_a new_a lime_n and_o goose_n grease_n mingle_v together_o and_o that_o will_v keep_v they_o long_o from_o freeze_a and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o special_a place_n which_o fowl_n do_v resort_n to_o as_o in_o deep_a water_n and_o run_a river_n and_o that_o the_o river_n be_v deep_a that_o you_o can_v set_v your_o rod_n in_o then_o take_v a_o pole_n or_o a_o cord_n and_o a_o long_a hay_n rope_n that_o will_v wind_v round_o about_o the_o length_n of_o the_o pole_n then_o take_v your_o limerods_n and_o stick_v they_o very_o thick_a and_o loose_a withal_o and_o then_o lie_v your_o pole_n or_o pole_n over_o the_o river_n and_o thrust_v the_o end_n of_o your_o pole_n within_o the_o bank_n and_o tie_v the_o other_o end_n of_o you_o pole_n next_o to_o you_o to_o the_o bank_n side_n and_o see_v that_o your_o pole_n be_v a_o pretty_a way_n within_o the_o water_n and_o that_o the_o head_n of_o your_o rod_n do_v stand_v close_o to_o the_o water_n and_o thus_o may_v you_o set_v as_o many_o pole_n or_o cord_n as_o you_o think_v the_o place_n do_v desire_v and_o stick_v your_o rod_n very_o loose_o that_o they_o may_v go_v with_o the_o foul_a as_o soon_o as_o they_o touch_v they_o good_a spaniel_n a_o treasure_n to_o foul_a sure_a be_v to_o help_v he_o sometime_o else_o oft_o shall_v he_o miss_v for_o water_n and_o land_n it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n a_o spaniel_n to_o have_v his_o game_n for_o to_o bring_v also_o there_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o way_n to_o catch_v in_o the_o water_n with_o small_a cord_n be_v tie_v overthwart_o the_o water_n and_o lime_n they_o as_o you_o do_v your_o limerods_n with_o good_a water_n lime_n as_o we_o call_v it_o though_o indeed_o it_o be_v but_o bird-lime_n but_o it_o be_v temper_v to_o hold_v within_o the_o water_n which_o if_o you_o let_v the_o cord_n be_v but_o a_o little_a within_o the_o water_n that_o it_o may_v scarce_o cover_v it_o and_o if_o the_o water_n be_v broad_a then_o take_v a_o cork_n or_o two_o and_o tie_v they_o to_o your_o line_n to_o hold_v it_o up_o this_o be_v a_o pretty_a way_n and_o not_o to_o be_v suspect_v how_o to_o make_v bird-lime_n very_o pure_a first_o peel_v the_o bark_n from_o the_o holly_n tree_n about_o midsummer_n then_o boil_v the_o same_o bark_n till_o the_o utter_a rind_n will_v pill_v from_o the_o green_a bark_n which_o will_v be_v within_o one_o day_n then_o lay_v the_o same_o inner_a bark_n so_o peel_v in_o some_o close_a place_n on_o the_o ground_n and_o cover_v the_o same_o with_o some_o green_a weed_n or_o docke_n till_o it_o be_v well_o rot_v which_o will_v be_v within_o nine_o day_n or_o thereabouts_o then_o either_o beat_v it_o in_o mortar_n or_o grind_v it_o very_o small_a and_o then_o in_o some_o quick_a stream_n wash_v it_o very_o clean_a then_o put_v it_o in_o a_o pot_n of_o earth_n and_o it_o will_v spurge_v within_o three_o day_n then_o take_v of_o the_o scum_n twice_o or_o thrice_o for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o filth_n leave_v in_o it_o it_o will_v rot_v the_o lime_n after_o this_o keep_v the_o lime_n very_o close_o till_o you_o have_v need_v to_o occupy_v it_o mingle_v a_o little_a hog_n grease_n with_o it_o and_o so_o many_o you_o work_v your_o rod_n with_o it_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v mention_v of_o the_o poet_n the_o wosell_n or_o robin_n be_v a_o great_a cherisher_n of_o the_o holly_n tree_n as_o terence_n say_v turdus_n cacat_fw-la sibi_fw-la malum_fw-la he_o

as_o little_a as_o you_o think_v good_a or_o fetchis_n or_o wheat_n and_o be_v strew_v where_o wild_a goose_n or_o wild_a duck_n come_v and_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o eat_v of_o this_o they_o will_v

way_n they_o will_v be_v so_o giddy_a that_o you_o may_v take_v they_o with_o your_o hand_n a_o excellent_a good_a way_n to_o make_v a_o bait_n to_o catch_v wild_a goose_n or_o wild_a duck_n and_o all_o other_o sort_n of_o foul_a take_v the_o seed_n of_o belenge_n and_o the_o root_n also_o and_o steep_v they_o in_o water_n the_o space_n of_o a_o day_n and_o a_o night_n then_o see_v the_o say_a
