by_o himself_o as_o yellow_a green_a brown_a tawny_a russet_a and_o the_o dusk_n colour_n and_o to_o make_v a_o good_a green_a take_v a_o quart_n of_o small_a ale_n and_o put_v it_o into_o a_o pan_n

then_o take_v a_o pottel_n of_o water_n and_o put_v it_o in_o a_o pan_n and_o put_v therein_o too_o hand_n full_a of_o mary_n gold_n or_o of_o wixen_n and_o then_o pressè_fw-la it_o with_o a_o tile_n

have_v it_o so_o deep_a colour_n as_o you_o desire_v to_o make_v a_o russet_a for_o to_o make_v your_o hair_n russet_a you_o shall_v take_v a_o pint_n of_o strong_a lie_n and_o half_o a_o pound_n of_o

which_o govern_v water_n that_o spare_v no_o time_n to_o kill_v nor_o care_n for_o no_o time_n to_o save_v but_o take_v at_o all_o time_n which_o make_v fresh_a fish_n so_o dear_a and_o so_o scant_o in_o river_n and_o runiung_a
river_n and_o run_v water_n be_v at_o more_o liberty_n than_o those_o which_o be_v close_v in_o pond_n and_o pit_n for_o those_o in_o run_v water_n the_o water_n bring_v to_o they_o always_o some_o what_o to_o feed_v on_o and_o there_o also_o the_o small_a fish_n do_v nourish_v the_o great_a but_o the_o fish_n enclose_v can_v get_v no_o such_o thing_n therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v good_a to_o

of_o the_o take_n of_o fish_n diverse_a way_n there_o be_v diverse_a manner_n of_o way_n in_o take_v fish_n in_o some_o place_n according_a to_o the_o country_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o great_a
