the_o worm_n have_v spin_v then_o aforehand_o you_o may_v kill_v the_o worm_n thus_o with_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n to_o this_o end_n then_o you_o must_v spread_v the_o silk_n bottom_n in_o the_o sun_n at_o noonday_n when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o great_a heat_n upon_o plank_n or_o such_o like_a for_o the_o space_n of_o one_o hour_n turn_v they_o often_o after_o that_o gather_v they_o all_o

case_n the_o sun_n shall_v be_v want_v in_o light_n and_o heat_n to_o kill_v the_o worm_n then_o after_o you_o have_v draw_v your_o bread_n from_o out_o the_o oven_n or_o else_o have_v heat_v it_o to_o the_o same_o measure_n and_o proportion_n of_o heat_n all_o the_o ember_n of_o the_o fire_n first_o take_v out_o you_o may_v put_v the_o bottom_n into_o the_o oven_n upon_o wooden_a board_n or_o

first_o time_n put_v they_o in_o again_o till_o they_o be_v dead_a after_o that_o you_o must_v keep_v the_o silk_n bottom_n in_o a_o place_n where_o they_o may_v not_o be_v press_v together_o too_o

you_o kill_v the_o worm_n the_o silk_n will_v prove_v much_o better_a and_o more_o easy_a to_o be_v spin_a there_o be_v another_o way_n and_o better_o to_o kill_v the_o worm_n within_o their_o

the_o worm_n within_o the_o bottom_n when_o the_o worm_n be_v dead_a take_v up_o the_o bottom_n and_o lay_v they_o in_o some_o room_n where_o there_o be_v air_n to_o draw_v out_o and_o dry_v their_o

one_o after_o another_o and_o open_v they_o very_o wide_o as_o they_o do_v wool_n when_o they_o spin_v it_o then_o must_v they_o put_v the_o silk_n upon_o the_o distatfe_n and_o spin_v it_o as_o
