judgement_n yet_o some_o alteration_n may_v be_v but_o not_o according_a to_o man_n expectation_n for_o sow_v a_o turnip_n in_o a_o sandy_a ground_n which_o be_v that_o which_o his_o nature_n

in_o may_n and_o likewise_o in_o august_n the_o same_o manner_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o now_o observe_v those_o that_o be_v sow_v in_o april_n ought_v to_o be_v water_v in_o the_o dry_a weather_n and_o in_o the_o first_o full_a moon_n of_o august_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v replant_v to_o a_o better_a earth_n in_o some_o border_n by_o a_o wall-side_n where_o they_o may_v be_v shelter_v from_o the_o

take_v they_o up_o with_o a_o set_a stick_n which_o be_v the_o fit_a instrument_n for_o that_o purpose_n so_o do_v prune_v they_o which_o be_v to_o cut_v off_o all_o the_o superfluous_a gross_a top_n blade_n slip_v off_o some_o of_o the_o under_o blade_n then_o go_v to_o your_o place_n as_o before_z mention_v and_o by_o a_o direct_a line_n set_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o six_o inch_n

pot_n or_o any_o other_o proper_a place_n where_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o desire_n or_o shall_v stand_v for_o the_o beauty_n of_o your_o garden_n these_o plant_n be_v set_v in_o a_o better_a mould_n than_o before_o and_o diligent_o water_v will_v come_v to_o flower_n by_o the_o next_o july_n follow_v thus_o much_o of_o the_o seedling_n sow_v in_o august_n now_o for_o those_o that_o be_v sow_v

set_v in_o a_o decent_a manner_n and_o i_o shall_v spare_v the_o ink_n and_o paper_n to_o set_v it_o down_o but_o see_v as_o hyssop_n be_v do_v so_o be_v this_o the_o last_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o
