=22.= 10. _at-after none_] in the after-noone. But _at-after_ is an old form, signifying much the same as _after_. See Glossary. 12. _beytynge_] resting. At the end of the section, I. R. adds--“For this stirring foure horses are sufficient.” =23.= 8. _wyddrynge_] withering (the later form). 11. _chowe_] chewe. 16. _swathe_] swaithe. 17. _mane_] man (!). The sense is, I suppose, a ridge of grass, which is likened to a horse’s mane. 20. _moldywarpe-hilles_] Mole-hills. _styckes_] sticks and stones. In the Book on Surveying, c. 25, we are told that the best way to spread _mouldy-warpe hilles_] is by bush-harrowing. =24.= 3. _beyked_] keyked (which I suspect to be nonsense). In line 12, _beykyng_ is altered to _baking_. 15. _hasell and withee_] Hassell or Withy. 19. _and let his warke_] wherby he shall hinder his worke. 21. _and_] if (a gloss of an obsolescent conjunction). So again in sect 25, 1. 16. =25.= 7. _ouer_] vpper. See the Glossary. 22. _crofote_] Crow-foote. 27. After _wyll_, I. R. inserts “as they say.” 32. _twon_] twined (the weak form). =26.= 5. I. R. alters this so as to give a different sense--“when it is mowne, it will be so fast bound that no man can gather it so cleane but there wil be great losse.” This is contradictory, and probably he missed the word _not_. =27.= 17. I. R. omits the phrase--“about Zelcestre and Martok.” =28.= 13. _And whan the barley_, &c.] and when the Barley is lead away, the Land must be raked with a great Rake with yron teeth, made fast about a mans necke with a string, and so drawne vp and downe the Lande, or els much Barley wil be lost. If Barley or Oates be layd through winde or ill weather, then it must needes be shorne, els not. The binding of barley in sheaues is very profitable, yet many that haue great crops will not attend so great trouble, but as soone as it is mowne make it in cocks like hay, and so carry it home: yet must they haue good respect vnto it, for if it bee full of weede and greeues (_sic_, _for_ greenes), then must it lye till they be withered, or els it will burne in the mow. =29.= 2. _sickles_] steeles. After _staffe-hokes_, I. R. adds--“and some mow downe with Sythes.” 4. _on repes_] in reaps. 11. _codde_] codds. This is a better reading. =30.= 7. _to pervse_] peruse. This early use of _peruse_ in the sense of go through, lit. use up thoroughly, should be noted. It occurs again in the Book of Surveying, capp. 19, 24; see note to 33. 7. 18. As to the fall of the tenth part of the angels, see my notes to P. Plowman. 21. After _truely_, I. R. adds--“but how eyther of the sayings hold with vnconscionable impropriations, adiudge the learned, let me imagine.” =31.= 3. _halfe-throne_] halfe-theame (_sic_). =32.= 5. _reke_] Reeke, stack, or houell. 6. _scaffolde_] houell; and in 11. 9, 11. 7. _hedged for_] hedged or paled from. 11. _shepe or catel_] Sheep, Cattel, Horse, Carts, Wains, or Ploughs. =33.= 3. _meane_] reasonable. 4. _ebbe_] shallow.
