6. _reane_] raine of balke. =33.= 7. So also in the Book of Surveying, c. 24. “And if it so be, than take thy ploughe, and begyn to plowe a forowe in the myddes of the syde of the land, and cast it downe as yf thou shulde falowe it, and so pervse both sydes tyl the rygge be cast down, and than take thy plough agayn, and begyn to plowe where thou dyddest plowe fyrste, and rygge all the remeynant upwarde, and so shalt thou bothe cast thy landes, and rigge them, and all at one plowyng. And this wyl make the lande to lye rounde, the whyche is good bothe for corne and grasse.” =34.= This is Chapter 15 in I. R.’s edition. After _rye_ (l. 2), I. R. adds--“chiefely, if your ground be rich, clayie, and cold, but if it be dry and hote, then may you stay the latter season, as till the latter end of October.” 6. After _falowe_, I. R. adds--“and plow it vnder without harrowing.” 8. After _yere_, I. R. adds--“as in other places euery third yeere, for the one haue four fieldes, the other three.” 23. _whyte wheate_] Oygrane Wheate. So in l. 31 below, he has “Oygrane or white Wheate.” 25. _anis_] anns; so also in l. 29, and again in ll. 33, 36, 40, 42; we should rather have expected the spelling _auns_. 33. _and wyll make white breed_] it yeeldeth the finest flower of all. These three sorts of Wheat must euer bee sowne eyther on the Pease stubble, or on a fallow ground that is not very proud or rich, for too rich ground for these Wheats wil make them mildewe and not prosper. 35. After _whyte wheate_, I. R. adds--“but they are deceaued.” 38. _rudeste_] ruddiest. This is clearly the right sense. 43. _flyntered_] flintred. At the end of the section I. R. adds a long piece, as follows. Lastly, there is another Wheat, which is called hole-straw Wheat; it hath the largest eare of al Wheats, the boldest Corne, and yeeldeth the most, the finest, though not the whitest floure; it is foure-square, and hath short anns; the straw is not hollow, but hath a strong pith throughout, by reason wherof in his growth no weather whatsoeuer can beare him downe, but still he will stand and prosper; his straw yeeldeth as good thatch as Reeds, a singular profit for a Husbandman: and it is an excellent fewell to bake or brew with, euen as good as Gorsse or Whins: Onely Cattell will not eate it, nor is it good for litter; this of all Wheats is the best: these last named are to be sowne on the fallow ground, and the better the ground is, the better they will prosper. When you sowe your Rye choose a dry season, for small wet killeth Rye. Rie, as the old husbands say, will drowne in the Hopper, that is, if in the Hopper hee catch a shower, his vigor is slaine. Wherfore the drier his mold, is the better, which is the cause that the hote, dry, and light sand is onely for Rye most excellent: his mold must harrow small like a Garden-bed, for the smallest clot hindereth his comming vp; his sprout is so small and tender. Here I. R. inserts a whole chapter, as follows. Chapter 16.
