6. _edderynge_] wood; see the glossary. So, in l. 7, I. R.
translates _eddered_ by _bounde_; and again in l. 16, he alters
_edderinges_ to _byndings_.
9. _trouse_] brouse (as above); see 38. 3.
=127.= 4. _the more halue_] more the_n_ halfe. But _the more
halfe_, i.e. the greater part, is right enough, and the older
phrase. In l. 23, it is left unaltered.
8. _in processe_] vnwares.
15. _slaue_] stand (clearly not the right word). In l. 32, I. R.
has the spelling _sleaue_. So also in sect. 133, I. 6.
=128.= 21. I. R. omits _and bolneth_; in l. 29, he alters _bolne_
to _rise_.
=129.= 10. _to leuse_] so looseneth.
11. _gete_] got. But _gete_ is the old form of the pp.; A.S.
_geten_.
=130.= 4. _casses_] Kasses. I. R. omits _or wydes_.
5. _slauynges_] sleanings (_sic_). The form _popeler_ reminds me
that I have heard the large poplar-tree at ‘Hyde-park Corner’ in
Cambridge called ‘the _popular_ tree.’ See l. 23.
12, 16. _osyerde wethy_] Asiere Withy.
=131.= 7. _kydde_] kid or faggot.
9, 16. _brenne_] burne.
14. _to peruse them_] persist.
=132.= 4. I. R. omits ‘and also the yues.’
5. _bowe_] hewe. But _bowe_ refers to the bending of it before it
is cut; the bent piece is called the _byghte_ in the next line. I.
R. alters _byghte_ to _bough_.
18. _brede_] breadth (which is the later form).
21. _xvi._] one and twenty (by misreading _xvi._ as _xxi._).
=133.= 1. _gyse_] vse of men.
6. _slaue_] sleaue; and in l. 16.
10. _hym_] the seller.
11. _an_] one (which is the meaning intended).
14. _ouer_] vpper.
=134.= 7. _garches_] garthes. In ed. 1534, it is plainly _garches_;
but confusion between _c_ and _t_ is extremely common, as they were
_written_ nearly alike.
18. _a greatte_] by great. The two phrases have different senses;
_a greate_ means ‘in the lump,’ without cutting or dressing the
trees, as appears from the next line. But _by great_ means ‘by
wholesale’; which contradicts l. 1.
=136.= 6. _graffe_] graft (throughout; which is the later form).
10. I. R. omits _the narower kyrfe, and_; to avoid the word _kyrfe_.
=137.= 10. _pyrre-stocke_] Peare-tree stocke.
14. I. R. says--a Crab-tree stocke is good, but the Apple-tree
stocke it-selfe is much better.
=138.= 1. _lanses_] branches.
10. _nothynge_] any thing.
26. _marley_] marle.
29. _cleauynge_] place clouen.
30. _for chynynge of the claye_] for feare the clay through drines
should cleaue or riue.
33. _clayenge_] cleauing (which is clearly wrong).
36. I. R. adds--And three grafts are enough for any stock
whatsoeuer, and sooner they will couer the head then foure, fiue,
or sixe.
=139.= 6. _tenaunte_] tennant.
9. _ponch_] punch.
10. _stop_] scope. _one syde_] other side.
19. _clyppe_] slip.
20. After _growe_, I. R. adds--and to fence it close about with
some thick-set hedge.
