After this section I. R. inserts ‘Chapter 17. Howe to graft by
leafe, causing all manner of fruit to grow vpon one tree.’ His
method is to insert what we should now call a slip, with a stalk
and leaf growing from it.
=140.= 2. _scyences_] syens. In fact, _scyences_ (= scions-es) is a
double plural, and was probably a provincial term, like _nesteses_
or _nesses_ for _nests_. So also _fairies-es_ is a country name
for _fairies_, which some lexicographers, not understanding,
actually write and print as _Pharisees_!
6. _he wyll_] you will. This alteration is made wherever the phrase
occurs.
8. _lyke_] like or prosper in any wise.
*** Here I. R. inserts a large portion of his own (or perhaps
copied from other sources) without any hint that it is not in his
original. The insertion extends from p. 103 to p. 143, and contains
the following chapters.
Chapter 19. Of gardening or planting.
Chapter 20. Of distillation, what it is.
Chapter 21. Of Beanes and the distillation thereof.
Chapter 22. Of Cherries and their distillation.
Chapter 23. Of Walnuts and their distillation.
Chapter 24. Of small Nuts and their distillation.
Chapter 25. Of Honny and the distillation thereof.
Chapter 26. Of Apples and their distillation.
Chapter 27. Of Peaches and their distillation.
Chapter 28. Of Mallowes and their distillation.
Chapter 29. Of Grapes and their distillation.
Chapter 30. Of Quinces and their distillation.
Chapter 31. The distillation of Cardus [_sic_] benedictus, or the
blessed thistle.
Chapter 32. The distillation of Angellica.
Chapter 33. The distillation of Cammomile.
Chapter 34. The distillation of Germander.
Chapters 35-40. The distillation of Eyebright, Hopps, wood Lilly,
Balme, Strawberries, and Cinamon.
Chapter 41. Of Nutmegs and their vse.
Chapters 42-44. Of Mace, Pepper, and Cloues.
Chapter 45. An excellent Balme to take away any blemish vppon the
skinne.
Chapter 46. A receite to cure any wound or hurt.
Chapter 47. An approved receite for the gowte.
With this Chapter he closes ‘the third booke of Husbandry.’
The fourth book has an introductory chapter, not in Fitzherbert,
subdivided into sections with the following headings. The office of
a Steward of a houshold. For prouiding of victuals. The Steward and
Garniter.[43] The Steward and Miller. The Steward and Baker. The
Pantry. The Butler. The Seller.[44] The Ewrie.[45] Of the Cooke.
Of the Scullery. Of the Vsher of the Hall. Of the Yeoman of the
Wardrop [Wardrobe]. The Slaughter-man. The Cater [caterer]. The
Clarke of the Kitchin.
After this, I. R. condescends to return to his original.
=141.= 36. _sherde_] breach (which is a gloss).
49. _tyne_] shut (a gloss). _traile_] tale (probably a misprint).
59. _put it_] blot them.
72. _loked uppon_] attended vnto.
