is made of thre peces of yren, nayled faste vnto the ryght [Sidenote: [Fol. 3.]] syde of the plough-beame. And poore men haue a 44 croked pece of wode pynned faste to the ploughbeame. [Sidenote: Share.] The share is a pece of yren, sharpe before and brode behynde, a fote longe, made with a socket to be set on [Sidenote: Coulter.] the ferther ende of the share-beame. The culture is a 48 bende pece of yren sette in a morteys in the myddes of the plough-beame, fastened with wedges on euery syde, and the backe therof is halfe an inche thycke and more, and three inches brode, and made kene before to cutte 52 the erthe clene, and it must be wel steeled, and that shall cause the easyer draughte, and the yrens to laste [Sidenote: Plough-mall.] moche lenger. The plough-mal[21] is a pece of harde woode, with a pynne put throughe, set in the plough-beame, 56 in an augurs bore. 4. ¶ The temprynge of plowes. [Sidenote: Tempering of ploughs.] Nowe the plowes be made of dyuers maners; it is necessarye for an housbande, to knowe howe these plowes shulde be tempered, to plowe and turne clene, and to [Sidenote: Rest-baulk.] make no reste-balkes. A reste-balke is where the plough 4 byteth at the poynte of the culture and share, and cutteth not the ground cleane to the forowe, that was plowed laste [Sidenote: [Fol. 3_b_.]] before, but leaueth a lyttell rydge standynge betwene, the whiche dothe brede thistyls, and other wedes. All 8 these maner of plowes shulde haue all lyke one maner of temperyng in the yrens. Howe-be-it a man maye temper for one thynge in two or thre places, as for depnes. The fote is one: the setting of the culture of 12 a depnes, is a-nother: and the thyrde is at the ploughe-tayle, [Sidenote: Slot wedges.] where be two wedges, that be called slote-wedges: the one is in the slote above the beame, the other in the saide slote, vnder the plough-beame; and other whyle 16 he wyll set bothe aboue, or bothe vndernethe, but alway let hym take good hede, and kepe one generall rule, that the hynder ende of the sharebeme alway touche the erthe, that it may kyll a worde,[22] or elles it goth not truly. The 20 [Sidenote: Narrow and broad tempering.] temperynge to go brode and narowe is in the settyng of the culture: and with the dryuinge of his syde-wedges, forewedge, and helewedge, whiche wolde be made of [Sidenote: Setting on of the share.] drye woode, and also the settynge on of his share helpeth 24 well, and is a connynge poynte of husbandry, and mendeth and payreth moch plowyng: but it is so narowe a point to know, that it is harde to make a man to vnderstande it by wrytynge, without he were at the operation 28 [Sidenote: [Fol. 4.]]
