[Unillustrated section]
In the precedent Chapters, viz. chap.3. numb.24. 25. I have given some small account of Husbandry, as much as concerns Hay Making, and Corn Reaping, with the Farmers Terms about the same; and in chap.5. numb. 70. I have given an account of things needful and necessary for a good Farm, and what Husbandmen cannot be well without: And now in this place I shall give you an account of the Rules of Good Husbandry, both for House keeping, and their Monthly Observations for the good Ordering and Manuring of their Lands and Estates without Doors. All which, as it is practice of Freeholders, Yeomen and Farmers, so it is not unworthy the Knowledge of the Gentry and Nobility of our Land, seeing the greatest of persons are maintained by the Field, and Kings have delighted in Husbandry Affairs, Eccles. 5. 9. 2. Chron. 26. 10.

| Shall soon run, and quickly come | } | To Beggary. |
