13. I. R. adds--“Pease are an excellent seede, and inrich ground as much as the light manuring: which is the reason, that in many places of Lincoln-shiere, and els where, sowing their inam Wheate where theyr Pease grew, they haue the finest Corne.”
13. _kedlokes_] Kellocks (_but elsewhere_ Kedlocks).
41. I. R. adds--“because the freshnes of the molde is to the seede very comfortable.”
=11.= 11. _wonders_] wonderous (which is the later form). The whole of this section is re-written, merely to alter the language. Fitzherbert speaks again of ‘the seed of discretion’ in the Book of Surveying, c. 39.
=12.= 8. _strykes in other places_] two Northerne strikes. And as the measure Northward is greater, so are their Akers larger.
13. _quarter_] quarter, or halfe a seame.
31. _Christmasse_] Christmas, as for the most part Northward, or generally vpon fat clay grounds.
18. _sprot-barleye_] sport-Barley. So also in l. 19.
28. _lyke pecke-whete_] like to an eare of Wheate.
40. I. R. adds--“but how so euer the season of the yeare is, that Barley naturally of it selfe is a withered, deepe, yellow Corne, that yeldeth much bran, & but litle flower. Barley for the most part chiefly in clay grounds would be sown vnder furrow, that is, a cast or two about the Land, then ploughed, then sowne agayne, and so harrowed.”
=14.= 15. I. R. adds--“These are for the most barranest Heath or forrest ground that may be, as in Darbishiere, where they call them Skeyggs, and not Oates.”
*** After section =14=, I. R. introduces section =34=, to bring all the kinds of sowing together.
=15.= This is section =17= in the edition of 1598.
7. _moche_] bigge (which is a gloss). So also in l. 24.
8. _shotes_] flores. But this can hardly be right. See below.
11. _slote_] slope. But this can hardly be right. It is clear that the right word is _slote_, with the sense of ‘cross-bar,’ the _bulls_ being the thicker bars of the harrow.
24. _sloted and tinded_] floted and tyned.
27. _about Ryppon_] in Notinghamshire and more Northward.
28. _bulder-stones_] bolder-stones. Also spelt _bulder-stones_ in the Book on Surveying, c. 40.
41. _hombers_] humbers. _withed_] writhed.
50. _after a shoure_, &c.] with great roles of wood, which _Virgill_ much commends, and doubtless is very good after a shower of raine, to make the ground euen to mow. And note that the dryer your Lands be when you clot them, the sooner wil your clots break, and the more mold you shall haue.
