     summary: ●or to give you a tast herein , i● Lands were improved for Hay and Root● , as the Brabant Husbandry doth cheifly insinu●te , that which at p●esent is wa●t , and of little value , would yeild both Roots for mans nourishment , and Hay for fodder for Cattel● by which a double benefit would arise : For as much as Wax formally differs from all fatnesse in the World , so then the dew , which being collected from any Floures , will scarce yeild a twentieth part of Caput mortuum , being by the Bees suckt and d●gested into Honey , then ( if distilled ) will yeild neer a third part in a Coal , and the liquor that di●tils will be part coloured , with an exquisite sharp taste , and a faetor of Empyreum , which in the other is not so to be found .

     summary: But whereas Bon●●ill is of opinion that a hundred double or trebble Bottomes which two or three Wormes have spunne and made up in common , will produce so many Wormes as Bottom● : I demand his pardon if I accede rather to the judgement of De Serres : for from every double or triple Bottome there come● forth but one Butterflye , though it hath more within : the Reason is , it being not probable that they should be all ripe together , that which is most mature by perforation of the Balls , exposes the other to the assault of the aire , which giving them cold , they dye imperfect . To reco●cile this ( the election of the time being i● our power ) the Mulberries seated in leane grou●ds , are ●ost properly disheaded in the new Moone : those whic● are pl●nted in ●ich ground , in the last quarter ; so will those in the leane soyle emit shoots as long as the barrenn●ss● of the place will afford them : and those of the fa●●er , th●ough the benefit of thei● seat , co●veniently ●●gaine that which they would not easi●y have done , cu● in the inc●●ase● Fo● those aspi●ing branches , we●e they not r●st●ai●●d by the counte● shoots who participate with them in nou●●●hme●t would by reason of thei● unweldy length , be fo●ced to b●nd downew●●ds to the deforming of the tree f●om the shape of a Muiberry into that of a Palme-tree , which is not to bee feared in the rest , by reason of the leanenesse of the ground , forbidding all abundance of shooting : Wee have provided for the feeding of this little and great Artificer , let us now expresse an equall care in his lodging .
