{SN: Galls.}
Galles, Canker, Mosse, weaknes, though they be diuers diseases: yet
(howsoeuer Authors thinke otherwise) they rise all out of the same
cause.

Galles we haue described with their cause and remedy, in the 11. Chapter
vnder the name of fretters.

{SN: Canker.}
Canker is the consumption of any part of the tree, barke and wood, which
also in the same place is deceiphered vnder the title of water-boughes.

{SN: Mosse.}
Mosse is sensibly seene and knowne of all, the cause is pointed out in
the same Chapter, in the discourse of timber-wood, and partly also the
remedy: but for Mosse adde this, that at any time in summer (the Spring
is best) When the cause is remoued, with an Harecloth, immediatly after
a showre of raine, rub off your Mosse, or with a peece of weed (if the
Mosse abound) formed like a great knife.

{SN: Weaknesse in setting.}
Weaknesse in the setting of your fruit shall you finde there also in the
same Chapter, and his remedy. All these flow from the want of roomth in
good soile, wrong planting, Chap. 7. and euill or no dressing.

{SN: Barke-bound.}
Bark-bound (as I thinke) riseth of the same cause, and the best, &
present remedy (the causes being taken away) is with your sharpe knife
in the Spring, length-way to launch his bark throughout, on 3. or 4.
sides of his boale.

{SN: Worme.}
{SN: Remedy.}
The disease called the Worme is thus discernd: The barke will be hoald
in diuers places like gall, the wood will die & dry, and you shall see
easily the barke swell. It is verily to be thought, that therin is bred
some worm I haue not yet thorowly sought it out, because I was neuer
troubled therewithall: but onely haue seene such trees in diuers
places. I thinke it a worme rather, because I see this disease in trees,
bringing fruit of sweet taste, and the swelling shewes as much. The
remedy (as I coniecture) is so soone as you perceiue the wound, the next
Spring cut it out barke and all, and apply Cowes pisse and vineger
presently, and so twice or thrice a weeke for a moneths space: For I
well perceiue, if you suffer it any time, it eates the tree or bough
round, and so kils.

Since I first wrote this Treatise, I haue changed my mind concerning the
disease called the worme, becau
