se I read in the History of the
_West-Indians_, that their trees are not troubled with the disease
called the worme or canker, which ariseth of a raw and euill concocted
humor or sap, Witnesse _Pliny_, by reason their Country is more hot then
ours, whereof I thinke the best remedy is (not disallowing the former,
considering that the worme may breed by such an humor) warme standing,
sound lopping and good dressing.

{SN: Barke pild.}
Bark-pild you shall find with his remedy in the 11. Chapter.

{SN: Wounds.}
Deadly wounds are when a mans Arborist wanting skill, cut off armes,
boughes or branches an inch, or (as I see sometimes) an handfull, or
halfe a foot or more from the body: These so cut cannot couer in any
time with sap, and therefore they die, and dying they perish the heart,
and so the tree becomes hollow, and with such a deadly wound cannot liue
long.

{SN: Remedy.}
The remedy is, if you find him before he be perished, cut him close, as
in the 11. Chapter: if he be hoald, cut him close, fill his wound, tho
neuer so deepe, with morter well tempered & so close at the top his
wound with a Seare-cloth doubled and nailed on, that no aire nor raine
approach his wound. If he be not very old, and detaining, he will
recouer, and the hole being closed, his wound within shall not hurt him
for many yeeres.

{SN: Hurts on trees.}
{SN: Ants, Earewigs, Caterpillars, and such like wormes.}
Hurts on your trees are chiefly Ants, Earewigs, and Caterpillars. Of
Ants and Earewigs is said Chap. 10. Let there be no swarme of Pismires
neere your tree-root, no not in your Orchard, turne them ouer in a
frost, and powre in water, and you kill them.

For Caterpillars, the vigilant Fruterer shall soone espy their lodging
by their web, or the decay of leaues eaten around about them. And being
seene, they are easily destroyed with your hand, or rather (if your tree
may spare it) take sprig and all: for the red peckled butterfly doth
euer put them, being her sparm, among the tender spraies for better
feeding, especially in drought, and tread them vnder your feet. I like
nothing of smoke among my trees. Vnnaturall heates are nothing good for
naturall trees. This for diseases of particular trees.

{SN: Externall euils.}
Externall hurts are either things naturall or artificiall. Naturall
things, externally hurting Orchards.
