See you here an whole Army of mischeifes banded in troupes against the
most fruitfull trees the earth beares? assailing your good labours. Good
things haue most enemies.

{SN: Remedy.}
A skilfull Fructerer must put so his helping hand, and disband and put
them to flight.

{SN: Deere, &c.}
For the first ranke of beasts, besides your out strong fence, you must
haue a faire and swift Greyhound, a stone-bow, gun, and if need require,

them in Winter-time.

{SN: Remedy.}
The best remedy here is a Stone bow, a Piece, especially if you haue a
Musket or Spar-hawke in Winter to make the Black bird stoope into a bush
or hedge.

to grow in mine Orchard but fruit and flowers. If sap can hardly be good
to feed our fruit-trees, why should we allow of any other, especially
those, that will becom their Masters, & wrong them in their liuelyhood.

{SN: Winds.}
{SN: Frosts.}
And although we admit without the fence of Wall-nuts in most plaine
places, Trees middle-most, and ashes or Okes, or Elmes vtmost, set in
comely rowes equally distant with faire Allies twixt row and row to
a
