eed them with that
they most delight in; as for instance, in short:

The _Red-Worm_, must be kept in a bag of Red Cloth, with a handful of
chopt _Fennel_, mixt with half so much fresh, black and fertile Mould,
will scoure and preserve them: All other Worms, with the Leaves of Trees
they are bred on, renewing them often in a day. Only the _Cad-bait_,
_Bob_ and _Canker_, &c. must be kept in the same things you find them.

The great _White Maggots_, keep them in Sheeps-Tallow, or little bits of
a beasts Liver; and to scoure them, hang them warm in a bag of
Blanketing with Sand.

The _Frogs and Grasshoppers_, in wet Moss and long Grass, frequently
moistned; and when used, the Legs of the first, and the Wings of the
other must be cut close off.

The _Flies_ use them as you take them. Only the _Wasps_, _Hornets_ and
_Humble-Bee_, must be dryed in an Oven, their heads dipt in Sheeps
blood, and dryed again, may be kept in a Box for use.

And now thus equipt let us walk to the Rivers side, there give me leave
to direct you in the _Measures_ you must take and observe, for the
obtaining the End of what all our forementioned Preparations aime at;
I mean the Catching those sundry kinds of Fish I enumerated at the
begining of this Discourse; and observing that first method, I shall
Alphabetically describe, what Baits are most Proper for taking them, and
How to use them.

To begin then with the _Barbel_. The best time for Angling for this Fish
