BRome groweth alwaye vpon drie and sandy grounde / and it wyll beare good rye and otes but it wyll nat endure to beare corne longe / without it be donged with the carte or with the shepe folde / or bothe. And if ye let it lye ley & plowe it nat / ye brome wyll come agayn. and shepe is the best catell to holde it vnder / but neuerthelesse it wyll growe. Whan it is growen of a yarde of heyght or more / than it is good
to bake and brewe with / and specially whan a house is thacked / to take the brome and make it ī quarters of a yarde long / or there about / and to pricke them in to the thacke by and by / and couer the thacke clene o∣uer / and it shall bothe kepe out weate and also saue it from pullynge downe with crowes / pyes / dawes / or choughes: And if ye wolde distroy it whan it is gro¦wen thre or four fote of height / than about saynt Ia∣mes day fell it a fote aboue therthe or more / and than the stalke wyll dye for a good season / but yf it be plo∣wed agayne / it wyll growe as faste as euer it dyde / whan he leaueth plowyng.
