Tractatio Lini.

Linum & Cannabis aquis macerata, rursum{que} ficcata, 1. contunduntur Frangibulo ligneo, 2. (ubi Cortices 3. decidunt) tùm carminantur Carmine ferreo, 4. ubi Stupa 5. separatur.

Linum purum alligatur Colo, 6. à Netrice, 7. quae sinistrâ trahit filum, 8. dexterâ 12. Rhombum (girgillum) 9 vel Fusum 10. (in quo Verticillus 11.) versat.

Fila accipit, Volva; 13. inde deducuntur in Alabrum; 14. hinc vel Glomi 15. glomerantur, vel Fasculi 16. fiunt.

The dressing of Line.

Page 121

Line and Hemp, being rated in water, and dried again, 1. are braked with a wooden Brake, 2. where the Shives 3. fall down, then they are heckled with an Iron Heckle, 4. where the Tow 5. is parted from it.

Flax is tied to a Distaff, 6. by the Spinster, 7. which with her left hand pulleth out the Thred, 8. and with her right hand turneth a wheel 9 or a Spindle 10. upon which is a Wharl 11.

The Spool receiveth the Thred, 13. which is drawn thence upon a Yarn-windle; 14 hence either Clewes 15. are wound up, or Hanks 16. are made.
