When the Graffes be pinched with the Stocke.
YE must for the better understanding, marke to graffe be∣twixt the Barke and the Tree, for when the sappe is full in the wood of wild Stocks being great, then they doe common∣ly pinch or wring the grafts too sore, if ye doe not put a small wedge of greene wood in the cleft thereof, to helpe them withall against such danger.
