This moneth and the next are best to fell great timber in the old of the Moon: uncover the roots of your fruit trees: fallow land for barley: look well to your cattle.
Now cold December is come in,The poor mans back is cloathed thin:Then feed and cloath him as you may,The Lord will it threefold repay.
