The Herring Fishing beginneth the middle of Iune, and ceaseth about the middle of November, but from the time of going forth, untill the returne will bee full sixe mo∣neths.
The same Busse being set forth with hooke and line, for Cod and Lyng may be employed therein, untill the be∣ginning of March, and then returning, is to bee graved, cawlked and fitted out againe for the Herring Fishing.
The Countrey-men imployed, may after the Herring Fishing, returne to their Countrey imployment, or beat and dresse Hempe, spin, twine, and brade deepings, and the like. The Gange Busse being open with one deck, is fittest for the Herring Fishing in regard the nets will bee better preserved therein, then in a two deck Busse, and the charge is much lesse.
