 further profit and pleafure , to put into En- 
 glifh, thefe foure Bookcs of Husbandry,col- 
 leftcd and fet forth , by Matter £W*fr Ht- 
 retUub, a great and a learned Counccller of

 k though I haue altered and increafed hii

 thcexperienceof fundry my fr.ends.to take from him (as dmeis 
 in the like cafe haue done) the honour and glory of his owmetrt- 
 uaile : Neither is it my minde,that trot either his doings,or mine, 
 fhould deface, or any wayes darken the good enterpr.fe, or pain,

 knowledge and skill,that our skilfulleft husbands haue i but alfo

To the Reader. 
 
 they may in fhorttime fo be denized and made acquainted with 
 our Toy le, asrhey will p^ofperas well as the old Inhabitants. It is 
 not many ages agone, fince both the Peacfyhe PiiUce,the Pine, 
 the Cyprcllcjthc Wamur, the Almond,the Chery, the Figge, the 
 AbricockjthcMQskc Roft, and a great fort^-f others, both Trcet 
 and Plants, being (bine Perfunvfomc Scythians,fome Armenians^ 
 fomc Irahans, fome Frjnch,all Grangers and aliants, were brought 
 in asnouelriesamongftvs, that doe now mod of them as well, 
 yea, and fomc of them better, being planted amongft vs in Eng. 
 land, then ifthey were ac home. I hauealfo beene car cfull about 
 the planting and ordering of the Vine,frhough fomc of myfricndf 
 would haue had itomitted.as altogether impertinentto our coun- 
 trie : becaufe I am fully perfwaded if dihgence, and good huf- 
 bandrte might be vfed) wee might haue a reafonable good Wine 
 growing in many placet of this Realme .as vndoubtedly we had 
 immediately a f rer theConqueft, till partly byflothfulnetTc, not 
 lising any thing long that is pamcfull , partly by Quill difcord 
 long continuing it was [eft, and fo with time loft, as appearethby 
 a number of places in this Realme, that keepes full the name of 
 Vineyards : and vpon many Cliffesand Hilles are yet to be feene 
 the rootes, and olde remaines of Vines. There is befides N$ttn£- 
 bam an auncient houfe called Chtiwet!, in which houferemaineth 
 yet as an auncient monument in a great window of glatle, the 
 whole order of planting , proyning, ftamping. andprefling of 
 Vines. Befides, there is yet alfo grow ing, an oldcVine.thatyeelda 
 a Grape fufficient to make a right good Wine, aswai lately pro- 
 ucd by a Gentle* oman in the fayd Houfe. There hath moreouc r 
 good experience of late yecres beene made , by iao Noble and 
 Honourable Barons of this Realme, the Lord Vtllums of Tame t 
 and rhe Lord Cokb«m , who both had growing about their hou* 
 fesasgood Vines, as are in many places of France. And if they 
 anfwere not in all points euery mans expe<3arion,the fault is rather 
 to be imputed tc the malice & difdaine peraduenture of the French- 
 men that kept them,t hen to any ill difpofition.or fault of the foyle. 
 For where haue you in any place better, or pleafanter Wines.then 
 about Batkr*cb , Ccltn , tsfndtrnacb , and dk'ers other places of 
 Germanic, that haue in manner the fdfe-fame latitude and difpo- 
 
 fuion 
 
To the Reader. 
 
 fition of the Heaucns that wehaue f Befide, thatthe nearencfleto 
 the South, is not altogether the caufcr of good Wines, appeareth 
 in that you hauc about Orleans, great flore of good and excellent 
 Wine: whereas > if you goc to 'Bnrges % twodayes iourney farther 
 to the South , you (hall finde a Wine not worth the drinking. The 
 like is (as I hauc heard reported by Matter D.2Wf,Embatfadour 
 for his Maicftie in thefe parts J of T*rts, and BarUduke, the Towne 
 being Southward, with noughtic Wines : the other a great wayes 
 farther to the North , with ms good Wines as may be. But admit 
 England would yeeld none fo ftrong and pleafant Winesas are dc» 
 fired (as I am fully pcrf* aded it would,) yet is it worth the triail and 
 trauaile to haue Wines of our owne, though they be the fmaller : 
 and therefore I thought it not meet to leaueoutofmy bookethe 
 ordering andtrimming of Vines. It rcmaincth now (good Reader) 
 that thou take in good part my trauaile and good will, which 
 were chicfely employed to thepleafuringand benefiting of thee, 
 and not to quarrell with mee, as is the manner of the mod fort, 
 for cuery fault and oucrfightthat hath efcapedmy hands, nor to 
 lookefor any curious 3 or well meafurcd ftile, wherewith I am not 
 able to fatisfic thee , and though I were, yet were it neither for 
 the matter nor method nccciTary. And therefore I truft thou wiJt 
 accept it as ft is, fpecially considering, that I neither had Icifure 
 nor quietnelTcat the doing of it, neither after the doing had cuer 
 any time to oucr Iooke it, but was driuen to deliuer it to the Prin- 
 ters I fir ft wrote it i neither was I priuy to the printing,ril!fuch 
 time as it was finifhed. And therefore ( though there be faults,and 
 great faults in it) I am not to be charged with them, that if time, 
 or opportunitic had fcrucd, would not hauc fuffcredthem.

 Of no woman s Dowrie. 
 See whether the Tenure be bond or free,

 See that the feller be of age, 
 
 And that it lie not in morgage, 
 V Vhethera taile be thereof found, 
 
 And whether it ftand in ftatute bound. 
 Gonfider what feruice longeth thereto, 
 
 And what quitrent thereout muft goe. 
 And if it be come of a wedded woman, 
 
 Thinke thou then on.couert baron, 
 And if thou may in any wife, 
 
 Make thy Charter with warrantife.
