meane) in crooked maner, that they are almost apt for nothing else but

nauie timber, great ordinance, and béetels: and such thereto is their

naturall qualitie, that being vsed in the said behalfe, they continue

longer, and more long than anie the like trées in whatsoeuer parcell

else of this land, without cuphar, shaking, or cleauing, as I find."
