Now it may be intended, that there may be in the houshold more
servants than one; and so you will demand of mee, what the rest
of the servants shall be imployed in before and after the time
of plowing: to this I answer, that they may either goe into the
barne and thrash, fill or empty the maltfat, load and unload the
kilne, or any other good and necessary work that is about the
yard, and after they come from plowing, some may goe into the
barne and thrash, some hedge, ditch, stop gaps in broken fences,
dig in the orchard or garden, or any other out-worke which is
needfull to be done, and which about the husbandman is never
wanting, especially one must have a care every night to looke to
the mending or sharpening of the plough-irons, and the repairing
of the plough and plough-geares, if any be out of order, for to
deferre them till the morrow, were the losse of a daies worke,
and an ill point of husbandry.
