Malting.
Ill malting is theft, Wood dride hath a weft. Malting. 1 House may be so handsome, and skilfulnes such, to make thy owne malt, it shall profit thee much. 2 Som drieth with strawe, and some drieth with wood, wood asketh more charge, and nothing so good.[E442] Take heede to the kell, Sing out as a bell. 3 Be suer no chances to fier can drawe, the wood, or the furzen, the brake or the strawe. 4 Let Gillet be singing, it doth verie well, to keepe hir from sleeping and burning the kell. Best dride best speedes, Ill kept, bowd breedes. 5 Malt being well speered, the more it will cast, malt being well dried, the longer will last. 6 Long kept in ill soller, (vndoubted thou shalt,) through bowds without number loose quickly thy malt.[E443]
