Reading edition

: A plowland must have sheepe, yea they must have sheepe, to dung their ground for bearing of corn; for if they have no sheepe to helpe to fat the ground, they shall have but bare corn and thin. They must have swine for their food, to make them veneries or bacon of. Their bacon is their venison. (For they shall now have hangum tuum if they get any other venison.) So that bacon is their necessary meate to feed on, which they may not lack. They must have other cattels, as horses to draw their plows, and for carriage of things to the markets, and kine for their milke and cheese, which they must live upon and pay their rents. These cattell must have pasture, which pasture if they lack, the rest must needs fail them. And pasture they cannot have, if the land be taken in, and inclosed from them. (Latimer's Sermons, édition 1635, p. 105.)
