_ The fituation of 4 Kitchen Garden, or Garden of Herbes, and what fort of 
: manure is fittef to belpe the decaying of the foyle thereof. 
" {ufficientto entreat of, but this worke permitteth not that libertie ¢ 
~ and I thinke there are but few but eyther know it already, or conceiue it fufficiently in 
_ theirminds. ' Paffing therefore no further in fuch difcourfes, I cometo the matter in 
hand,which is to fhew you where the fitteft place is for an herbe garden. As before 
_ fhewed youthat thebeautie of any worthy houfe is much the more commended for’ 
the pleafant fituation of the garden of flowers,or of pleafure,to be in the fight and full 
profpect of all the chiefe and choifeft roomes of the houfe; fo contratiwife,yout herbe: 
garden fhould bee onthe one or other fide of thé houfe, and thofe beft and choyfe- 
roomes : forthe many different ferits that arife fromthe herbes, as Cabbages, Onions, 
&c. are {carce well pleafing to perfurnethe lodgings of any honfe; and the many oucr=- 
tures and breaches as it were of many ofthe beds thereof,which muft neceflarily bee, 
dre alfoas little pleafantto the fight. But for priuate mens houfes, who muft like theit® 
habitations as they fall vnto them, and cannot haue time or meanesto alter them, they 
muft makea vertue of neceffity, and conuert their places to their beft aduantage, by 
making tlreir profit their chiefeft pleafure, and making one place fernefor all vies. The 
choyce of ground for this Garden, is(as I {aid before) where it is fat, fertilland good, 
there needeth the leffe labour and coft : and contrariwife, where it is cold, wet, dry or 
barren, there muft bee the more helpes fill added tokeepe it inheart. Forthis Garden 
by reafon of the much andcontinuall ftirring therein, the herbes and rootes drawing 
ont the fub{tance of the fertilitiethereof more aboundantly then inthe former, mutt 
be continually holpen with foyle, or elfe few things of goodneffe or worth will come 
forward therein. Theftable foyle of horfesis beft and more proper for any colde 
grounds, for being the hotteft, it will caufe any the feedes for this Cader. 
well,and bemore forwardthen in any other groundthat is not fo holpen. The ftable 
foyleof Cattell is of a colder and moifter : and is therefore more proper ra
