48. 8. “‘Within these fortie yeeres we shall haue little great 
timber growing aboue fortie yeeres old ; for it is commonlie seene 
that those yong s/add/es which we leaue standing at one and twentie 
yeeres fall, are vsuallie at the next sale cut downe without any 
danger of the statute, and serue for fire bote, if it please the owner to 
burne them.”—Harrison, Part I. p. 345. ‘‘ There is a Statute made, 
35 Henry the 8, and the 1 Eliz. for the preseruation of timber trees, 
Oake, Ash, Elme, Aspe, and Beech: and that 12 storers and 
standils should bee left standing at euery fall, vpon an acre.”— 
Norden’s Surveyor’s Dialogue, 1607, p. 213. On the decrease in 
woods, etc., in England, see Harrison’s Description of England 
(New Shakspere Soc. edit. F. J. Furnivall, Part I. p. 344) and 
Norden’s Surveyor’s Dialogue, 1607, p. 214,-in the latter of which 
one cause is stated to be the large number of hammers and 
furnaces for the manufacture of iron, and the quantity of charcoal 
used in the glass-houses ; there being, as he says: ‘‘ now or lately 
in Sussex, neere 140 hammers and furnaces for iron, and in it, 
_and Surry adjoyning 3,400 glasse houses : the hammers and furnaces 
spend, each of them, in every 24 houres 2, 3 or foure loades of 
charrcoale.”—p. 215. ‘‘ There is a Law in Spaine, that he that 
cuts down one Tree, shall plant ¢hree for it.’—A Treatise of Fruit 
Trees, R. A. Austin, Oxford, 1657, p. 128. 
48. 11. ‘“‘ Leaue oxen abrode,” etc. The Author of Tusser Redi- 
vivus is supported in his reading of this line by the edition of 1597, 
which has ‘‘leaue of oxe abrode.”’ ‘The sense, however, may 
possibly be, ‘““keep oxen at a distance, for fear of injuring the 
young shoots. ‘‘Springe or ympe that commeth out of the rote.” 
—Huloet’s Abcedarium, 1552. ‘‘ Keep from biting, treading un- 
derfoot, or damage of beasts ...... whereby mischief may be 
done to the Srings, during the time limited by the statute for 
such kind of wood.”—Brumby Lease, 1716, in Peacock’s Glossary, 
E. Dial. Soc.

thing which was never lost.

48. 22. ‘“‘Waine her to mee.” Perhaps=waggon, that is, drive, 
carry her to me,” but it is a forced expression. 
‘«Such maister such man.” Another form of the proverb is, 
‘“Trim, Tram ; like master, like man.” ‘‘Tel maitre, tel valet” (Fr.). 
49. Compare with Tusser’s description of the faults to be avoided 
in the making of cheese the following extracts on the same subject: 
‘« Now what cheese is well made or otherwise may partly be per- 
ceiued by this old Latine verse : 
Non nix, non Argos, Methusalem, Magdaleneve, 
Esaus, non Lazarus, caseus ille bonus.
