beyng the true Graniers of Otes but common Hennes of our Countrie and Housebande or employe them in suche sort as I will shewe hereafter And be not impacient to attende the conclusion Firste of all it is necessarie to haue them neare vnto the Citée of Paris famous and of greate renoume throughout all the worlde to bee the marte and seate of all good Artes and Sciences and populous of all sortes of men if there be any other vnder the Sunne There consider the situation of some commodious place well builded hauyng good roomes and Stabies with a Court or yarde inclosed of twoo Acres of grounde more or lesse and walled of sufficiente height With also twoo other Acres inclosed for an other purpose whereof we will speake hereafter Of these are enow to be founde in the old rurall buildynges about the Citie of Paris So then can you not saie that you are straightly lodged For Quintus Cincinnatus Citezine of Rome so named for wearyng his heire combed and breaded possessed no more when he was called to the dignitie of Dictator as writeth Valerius Maximus in his fowerth booke The aforesaid Mannour place or Ferme with Yard or Courte inclosed you shall take by Lease for certaine yeres paiyng yerely rent for the dwelling of you and your familie You shall dispose your Stables commodiouslie for your Hennes and Chickins with the vewe or prospecte toward the Winter Driente that the Sunne maie giue the good morrowe to your Hēnes whiche greatly delite at the Mornyng Sunne as noteth Columella in his nineth booke of Housebandrie also Varro in his third booke The Henne houses shal be commodious and profitable if thei bee alone or solitarie and the Plankes well couered with claye because the Hennes delite to pruine and toumble them selues in duste and to bee kept warme And therefore bodrdes or plaister are not conuenient to this purpose The Lathers or Perches must be from the ground two foote high Also flat and not round because the Hennes doe not bende or crooke their clawes or Talantes as doe other graspelyng foules The said Henne houses also in the daie tyme must be open that thei maie bee euented with winde and Aire And that the night aire maie more easely trāspire and breath out that it maie cause no disease by close ayre whiche in shorte time causeth putrefaction and diseases thereof procedyng Vnder the Henne houses and all about the stables shall he hanged many Panyers of conuement bignesse stuft with Haye to receiue the Hennes when thei laye For Haye in this case is mutche better then Strawe because it is softer and warmer and is not so apt to engender Lice or Woormes I doe not meane that it should be so deare as was that whiche was sold for fower Attiques the handfull for men to eate at the tyme of the greate Famine in Ierusalem as writeth Iosephus in his seuenth booke of the warre of the Iewes the fower Attiques amountyng to xiiij Frenche Souses after three Souses and sixe Frenche pence for a Souse as muche as the Romaine penie as writeth learned Budaeus in his booke De Asse When you haue thus disposed your Henne houses and made them sure and saffe againste all hurtfull beastes and vermine that maie enter by Daie or Night and haue well placed the Panyars to receiue and harbour theim you shall bestowe the somme of three hundreth Frankes in buiyng of good Hennes whiche maie coste you after the rate of fiue Souses whiche is sixe pence and twoo thirdes the peece by reason of the dearth whiche is now xxv Frāks iv s̄ vj. d. ij thirdes of j. d. by occasion of warres Whiche shal be twelue hundreth Hennes after fiue and twentic Frankes the hundred The Countries of Angeou Touraine and Lodunoys haue been the countries with Britaigne lesse troubled with the said Ciuill warres and therefore Hennes are there better cheape Also verie good strong well membred and of the beste race to make your emploite You shall choose the yongest whiche are apter to laye then the old And the cammō more then thei of kinde or the Blacke Redde and Taunie whiche are more fruitfull then the Graie or White as Aristotle affirmeth in his Historie of beastes in the first booke the firste Chapiter And also thei whiche haue their creaste or combe double and vpright as witnesseth Plinie in his naturall Historie Also Palladius and Petrus Crescencis in his booke of Housebandrie Likewise Carolus Stephanus a man of our tyme and a diligent gatherer of thynges Economike parteinyng to Housholde and Housebandrie Thei of a meane bignesse are the beste hauyng their breast large their bodie well fleshed not with long spurres like vnto Cockes for thei commonly breake their Egges Take heede also that thei be not to fatte Witnesse the good wife whiche beyng in loue with her Henne fed her so well and made her so fat that she left laiyng as rehearseth Esope in his Fables You ought to thinke that the good woman loued her Henne no lesse then the Emperour Honorius Soonne of Theodosius loued his named Rome Who vnderstandyng that Alaricus kyng of the Gothes had takē Rome whiche was the auncient Citie of Rome was verie sad supposyng that Alaricus had taken his Henne whiche he so mutche loued as Zonar the Greeke Historiographer hath written in the life of Honorius I saie the aunciente Rome because the Emperours of the East partes called Constantinople newe Roome In like maner you shall buye Cockes to sort or matche them sixe score Cockes shall suffice for the twelue hundreth Hennes v. li. vi s̄ viij d. For one Cocke maie suffice for ten Hennes Thei maie coste you tenne Souses the peece ouer and aboue the price of the Hennes whiche amounteth to xlviij Frankes Thei of the age from a yere and a halfe vnto twoo yeres are the beste To knowe them well you shall consider the Plumage or Feathers The Blacke Red and Taunie are the beste Also thei that haue their Combe or Creaste vpright and double or diuided Their eyes redde and glisteryng Their becke shorte and hooked well spurred their goyng hautie and proude Their voice strong and soundyng and sutche as crowe mutche representyng sutche a Maiestie as did the Cocke of the Persians whiche emong them was reuerenced and honoured for a kyng as reciteth Aristophanes At the least that thei shewe a certaine hardinesse as thei which the Carians people of the lesse Asia bore vppon their Morion or Helmet goyng to battaill as Alexander de Alexandro hath written in the xx Chapiter of his first booke And if you will take pleasure in Diuination of thynges to come by Cockes Alectoromantia whiche Diuination is named Alectoromantia as did Iamblicus maister of Proclus as Libanius his companion great and learned Philosophers in the tyme of the Emperour Valens you maie make experimente of sutche predictions and therewith dooe pleasure to your freendes And to the ende that you shall not bee ignoraunte in the Theorike or
