The Dressing of Line.

Tractatio Lini.

Line and Hemp
being rated in water,
and dryed again, 1.
are braked
with a wooden Brake, 2.
where the Shives, 3.
fall down,
then they are heckled
with an Iron Heckle, 4.
where the Tow, 5.
is parted from it.		Linum & Cannabis,
macerata aquis,
et siccata rursum, 1.
contunduntur
Frangibulo ligneo, 2.
ubi Cortices, 3.
decidunt
tum carminantur
Carmine ferreo, 4.
ubi Stupa, 5.
separatur.
Flax is tyed to a Distaff, 6.
by the Spinster, 7.
which with her left hand
pulleth out the Thread, 8.
and with her right hand
turneth a Wheel, 9.
or a Spindle, 10.
upon which is a Wharl, 11.		Linum purum alligatur Colo, 6.

The Spool receiveth
the Thread, 13.
which is drawn thence

Weaving.

Textura.

The Webster
undoeth the Clews, 1.
into Warp,
and wrappeth it about
the Beam, 2.
and as he sitteth
in his Loom, 3.
he treadeth upon the Treddles, 4.
with his Feet.		Textor

pedibus.
He divideth the Warp, 5.
with Yarn.
and throweth the Shuttle, 6. through,
in which is the Woofe,
and striketh it close.
with the Sley, 7.
and so maketh
Linen cloth, 8.		Diducit Stamen, 5.
