A wheel - A lower wheel than a cart wheel, but of the same form, upon which possibly the threshing instrument was drawn.
For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheele turned about vpon the cummin: but the fitches are beaten out with a staffe, and the cummin with a rodde.
