manurance

1. (obsolete) cultivationExamples: "although there should none of them fall by the sword , nor be saine by the soldier , yett thus beinge keepte from manurance , and theire cattle from runinge abroade"; "For as the wronging or cherishing of seeds or young plants is that that is most important to their thriving, and as it was noted that the first six kings being in truth as tutors of the state of Rome in the infancy thereof was the principal cause of the immense greatness of that state which followed, so the culture and manurance of minds in youth hath such a forcible (though unseen) operation, as hardly any length of time or contention of labour can countervail it afterwards."countableobsoleteuncountable
