blessing_n of_o the_o lord_n upon_o our_o labour_n and_o this_o the_o reason_n that_o although_o the_o husbandman_n have_v be_v laborious_a and_o diligent_a in_o his_o calling_n these_o last_o year_n yet_o our_o crop_n have_v be_v thin_a his_o cattle_n sweep_v away_o and_o scarcity_n and_o famine_n have_v sieze_v on_o all_o part_n of_o this_o land_n and_o if_o we_o have_v not_o be_v supply_v from_o abroad_o we_o have_v quite_o devour_v all_o the_o creature_n of_o this_o island_n for_o our_o sustenance_n and_o yet_o we_o can_v not_o be_v satisfy_v but_o must_v have_v devour_v one_o another_o and_o therefore_o to_o conclude_v though_o i_o desire_v the_o husbandman_n to_o be_v diligent_a and_o laborious_a in_o his_o call_n yet_o i_o counsel_v he_o to_o break_v off_o his_o sin_n by_o repentance_n to_o have_v his_o eye_n towards_o he_o who_o be_v the_o giver_n of_o every_o good_a thing_n and_o to_o pray_v daily_o to_o he_o for_o his_o blessing_n who_o give_v free_o to_o they_o that_o ask_v and_o upbraid_v not_o and_o although_o all_o calling_n ought_v to_o look_v up_o to_o he_o that_o be_v on_o high_a yet_o the_o countryman_n especial_o for_o he_o have_v a_o more_o immediate_a dependence_n on_o he_o then_o any_o other_o for_o if_o the_o lord_n withhold_v his_o fat_a dew_n from_o heaven_n or_o the_o former_a or_o latter_a rain_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a that_o the_o husbandman_n rise_v up_o early_o and_o go_v to_o bed_v late_o and_o eat_v the_o bread_n of_o carefulness_n for_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o make_v barren_a place_n fruitful_a and_o he_o likewise_o that_o turn_v fruitful_a land_n into_o barrenness_n as_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n which_o be_v very_o fruitful_a even_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o canaanite_n but_o now_o a_o barren_a desert_n and_o therefore_o i_o again_o desire_v the_o countryman_n to_o walk_v as_o it_o become_v a_o christian_n in_o all_o sobriety_n righteousness_n and_o godliness_n not_o to_o trust_v or_o put_v his_o confidence_n in_o his_o own_o labour_n and_o good_a husbandry_n but_o on_o the_o lord_n that_o have_v make_v all_o thing_n for_o though_o even_o paul_n himself_o do_v plant_v and_o apollo_n do_v water_n yet_o it_o be_v only_o the_o lord_n that_o give_v increase_v and_o plenty_n which_o he_o will_v not_o deny_v to_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o for_o they_o shall_v want_v nothing_o that_o be_v good_a last_o for_o a_o corollary_n i_o will_v add_v though_o it_o do_v not_o so_o much_o concern_v the_o husbandman_n as_o those_o of_o great_a power_n and_o authority_n that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a deficiency_n in_o england_n that_o we_o do_v not_o magazine_n or_o store_n up_o corn_n when_o the_o lord_n send_v we_o plenty_n and_o therefore_o at_o cheap_a rate_n as_o joseph_n do_v in_o egypt_n against_o dear_a year_n for_o then_o the_o grain_n be_v pure_a &_o the_o perfect_a without_o smut_n mildew_n shrankness_n or_o other_o imperfection_n and_o be_v the_o best_a for_o long_a preservation_n this_o be_v much_o use_v in_o poland_n dantrigk_n italy_n holland_n etc._n etc._n and_o be_v find_v of_o wonderful_a importance_n by_o this_o mean_v holland_n which_o sow_v little_a or_o no_o corn_n seldom_o or_o never_o feel_v a_o famine_n though_o it_o be_v incredible_o populous_a and_o for_o want_v of_o this_o good_a policy_n england_n which_o many_o year_n abound_v with_o corn_n be_v sore_o bite_v therewith_o as_o be_v manifest_a in_o these_o last_o year_n in_o which_o have_v not_o our_o neighbour_n wise_o and_o politic_o provide_v for_o we_o we_o shall_v have_v famish_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o further_o this_o store_v of_o corn_n will_v save_v vast_a sum_n of_o money_n which_o in_o dear_a year_n be_v export_v for_o bread_n and_o also_o well_o balance_v the_o price_n of_o corn_n so_o that_o the_o honest_a husbandman_n need_v not_o murmur_n and_o be_v discourage_v because_o that_o the_o price_n be_v low_a and_o market_n scant_o in_o plentiful_a year_n because_o then_o the_o magazine_n be_v to_o be_v restore_v nor_o the_o artisan_n be_v famish_v by_o the_o excessive_a rate_n of_o bread_n in_o dear_a year_n for_o then_o the_o magazine_n be_v to_o be_v exhaust_v the_o best_a way_n for_o the_o wise_a carry_v on_o of_o this_o business_n the_o politician_n must_v lay_v forth_o but_o that_o belong_v not_o to_o our_o call_n

of_o pasture_n for_o that_o good_a or_o bad_a housewifery_n make_v or_o mar_v cheese_n be_v very_o well_o know_v as_o also_o that_o difference_n of_o pasture_n in_o respect_n of_o sweetness_n and_o

but_o that_o the_o difference_n of_o water_n do_v cause_v those_o alteration_n i_o very_o much_o question_n for_o i_o know_v that_o in_o kent_n whether_o the_o cow_n drink_v puddle_n or_o pond-water_n or_o clean_a spring_n or_o fresh_a or_o brackish_a which_o in_o some_o place_n they_o oft_o do_v yet_o the_o butter_n and_o cheese_n be_v the_o same_o if_o the_o pasture_n be_v alike_o but_o if_o pasture_n vary_v these_o vary_v and_o so_o likewise_o i_o may_v say_v of_o the_o housewife_n i_o know_v a_o farm_n within_o a_o mile_n of_o gravesend_n where_o the_o cattle_n always_o drink_v at_o one_o common_a pond_n in_o the_o yard_n if_o they_o graze_v on_o one_o side_n of_o the_o house_n the_o butter_n be_v yellow_a sweet_a and_o good_a and_o cheese_n also_o but_o if_o on_o the_o other_o the_o butter_n be_v white_a sowrish_n and_o cheese_n naught_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v little_a difference_n in_o the_o pasture_n to_o a_o vulgar_a eye_n which_o have_v cause_v the_o good_a wife_n to_o report_v it_o as_o a_o wounderful_a strange_a thing_n whereas_o the_o cause_n be_v manifest_a for_o the_o one_o side_n have_v much_o trefoil_n and_o lie_v on_o the_o chalk_n the_o other_o side_n

much_o in_o respect_n of_o pasture_n and_o i_o suppose_v that_o if_o the_o pasture_n mention_v in_o holland_n by_o the_o animadversor_n be_v well_o view_v by_o a_o judicious_a man_n the_o like_a
