sort_v of_o vine_n be_v the_o rhenish-grape_n for_o it_o grow_v in_o a_o temperate_a country_n not_o much_o hot_a in_o the_o summer_n then_o england_n and_o the_o wine_n be_v excellent_a as_o all_o

that_o france_n have_v silk_n enough_o to_o maintain_v their_o excess_n of_o apparel_n and_o to_o export_v plush_n velvet_n etc._n etc._n now_o than_o if_o that_o these_o worm_n can_v thrive_v not_o

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

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

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

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
