that_o which_o grow_v in_o the_o same_o ear_n will_v ofttimes_o produce_v black_a smooted_a corn_n that_o have_v nothing_o but_o a_o little_a black_a dust_n in_o it_o or_o a_o black_a flinty_a

that_o which_o i_o know_v be_v use_v with_o good_a success_n they_o take_v their_o seed-wheat_n and_o steep_v it_o twenty_o or_o twenty_o four_o hour_n in_o water_n and_o salt_n which_o be_v find_v by_o experience_n to_o do_v good_a to_o the_o wheat_n against_o the_o blackness_n and_o help_v it_o in_o its_o growth_n the_o reason_n i_o conceive_v be_v these_o the_o steep_v it_o prepare_v it_o for_o its_o spear_v and_o make_v it_o take_v root_v the_o soon_o therefore_o if_o late_a in_o sow_v steep_a the_o long_o if_o early_o not_o so_o long_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o grain_n that_o be_v not_o perfect_a sound_n this_o will_n either_o kill_v or_o cure_v it_o and_o i_o suppose_v that_o brine_n to_o wheat_n be_v as_o sack_n to_o a_o young_a child_n a_o little_a do_v a_o great_a
