to_o enjoy_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n then_o sinful_a and_o unthankful_a man_n sometime_o even_o when_o the_o corn_n be_v not_o yet_o reap_v but_o expect_v the_o hook_n or_o while_o it_o stand_v in_o the_o field_n await_v to_o be_v house_v in_o the_o barn_n god_n send_v airy_a thresher_n violent_a wind_n to_o beat_v it_o out_o of_o the_o ear_n the_o furrow_n of_o the_o field_n do_v become_v the_o threshing-floore_n the_o wheat_n be_v sow_v where_o it_o grow_v and_o that_o without_o the_o help_n of_o hand_n plough_n or_o harrow_n thus_o harvest_n thresh_v and_o seedtime_n do_v untimely_o meet_v together_o as_o they_o do_v some_o few_o year_n since_o our_o cry_a sin_n scourge_v particular_o the_o vile_a abuse_n of_o the_o creature_n by_o drunkenness_n and_o riot_n have_v

this_o dearth_n be_v not_o inflict_v immediate_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n men._n but_o enforce_v by_o wicked_a man_n cruel_a covetousness_n god_n have_v not_o break_v the_o staff_n of_o bread_n

waste_v and_o yet_o the_o land_n mourn_v the_o corn_n be_v not_o waste_v but_o withhold_v god_n have_v not_o send_v want_n of_o bread_n but_o covetousness_n have_v cause_v cleanness_n of_o tooth_n god_n have_v not_o smite_v we_o with_o blast_v nor_o send_v caterpillar_n nor_o cankerworm_n but_o the_o devil_n have_v raise_v up_o caterpillar_n and_o locust_n those_o 6._o catcher_n at_o the_o

the_o unsatiable_a greediness_n of_o the_o seller_n many_o man_n barn_n be_v full_a of_o corn_n but_o their_o breast_n be_v empty_a of_o compassion_n their_o garner_n be_v stuff_v and_o store_v two_o
