That a Mill must be built and the water that should make it go must come out of a Well near his Garden which though it hath seldome water in it he said should be a Well for ever 7. That there should be the eighteenth day a great draught of Fishes which he himself with Zebedee must draw which as t is reported proved to be but a Codling 8.
