mighty_a relief_n to_o the_o industrious_a bee_n the_o reason_n why_o those_o ground_n which_o hang_v from_o the_o horizon_n to_o the_o east_n be_v most_o subject_a to_o this_o dew_n and_o to_o blast_v as_o it_o be_v term_v may_v be_v as_o i_o judge_v the_o sun_n draw_v these_o vapour_n towards_o it_o just_a as_o a_o great_a fire_n draw_v the_o air_n in_o a_o room_n to_o it_o so_o the_o

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

advise_v my_o countryman_n if_o late_o in_o sow_v any_o of_o their_o grain_n to_o steep_v especial_o barley_n as_o well_o as_o wheat_n if_o your_o grain_n be_v spear_v it_o be_v never_o the_o worse_o provide_v you_o sow_v it_o before_o the_o spear_n be_v chill_v or_o dry_v therefore_o commit_v it_o to_o the_o ground_n and_o cover_v it_o as_o you_o can_v your_o wheat_n oat_n and_o barley_n differ_v much_o in_o their_o growth_n from_o other_o seed_n for_o they_o put_v forth_o their_o root_n at_o the_o great_a end_n and_o then_o one_o blade_n or_o long_a leaf_n at_o the_o small_a end_n which_o come_v between_o the_o skin_n and_o the_o body_n of_o the_o seed_n your_o bean_n and_o pease_n put_v forth_o their_o root_n at_o the_o side_n and_o then_o the_o same_o sort_n of_o leaf_n at_o the_o same_o place_n where_o the_o root_n come_v out_o that_o grow_v on_o the_o stalk_n
so_o do_v your_o walnut_n chesnut_n horse-chesnut_n peach_n almond_n apricock_n plumb_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o only_a difference_n from_o bean_n and_o pease_n be_v that_o these_o stone-fruit_n
