in_o bedfordshire_n cambridgeshire_n northamptonshire_n and_o many_o other_o country_n where_o be_v the_o great_a flight_n of_o pigeon_n there_o they_o have_v the_o great_a crop_n of_o corn_n second_o pigeon_n do_v not_o feed_v on_o corn_n cover_v except_o part_v of_o it_o be_v visible_a and_o though_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o most_o husbandman_n for_o want_n of_o better_a judgement_n that_o

although_o it_o may_v grow_v to_o blade_n stem_n and_o ear_n yet_o shall_v not_o kernel_n or_o produce_v seed_n for_o in_o great_a drought_n the_o sun_n will_v not_o only_o scorch_v the_o seed_n

than_o the_o root_n will_v reach_v unto_o and_o now_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o foresay_a accident_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o seed_n be_v so_o much_o weaken_v that_o it_o can_v prosper_v as_o the_o other_o seed_n the_o great_a enemy_n to_o new_a sow_v corn_n be_v field_n rat_n and_o mouse_n and_o rook_n for_o they_o will_v not_o only_o devour_v and_o carry_v away_o all_o above_o ground_n in_o
