cause_v the_o earth_n or_o tree_n to_o miscarry_v their_o fruit_n by_o untimely_a blight_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o some_o extraordinary_a heat_n of_o the_o sun_n especial_o in_o

because_o it_o be_v as_o a_o moth_n or_o consumption_n to_o some_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o in_o some_o breed_v a_o kind_n of_o worm_n that_o eat_v they_o or_o whether_o it_o be_v so_o term_v

some_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o it_o as_o on_o the_o contrary_a wholesome_a dew_n do_v nourish_v they_o or_o some_o putrify_a mist_n which_o make_v they_o to_o rust_v eat_v out_o their_o state_n and_o substance_n as_o canker_n fret_v iron_n and_o this_o the_o latin_a word_n rubigo_fw-la which_o signify_v mildew_n as_o well_o as_o rust_v seem_v to_o import_v for_o as_o there_o be_v wind_n that_o do_v blast_v as_o well_o as_o wind_n that_o blow_v vital_o and_o refresh_o cause_v the_o earth_n to_o fructify_v which_o be_v therefore_o call_v zephyrus_n and_o venti_n favonij_fw-la because_o they_o quicken_v and_o foster_v the_o increase_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o we_o may_v conceive_v that_o there_o be_v some_o dew_n and_o mist_n which_o do_v hurt_v as_o well_o as_o other_o that_o do_v help_v the_o growth_n of_o fruit_n or_o last_o may_v i_o here_o interpose_v what_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v say_v that_o shrink_n of_o corn_n by_o mildew_n may_v be_v thus_o namely_o that_o in_o field_n less_o pervious_a and_o open_a to_o clear_v &_o strong_a wind_n as_o in_o low_a ground_n or_o other_o place_n between_o wood_n and_o hill_n there_o fall_v oftentimes_o sultry_a and_o foggy_a mist_n and_o these_o cover_n and_o keep_v too_o close_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o ground_n under_o they_o as_o under_o thick_a mantle_n do_v cast_v that_o corn_n or_o kind_n of_o grain_n which_o be_v subject_a to_o this_o malady_n as_o it_o be_v into_o a_o unkindly_a sweat_n at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o ear_n thereof_o be_v not_o yet_o sufficient_o fill_v from_o the_o root_n by_o which_o faint_a sweat_n be_v vent_v that_o sweetness_n which_o shall_v feed_v the_o ear_n now_o this_o sweetness_n once_o exhaust_v or_o draw_v out_o at_o the_o stalk_n or_o straw_n stick_v close_o unto_o it_o be_v burn_v or_o make_v adust_a by_o some_o extraordinary_a heat_n of_o the_o sun_n as_o it_o happen_v especial_o in_o the_o canicular_a day_n which_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v make_v the_o roman_n to_o sacrifice_v a_o dog_n to_o mildew_v as_o ovid_n tell_v us._n so_o that_o in_o corn_n thus_o smite_v we_o may_v behold_v the_o straw_n speckle_v with_o black_a spot_n as_o it_o be_v of_o soot_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o sweet_a moisture_n of_o the_o reed_n exhale_v in_o a_o faint_a sweat_n through_o a_o foggy_a mist_n or_o mildew_n and_o then_o afterward_o by_o some_o extraordinary_a heat_n turn_v into_o a_o burn_a and_o black_a matter_n but_o be_v it_o what_o it_o be_v he_o that_o send_v it_o know_v it_o and_o therefore_o leave_v this_o speculation_n see_v the_o lord_n have_v but_o of_o late_o smite_v we_o in_o our_o ground_n with_o a_o burn_a wind_n and_o with_o mildew_n know_v it_o be_v our_o duty_n not_o so_o much_o to_o dispute_v or_o inquire_v what_o they_o be_v and_o whence_o they_o come_v as_o to_o seek_v how_o by_o tear_n of_o repentance_n to_o quench_v that_o fire_n of_o his_o anger_n that_o send_v this_o burn_a into_o our_o field_n so_o by_o mature_o convert_n now_o unto_o he_o we_o shall_v prevent_v the_o next_o year_n like_o affliction_n have_v this_o sanctify_a unto_o we_o and_o be_v free_v for_o ever_o from_o the_o terror_n of_o that_o never_o die_a fire_n yet_o i_o have_v not_o do_v with_o this_o clause_n till_o hence_o i_o have_v gather_v some_o observation_n with_o blast_v and_o mildew_n and_o haile_n with_o these_o he_o smite_v they_o these_o than_o be_v but_o rod_n they_o be_v not_o god_n or_o goddess_n as_o the_o heathen_a think_v they_o the_o thurij_fw-la in_o aelian_n make_v a_o deity_n of_o the_o wind_n and_o the_o roman_n set_v up_o mildew_n for_o a_o goddess_n as_o saint_n austin_n tell_v us._n and_o both_o o_o ridiculous_o absurd_a idolatry_n offer_v sacrifice_n to_o they_o but_o i_o will_v not_o be_v so_o unthrifty_a as_o to_o spend_v one_o word_n in_o refel_v so_o gross_a a_o superstition_n a_o bare_a narration_n be_v confutation_n enough_o for_o so_o childish_a a_o folly_n nor_o have_v i_o vouchsafe_v so_o much_o as_o once_o to_o mention_v it_o but_o to_o reprove_v some_o christian_n that_o laugh_v at_o these_o idol_n and_o yet_o set_v up_o other_o in_o their_o stead_n outward_a prosperity_n who_o desire_v not_o yet_o to_o dote_v upon_o it_o so_o much_o as_o to_o have_v our_o affection_n cling_v to_o it_o and_o set_v altogether_o upon_o the_o thing_n below_o what_o be_v it_o but_o to_o adore_v a_o idol_n and_o yet_o how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o even_o prostitute_v their_o soul_n before_o it_o and_o stick_v not_o to_o sacrifice_v both_o a_o good_a name_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n to_o demerit_n it_o and_o what_o be_v worldly_a prosperity_n to_o speak_v in_o a_o worldling_n language_n but_o fortune_n sultry_a wind_n indeed_o a_o spiritual_a blast_n that_o shrink_v and_o blight_v virtue_n in_o her_o growth_n for_o as_o the_o river_n nilus_n when_o it_o rise_v too_o high_a and_o water_n egypt_n overmuch_a
