he_o plough_n and_o sow_n not_o only_o another_o man_n ground_n but_o the_o ground_n of_o stranger_n where_o he_o can_v expect_v nothing_o but_o hard_a deal_n which_o indeed_o he_o find_v the_o last_o circumstance_n be_v of_o the_o time_n which_o be_v a_o time_n of_o famine_n wherein_o all_o man_n be_v most_o discourage_v to_o sow_v both_o because_o of_o their_o present_a want_n of_o that_o seed_n they_o cast_v into_o the_o ground_n which_o may_v serve_v themselves_o and_o because_o they_o fear_v the_o year_n to_o come_v may_v prove_v as_o barren_a as_o that_o which_o be_v pass_v yet_o for_o

look_v assure_o for_o god_n blessing_n which_o he_o find_v and_o therefore_o sow_v from_o whence_o we_o gather_v this_o instruction_n it_o be_v good_a husbandry_n to_o be_v a_o religious_a man_n and_o one_o of_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n that_o be_v a_o faithful_a man_n second_o isaac_n know_v that_o he_o who_o mean_v to_o reap_v the_o fruit_n of_o god_n blessing_n must_v sow_v the_o seed_n of_o his_o own_o labour_n in_o some_o lawful_a and_o honest_a course_n and_o therefore_o he_o sow_v whence_o arise_v this_o observation_n that_o as_o every_o man_n must_v use_v the_o mean_n that_o will_v

god_n will_n the_o rule_n of_o all_o his_o action_n though_o it_o seem_v never_o so_o repugnant_a to_o his_o reason_n and_o to_o conclude_v isaac_n have_v learn_v by_o experience_n that_o god_n be_v not_o rule_v by_o nature_n but_o be_v the_o overruler_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o though_o famine_n shall_v have_v eat_v up_o all_o the_o land_n beside_o yet_o he_o be_v sure_a god_n can_v preserve_v he_o and_o bless_v his_o seed_n when_o the_o the_o field_n of_o other_o man_n languish_v with_o desolation_n and_o waste_v and_o therefore_o he_o sow_v then_o in_o the_o time_n of_o
