" But before all things, to be sure you lay the Foundation of 

 your Husbandry upon the Blessing of Almighty God : continually 

 imploring His divine aid and assistance in all your labours. For 

 it is God that gives the increase ; and believing this is the Quint- 

 essence and Soul of Husbandry. 



" I therefore desire all country people to endeavour to know 

 these plants which grow at their doors (for God had not planted 

 these there for no purpose for He doth nothing in vain). . . ."
