The quality 

 of ground 

 distempered 

 with heate. 



WATER-WORKES. 



of raine, doth raise upon a dung-hill-poole 

 great bubbles (like an Oxe-eye) by falling 

 of the drops thereon ; or, as water in a 

 pott, by the heate of the fire, doth labour, 

 and shew distemper : so, did that water- 

 worke, play, and bubble on the face of 

 the ground^ shewing (for a quarter of an 

 houre) nothing but discontent. 



The ground being qualified, the grasse 

 did not instantly grow (as at other times, 

 being orderly fedd) the coullour being 

 changed, the grasse standing at the point 

 of death, being in that case as a sicke 

 pacient having taken a purgation, who 

 must have a time of recovery : so did the 

 grasse^ for diverse dayes, shew nothing 

 but sorrow, heavinesse and all discomfort. 

 It beeing once made yellow by the heate 

 of the Sunne, and recovered of the Yellow- 

 Jaundies, although the comfort of the 

 water put life into it; yet, during the 

 season, it had never his perfect complec- 

 tion againe: the/w/z/ever carrying a shew 

 of poysoning; which error (with Gods 

 helpe) I will never committ hereafter. 



Let all men drowne before they Mowe, 



and after Mowing, your grasse will not 



bee yellow, but as greene as a Leeke.
