And would be more worthy to be enquired, if it were in Mens Power, to ! 
I helpe them 5 Whereas many of them are not to be remedied. Th cMil- 
dewis one of the Greateft, which (opt of queftion) commeth.by Clofc- 
nejfe of Aire< And therefore in HiUs, or large Champ aigne Grounds, it fei- 
domecommeth- Such as is with vs York's maid. This cannot be reme¬ 
died, otherwife than that in Countries of Small Enclofure, the Grounds 
bee turned into larger Fields: Which I haue knowen to doe good in 
feme Farmes. Another Difeafei s the Putting forth of Wilde Oats, where- 
into Come oftentimes, (efpecially Barley) doth degenerate. It happe- 
neth chiefly from the weaknejjeof the Graine that is fowen - For if it bee 
either too Old, or Mouldy, it will bring forth mlde Oats. Another Dif- 
eafe is the Satiety of the Ground • For if you few one Ground (till with 
the fame Come, (Imeane not the fame C^r/ze that grew vpon the feme 
Ground,) but the fame Kinde of Graine.-, (As wheats Barley ,&c.) it will 
profper but poorely: Therefore befides the Refling of the Ground, you 
muff varie the Seed. Another ill Accident is, from the winds, which hurt 
>| at two times- At the Flowring, by Shaking off the Flowers • And at the 
| full Ripening} by Shaking out the Come. Another ill Accident is. Drouth , 
flat the Spindling of the Come • Which with vs is rare - But in Hotter 
I Countries, common: Infomuch as the Word, Calamity, was firft deri-- 
I ued from Calamus , when the Come could not get out,of th c Stalke. An- 
I other ill Accident is. Oner-wet at sowing-time - which with vsbreedeth 
I much Dearth ; Infomuch as the Come neuercoinmethvp • And (many 
1 times) they are forced to refow Sommer-Corne,.where they fowed win- 
ter-Corne. Another ill Accident is Bitter Frofis,continued,without Snow\ 
Efpecially in the Beginning of the winter, after the Seed is new Sowen. 
I Another Difeafe is wormes 5 which fometimes breed in the Root, and 
.happen vpon Hot Surnes, and showers, immediately after the Sowings 
And another florae breedeth in the Eare itSelfe- Efpecially when Hot 
S wanes breake often out of clouds. Another Difeafe is weeds-. And they 
are fuch, as either Choake , and Ouer-fhadow the Come, and beareit 
downe j Orftarue the Come, anddeceineit of ISfourifhment. Another 
Difeafets, Ouer-Rancknejfe of the Come’, Which they vie to remedy, by j 
Mowing it after it is come vp^ Or putting sheepe into it. Another ill 
Accident is haying of Come with great Raines, neare, or in Harueft. Ano¬ 
ther ill Accident is, if the Seed happen to haue touched Oy'le, or any 
Thing,thatis Fat For thofe S usances haue an Antipathy with Nourifh -
