Of the Honey-Dews 125 
And it is the opinion of many authors, that there is 
no material or fubftantial difference between the honey= 
dew, and the ancient manna of the J/raelites in the wil 
dernefs, 
The Manna fell on the ground like hoary froft, was 
gathered early before the fun waxed hot, and tafted like 
wafers made with honey, which fhews fome fimilitude 
and agreement betwixt them, 
Honey was the fugar of the ancients, and the Romans 
ufed it in their. feafts,* 
@ Purchas’s Theatre p. 155.
