The unthankfull Husbandman, condemned. [ 880]
THe Heathens when they went to plow in the morning,* 1.1 they laid on one of
their hands to the stilts of the plough, and they lifted up the other to Ceres,
the Goddess of Corne; this did they do by the dim light of Nature: What a sad
thing then is it in such times of light, that so many Husbandmen manuring the
ground,* 1.2 should be but as so many fungi, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, sprung up out of the ground,
like Toad-stools, affixi glebae, filii terrae, having their minds fixed to the Earth, never
elevating them higher then the Oxe which laboureth with them? but had they
hearts to look up to God, and to eye him in the wayes of his providence, O beat••s
Agricolas, how happy would they be?
