Of their husbandrie.
FIrst, they plowed the ground, this was called [Hha∣rash] Then they plowed it the next yeare, and this was called [nir] novellare: and Ieremiah alludeth to this 4. 3. Plow up your fallow ground; then he harro∣weth the ground, breaketh the clods and maketh it smooth, Esay 28. 24. and prepareth it for the seed: This was called occare.
The Oxe when hee plowed the ground hee eate cleane provender, so the asse: and Esay alludeth to this Esay 30. 24. The Oxen likewise and the young asses that

eare the ground, shall eate cleane provender, which hath bin winnowed with the shovell, and with the fanne. Their other herds they fed them with Sycamores or wilde figges, Amos 7. 14. I was a herd man and a gatherer of Sycamore fruit.
They sowed divers sorts of graine, Esay 28. 25. as fitches, cummin, wheat, barley, and rie.
The barley and the flaxe were smitten with the thunder, but the wheat and the rie were not smitten, because they were hid in the darke, Exod. 9. 31. 32. There was not such difference betwixt the barley and the wheat, that the one was hid in the ground, when the other was sho•• up; therefore it is not rightly translated hidden in the darke, but erant serotina, or somewhat latter.
There were three moneths betwixt their sowing and their first reaping, and foure moneths to the full har∣vest, Ioh. 4. 35. Say not yee, there are yet foure moneths, and then commeth harvest? their barley harvest was at the Passover, and their wheat harvest was at the Pente cost.
