We haue Wheat, Barly, Gates and Beanes both eared and codded, and though the late fowing and fettingof them might occafion the contrary, yet it ripens nowfofaft, that it carries the likelihood of an approching hanieft.

Our Beanes are exceeding good : our Peafc fhall goe without compare ; For they are in fome places as high as a man of an extraor- dinary ftature ; Raddifli as biggc as mine arme ; Lettice, Cale or Cabbedge,Turneps, Garrets and all the reft is of like goodncffe.
