_The Observation generall of the Fruits of the Earth._ God hath not left himselfe without wit in all parts and coasts of the world; the raines and fruitfull seasons, the Earth, Trees, Plants, &c. filling mans heart with food and gladnesse, witnesseth against and condemneth man for his unthankfullnesse and unfruitfullnesse towards his Maker. More particular. Yeeres thousands since, God gave command (As we in Scripture find) That Earth, and Trees and Plants should bring Forth fruit each in his kind. The wildernesse remembers this The wild and howling land Answers the toyling labour of, The wildest Indians hand. But Man forgets his Maker, who, Fram’d him in Righteousnesse. A paradise in Paradise, now worse Than Indian wildernesse. CHAP. XVII. _Of Beasts, &c._ Penashímwock, Beasts. Netasûog, Cattell.
