It cannot but °cent to the obferektipn ot every
intelligent Being, that the k,fftett,ll*rlty
.is not
merely partial, but utti•herial, thronghsidr,the gene-
rat produCtions of Nature.'
It takes up the wonderous tale with wheat,barlcy,
grain,. and pulfe of every fpecies ; grafs for bay,
and herbage for cattle, in a prPfhiipn farce ever
' remembered. It eitehas to fruits and vegetahles of
every kind for our prefent• convenience ; to pota-
toes, carrots, and other ufeful roots for a later
period. To turnip and the hardy' (+feculent plants
for our !heap during the winter, and it includes
the hop, the nut and even the. great variety of
berries, and other fpoutaneous predndions, which
adorn our hedges, and which are undoubtedly de.
lived by PSOVIDINCB for wife falatary pncpofes.
o this catalogue of the ample prockutiontof the
prefect year, let it be efpecially obferved, that the
llatcly oak and the teeming beech have kindly eon-
tributed their (hare alfo towards the general plenty,
and will contribute ina great meefu re to replemila the
country with a ufeful race of animals, which have
been almoft extirpated in confequenee of the fop,
suer failure of this important producextautl the
enormous price of other articles of their collo/nary
food, infomuth that the cottager and the (mall
farmer were unable to Attain thitif.airtitigh the
winter, hence they met a premature fate; kircky,
and unprecedented dearnets was the •incviteble.,
confequence.
• To thefe obvious' remarks I Poll onli,begie4ye
to fuggeft my wifhes, and my: advice to every
farmer, to every miller, to every baler, tcfevery
jobber, to every contra tor,' and to !Very
}tonal man, to lay his hand upon IA heart, to'
Confefs that " ftich things are," and not to attempt'
by any far fetched pretence, any fophiftry, chi-
canery, or fubterfuge, any tralreprefentakon, or
any deviation from truth itfelf, to gainfay or tb
controverteltefe felf-apparent fitastor to endeavour
to counteraCt the will and bounty of an all-wife
and good PROVIDENCE, who hath fo kindly taken
our Cafe -into confideration; and fo wonderftilli
adminiflers to our relief. I will conclude thiclhott
Effay with an exhortation to them extraCtedfrdm a
molt admirable invocation to theDrivv,compofed
upon this oceafion, under the diredtion of the pre-
fent Bifhop of Lincoln :
ALMICHTY Gov, by the Wrings of whofe
gracious Providence the fruits of the earth are
abundant, and are about to be fafcly lodged in
the poffeffion of man, for his future fubfilience,
grant us grace to praife Try' EE with thankful hearts,
for this thy gaodnefs ! Imprint deeply on our
hearts the awful and important leffon of our entire
dependance upon T. E!
" The variations of weather and fcafons have
from time to time brought this coplideration home
to our thoughts, but it hath too frequently wanifhed
from our remembrance, as loon asthe cloud whirls.
excited out apprehenflons paired away,or the norm
which threatened our fields abated its fury. Banat
all covetoufnefs and immoderate love of gain, from
the minds of thofe who poffefs the Flores of thy
bounty! that contenting themfelves' with pit
recompence for their labour, they• ;bay not,:as for
wicked and rapacious purpofes, int&tifk‘t the.free
and regular circulation of the neceraiii:s of
life, &c."'
May every one duly confider tills, and apply it
where it ought to be applied—to his own con:
fcience—andrmay it have a lively and prevailing
efficacy upon his future condall PALE mou.
