OBSERVATION.
Husbandmen are very careful and curious about their Seed-corn, that it may not only be clean and pure, but the best and most excellent in its kind, Isa. 28. 25. He easteth in the principal Wheat. If any be more full and weighty than other, that is reserved for Seed. 'Tis usual with Husbandmen to pick and lease their Seed-corn by hand, that they may separate the Cockle and Darnel, and all the lighter and hollow grains from it, wherein they manifest their discretion, for according to the vigour and goodness of the Seed, the fruit and production is like to be.
