Pal. 18. I5, and 39. 11. and 80.17. 1/a, 51.20. and 66. 15. Exch. 5. 15.and 25. 17.

r Either 1. thy rain ſhall be as unprofittble to thy ground and ſeed as if it were only ſo much duſt. Or 2. In ſtead of rain ſha:l come nothing but duſt from heaven, which being raiſed and carri- ed up by the wind in great abundance, doth return and tal! upon
the earth as it were in clouds or ſhowrs. 5 To wit, by famine fol- lowing theſe great droughts.
