Whereof take these two remarkable instances of many that might be given.
[The Plenty of a Countrey destroyed by Magick.] The Countrey of Neurecalava formerly brought forth great plenty of Corn, occasioned by reason of its large waterings.

A Neighbour Kingdom, the Kingdom of Cournegal which lyes in Hotcourley, in those times was brought to a great dearth.

At which the King sends to the People of Neurecalava, that they would bring a supply of Corn to his Countrey, which they did in great store upon Beasts in Sacks, and arrived at the King's City: and there for the more expeditious measuring out every Housholder his proportion of Corn, they made a hole in the Sacks, and let it run out, still driving on the Beasts before them: and all that was shed before every man's House, was to be his share.

This exceedingly gratified the King.
Afterward the King to requite them, asked what they most needed in their Countrey?
They answered, They had plenty of all things only they wanted Cahah mirris, that is Turmeric and Pepper.

The King to gratifie them sent them such a quantity of each as his Country could afford.
