Seeking. It is fit we should offer our fruits to God, and not put him to seek for his own. We should be like those ripe-figs, 1that fall into the mouth of the eater. The best liquors are they that drop from their cells, of their own accord, without pressing. The most acceptable of all oblations, be the Free-will-offerings. Howsoever, let us be sure not to disappoint the Lord when he seeks.

On this Fig-tree. It is fit, that he that plants a Vineyard, should taste of the Wine: good reason, 1his own tree should yield him some fruit, considering what he hath done for it he may well challenge it.
