As it gives boughs spaciously, so fruit pregnantly, plentifully. The graces of God hang upon this tree in clusters. tMy beloved is unto me as a cluster of Camphire in the Vineyards of Engedi. No hungry soul shall go away from this tree unsatisfied.

It is an effectual word, never failing of intended success. What Gods word affirms, his truth performs, whither it be judgement or mercie. uNec verbum ab intentione quia veritas, nec factum à verbo quia virtus. His word differs not from his intent, because he is truth: nor his deed from his word, because he is virtue. What he intends he declares, or rather what ⟨p. 276⟩he declares he intends, he is just: and what he declares and intends, he performs; he is powerful. This is that Delphian sword, that universal instrument, whereby he made, 2whereby he supports the world. It is not a fruitless and ineffectual word, as mans. Propter nostrum dicere et velle, nihil in re mutatur, saith the Philosopher. Our speaking or willing puts no change into any subject. A man is starved with cold, famished with hunger; we advise him to the fire, to repast: is he ever the fuller or fatter for our word? Not, unless like a Chameleon, he can live by air. But Gods word is fruitful, it feeds.
