Fruit. This is that inseparable effect that God expects from every Tree planted in his Garden.1 We are married to Christ: to what end? That we should bring forth fruits unto God. He seeks not for leaves, buds, or blossoms, but fruits. Could leaves content him, we would not leave him unsatisfied: he should have an Arbour large enough to reach to the Worlds end. 2Our tongues run apace, not seldom faster then our wits. We are Gods debtors, and if he will take our words, so: that's all he is like to have. Might buds please him, or blossoms: we have intentions to good, certain offers and shows of obedience: which we wear like a cloak, or some loose garment, that when Lust calls, we may quickly slip off. But when he seeks for works, all our Consonants be turned into Mutes, we are speechless. O would he ask us for any thing but fruits:3 but what should be expected from the Figtree, but Figs?
