None? Haply not so thick with fruits §3as the Vines of Engedi: every Land is not a Canaan, to flow with Milk and Honey. But yet some competent measure, enough to pay the Land-lord rent for the ground it stands on; no, None. If there be none to spare, whereof the owner may make money; yet, Sufficiat ad usum suum, ad esum suum, that he may eat the labours of his own hands; no, None. If the number be not as the Sand, 1yet let there be a Remnant. If there cannot be a whole harvest, yet let there be a Tenth. If not a Tenth, yet let there be some gleanings;2 and that is a woeful scarcity: if the gleanings be not allowed, yet let there be here and there a Fig,3 a Grape, a Berry, on the outmost branches; that the Planter may have a taste: It is too defective,4 when Non florebit ficus, the Tree doth not flourish: but Quando non erit Vua in vitibus,5 non ficus in ficulneis: when there shall not be a Grape on the Vine, nor a Fig on the Tree; this is a ⟨p. 34⟩miserable sterility. Some thing hath some savour, but None is good for nothing. Indeed all Trees are not equally loaden: there is the measure of a hundred, of sixty, of thirty; an Omer, and an Ephah: but the Sacred dews of Heaven, the graces of the Gospel, bless us from having None. I find• none.
