Secondly, the barren Fig-tree is of all most §10miserable, and so much the more, as it is barren in the Vineyard.1 The Vine fruitless, is of all trees most useless. It is compared to ⟨p. 54⟩man,2 Uxor tua sicut vitis: to the best man, I am the true vine: it cheers the heart of God and man. But if barren it is good for nothing, not so much as to make a pin to hang a hat on. Oaks and Cedars are good for building, Poplars for Pales, very bushes for hedging, doted wood for firing: but the fruitless Vine is good for nothing.3 Salt keeps other things from putrefying, but if it self be putrefied, what shall season it? A sweet Singer delights us all; but Quis medebitur cantatori a Serpent percusso? If a Serpent hath stung him, who shall recover his voice? If the eye be blind, what shall look to the eye?
