And for this purpose hath he proposed unto us an untilled land, a vineyard, a triple enemy to fight against: that we might remember, that we must till the ground, if we will reap the fruit: that we must prune ⟨image 33⟩the vine, if we will drink of the grape: that we must fight, if we will overcome. He that tilleth the Land, (saith 1the wise man) shall be satisfied with bread, but he that followeth idleness, shall be filled with poverty. Idleness is a moth or canker of the mind, and the fruits thereof are wicked cogitations, evil affections, and worse actions: 2corrupt trees without fruit, twice dead, and plucked up by the roots, engendering in the mind, a loathing of God and godliness.
And for this purpose hath hee proposed vnto vs an vntilled lande, a vineyarde, a triple enemie to fight against: that wee might remember, that wee must till the ground, if wee will reape the fruite: that wee must prune ⟨image 33⟩the vine, if wee will drinke of the grape: that wee must fight, if wee will ouercome. Hee that tilleth the Land, (sayth 1the wiseman) shall be satisfied with bread, but hee that followeth idlenesse, shall bee filled with pouertie. Idlenesse is a moth or canker of the minde, and the fruites thereof are wicked cogitations, euill affections, and worse actions: 2corrupt trees without fruit, twise dead, and pluckt vp by the rootes, engendring in the minde, a loathing of God and godlinesse.
