The barren fig tree, or, The doom and downfall of the fruitless professor showing that the day of grace may be past with him long before his life is ended : the signs also by which such miserable mortals may be known / by John Bunyan ; to which is added his Exhortation to peace and unity among all that fear God.The barren fig tree, or, The doom and downfall of the fruitless professor shewing that the day of grace may be past with him long before his life is ended : the signs also by which such miserable mortals may be known / by John Bunyan ; to which is added his Exhortation to peace and unity among all that fear God.

The Sacrifice of the People in the 65th of Isaiah, that said▪ Stand farther off, I am holier than thou, was as Smoke in the Nostrils of the Lord. On the other hand we read how acceptable those ⟨p. 43⟩Prayers were that were made with one accord, Acts 4. 24. compared with verse 31. they prayed with one accord, and they were all of one Heart, and of one Soul: and see the benefit of it, they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and spoke the Word with all boldness: Which was the very thing they prayed for, as appears vers. 29. And the Apostle exhorts the Husband to dwell with his Wife, that their Prayers might not be hindered, 1 Pet. 3. 7. We see then, want of Unity and Peace, either in Families or Churches, is a hindrance of Prayers.
