And secondly,1 It will come up in the same kind; the seeds of Tares will not come up to Wheat; but it will be a Tare; and so the Wheat a Wheat: all our actions will come up in the same kind. Men neglect their actions, and think that when they have done, it's over, they forget what they did yesterday or the day before; but though you may forget it, yet it will come up in the same kind, though you think not of it:2 I remember Pliny reports of some parts in Africa, that when they sow their seeds, they go away and never look after it for many months together: So •t is in many men they sow but they never mind what they have done, and quite forget what they have done till they must come to reap. But certainly thy actions there they lie and will grow up to something.
