Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Yea, but many they say, That that we have sown it hath some substance in it, it is not only the wind, for we see that it comes to a blade, it comes forth.
Yea, but saith God here, It shall not bring forth a stalk.
I beseech you observe the words that follow,1 It shall not bring forth a stalk: But it may be a stalk may come forth: I but saith God, It shall be crushed before it comes to the bud. But what if it doth bud, it shall be blasted, it shall not come to the meal. I but what if it come to the meal? Then strangers shall devour it saith God; so it follows, They sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind; it shall not grow to a stalk, or to the bud, or there shall be no meal, or strangers shall devour it. A most elegant expression it is to show Gods watching over an apostatizing people for evil, and to show that in whatsoever they may seem to prosper for a while, yet at the last the Curse of God will be their ruin.
