Thirdly, No plant requires so great care as the Vine; What a deal of do is there in dressing the Vine and underpropping of it, and pruning of it, looking to it continually? and the Lord hath the greatest care of his people, of his Church: himself accounts it no dishonour to be the Husbandman, as he is said to be in John 15. and in Isa. 27. 3. you have a most admirable expression of Gods taking care of his Church, as his Vine. I the Lord do keep it: I will water it every moment, lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. I will keep it and I will water it, and every moment lest any hurt it, I will keep it (again) night and day. And this is the Vineyard that he speaks of in the beginning of ⟨p. 301⟩this Chapter, and it was the Vineyard that brought out red Wine, the best sort of Wine. Those that bring forth the best sort of Wine shall have the best of Gods care and charge and protection over them.
