Fifthly, If it be not fruitful, it is the most unprofitablest thing in the world.1 I suppose you know that place in Ezek. 15. 2. What is the Vine-tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the Forrest? Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work, or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? Behold, it shall be cast into the fire for fuel; It ⟨p. 302⟩is not meet for any work, the Vine is meet for nothing, not to make a pin if it be not fruitful. And no people in the world are so unprofitable as Professors of Religion if they bring not forth the fruit of godliness, and the world may be rid of them better than any people else if they bring not forth their fruit unto God.
