1The Palm-Trees Branches grow all upward; there's none grow out of the side, as other Trees.
The Righteous, their affections are set upon things above; they grow up Heaven-ward.
They do not shoot out their Branches this way, or that way, to the World.
The Palm-Tree is always green; green in Winter as well as Summer: It doth not cast its Leaf nor fade.
The Righteous hold-up their Profession in Summers Prosperity, and in the very Winter of Adversity.
