The Naturalist Observes,1 that these Trees flourish near about the same time, and that the Vine and the Olive join, and are (as it were) spoused together; and if storms, or blasts of wind smite the Olive and the Vine, while they put forth their flowers, the hope of the Husbandman is utterly disappointed, We may sum up the meaning of these two similitudes into this brief conclusion.

That God will utterly destroy the very appearing hopes of wicked men. Their boughs and branches may be green, some flowers, some unripe Grapes may appear; here is hope; but, He shall shake off; that is, God shall shake off (by some terrible storm which he will raise, by some sudden judgement which he will send) their unripe Grapes, and their fairest Flowers.
