The Husbandman when he hath cut off grafts, or tender §4buds, makes all the convenient speed he can to close them with the stock; the sooner that's done, the better; they get no good by remaining as they are. And truly it concerns the servants of the Lord, who are employed in this work, of ⟨p. 182⟩engrafting souls into Christ, to make all the haste they can, to bring the convicted sinner to a closure with Christ. As soon as ever the trembling Jailer cried out, What shall I do to be saved? Paul and Silas immediately direct him to Christ, Act. 16. 30, 31. They do not say, it's too soon for thee to act faith on Christ, thou art not yet humbled enough, but believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.

There must be an incision made in the stock before any bud can be inoculated, or the stock must be cut and cleaved, before the cyence can be engrafted according to that in the Poet. Venerit insitio, fac ramum ramus adoptet. (i. e.) To grafts, no living sap the stocks impart; Unless you wound, and cut them near the heart.
