When the dead tree is carried out of the Orchard, the §6Husbandman cuts off his branches, and rives him asunder with his wedges. This also is the lot of barren Professors. The Lord of that servant will come in a day, when he looketh not for him, and will cut him asunder; he shall be dissected, or cut abroad, Luke 12. 46.

Now therefore consider this, ye that forget God, le•t I tear (or rend) you in pieces, Psal. 50. 22. O direful day! when the same hand which planted, pruned, and watered thee so long, and so tenderly, shall now strike mortal strokes at thee, and that without pity: For be that made them will not have mercy on them, and be that formed them will show them no favour, I•a. 27. 11. For the day of mercy is over, and the day of his wrath is fully come.
