1. A Garner is prepared on purpose to retain, and safely 1to secure the Wheat in a heap together, where it is carefully to be looked after. So is the Church of God appointed and ⟨p. 30⟩prepared to receive and secure his faithful People together; 'tis not built for Chaff nor Tares, and great care and pains is required of Christs servants in looking to, and taking care of his Spiritual Wheat in his Church.

Yet through the Negligence or want of Wisdom in the Servants, oft-times some Chaff is brought into the Garner with the Wheat, which when the Husbandman see's it, by viewing his Grain, he is Troubled at his servant; see (saith he) what abundance of Chaff you have brought in with the Wheat, which spoils the beauty of it to such a degree, that it does not seem to be near so good as indeed it is.
