And he will not always bear with a frustration. A good Husbandman will suffer Thorns and other barren Trees to grow in the Field. But if a Vine or Fig-tree be barren in his Garden, he will cut it down and cast it into the Fire. However God will not always continue this Husbandry, Isa. 28. Amos 6. 12.

Duties of Gospel Obedience are Fruits meet for God, things that have a proper and 1especial tendency unto his Glory. As the precious Fruits of the Earth which the Husbandman waiteth for, are meet for his use, that is, such as supply his wants, satisfy his occasions, answer his labour and charge, nourish and enrich him; So do these Duties of Gospel Obedience, answer all the Ends of Gods Glory which he hath designed unto it in the world. Hereby, saith our Saviour, is my Father glorified, if ye bring forth much Fruit.
