Again when the Husbandman is in his barren ground, there he learns the danger of unfruitfulness. For saith the Scripture, Heb. 6.8. that which beareth thorns and briars is rejected, and nigh unto cursing, whose end is to be burned. Do I turn that ground to Commons, that will bring neither Corn nor Grass after all 1my cost? What then will become of me if I be unfruitful? Is it intolerable in the ground, and is it not much more in earth refined? A wake my barren heart and fall to work. I'll ghome and mend my pace, & bring forth fruitso meet for repentance, lest while I seem blessed on earth, I prove to be accursed from Heaven. And thus the barren ground reads a fruitful lecture to the observing Husbandman.
