The similitude is this. The seed is the word1 of God. Those that are beside the way / are they that hear / & afterward cometh the devil & taketh away the word out of their hearts / lest they should believe and be saved. They on the stones / are they which when they hear / receive the word with joy. But these have no roots / which for a while believe / & in time of temptation goo away. And that which fell among thorns / are they which hear / & goo forth / & are choked with cares & with riches / & voluptuous living / and bring forth no fruit. ⟨image 107⟩That in y• good ground / are they which with2 a good & pure heart / hear the word & keep it / 3and bring forth fruit with patience. ⊢
