Ministers compared to Planters.
1 Cor. 3.6. I have planted, and Apollo watered, &c. Verse 8. Now he that planteth, and he that watereth, are one.
GOD is the chief spiritual Planter, Isa. 5.7. & 60.21. & 61.3. Mat. 15.13. None but he can implant a Principle of Grace in the Sinner's Heart; 'tis his proper Work to take us out of the old Stock and Root, and plant us into the new.

Jehovah.
