Luk. XIII. 9. If it bear Fruit, well; And if not, then after That, thou shalt cut it down.
A Day of Patience for one Year more is then obtained for a Barren Fig-tree. After the utmost Hazard of Destruction, for a Barrenness of Three Years, an Intercession is made, for one year more, to be allowed. It was begged, Lord, Let it alone this Year also: that so a further Cultivation might be employed for the Cure of the offensive Barrenness. But, Behold the Consequence to be expected of the Grant thus made for Thu Year also. A Thing highly worthy to be deeply considered by us; To be so at all times; But very particularly so, on a Day, when we see the first Day of a New Year granted unto us.
