the_o plant_n but_o in_o the_o winter_n time_n this_o be_v usual_o to_o be_v see_v for_o the_o most_o part_n even_o so_o the_o time_n in_o the_o which_o the_o godly_a man_n be_v plant_v it_o be_v in_o the_o winter_n time_n that_o be_v the_o time_n of_o sorrow_n and_o sore_a affliction_n not_o in_o the_o summer_n of_o peace_n when_o all_o thing_n outward_o may_v seem_v to_o go_v well_o with_o a_o man_n &_o he_o say_v peace_n peace_n but_o when_o god_n do_v give_v unto_o a_o man_n the_o sight_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o let_v he_o see_v the_o reward_n of_o sin_n even_o eternal_a death_n oh_o 6._o rom._n 6._o when_o a_o man_n sin_n do_v thus_o muster_v themselves_o before_o we_o and_o against_o we_o oh_o this_o winter_n time_n this_o time_n of_o affliction_n and_o sorrow_n now_o be_v the_o season_n of_o the_o remove_n of_o this_o heavenly_a plant_n man._n second_o as_o a_o plant_n be_v remove_v not_o when_o it_o be_v fruitful_a but_o remove_v to_o that_o end_n it_o may_v be_v fruiefull_a so_o fare_v it_o with_o man_n this_o mystical_a tree_n we_o be_v not_o fruitful_a by_o nature_n before_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v plant_v and_o ingraft_v into_o jesus_n christ_n for_o till_o then_o we_o bring_v forth_o nothing_o but_o bitter_a and_o unsavoury_a fruit_n but_o we_o be_v plant_v to_o that_o end_n we_o may_v be_v fruitful_a and_o be_v once_o in_o christ_n we_o shall_v then_o as_o live_a plant_n of_o that_o lively_a stock_n bring_v forth_o fruit_n incontinent_o in_o particular_o this_o plant_v have_v in_o it_o two_o thing_n 1_o pluck_v up_o 2_o set_v down_o the_o pluck_v up_o shadow_n out_o unto_o we_o three_o thing_n in_o the_o conversion_n of_o a_o sinner_n first_o our_o separation_n from_o the_o world_n he_o can_v be_v in_o christ_n that_o have_v his_o root_n still_o in_o the_o earth_n among_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v before_o we_o must_v be_v careful_a that_o we_o walk_v not_o in_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o wicked_a nor_o stand_v in_o the_o way_n of_o sinner_n nor_o sit_v in_o the_o seat_n of_o the_o sconnefull_a they_o be_v as_o so_o many_o noisome_a shrub_n that_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o fret_v the_o tender_a plant_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o annoy_v they_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v be_v remove_v from_o among_o they_o that_o be_v must_v have_v no_o secret_a society_n with_o they_o second_o it_o signify_v our_o deliverance_n from_o the_o power_n of_o original_a sin_n thus_o for_o as_o a_o plant_v once_o remove_v receive_v no_o more_o ivice_n nor_o nourishment_n from_o the_o old_a earth_n from_o which_o it_o be_v remove_v but_o from_o that_o soil_n into_o the_o which_o it_o be_v plant_v so_o fare_v it_o with_o this_o heavenly_a plant_n be_v regenerate_v and_o ingraft_v into_o jesus_n christ_n there_o will_v follow_v such_o a_o change_n of_o will_n affection_n understanding_n and_o the_o like_a faculty_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n that_o whereas_o before_o they_o be_v altogether_o earthly_a carnal_a and_o vain_a so_o now_o they_o mind_n heavenly_a thing_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n 6._o rom._n 6._o that_o be_v that_o old_a sap_n of_o sin_n be_v do_v away_o three_o it_o signify_v a_o christian_a man_n sorrow_n for_o sin_n for_o as_o no_o plant_n can_v be_v remove_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o but_o the_o axe_n and_o other_o instrument_n of_o the_o husbandman_n must_v be_v lay_v unto_o it_o and_o many_o a_o root_n must_v be_v
