in_o this_o verse_n and_o the_o rest_n there_o be_v 4._o sort_n of_o ground_n mention_v christ_n show_v that_o by_o they_o he_o mean_v 4._o sort_n of_o hearer_n some_o good_a some_o bad_a before_o we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o they_o several_o and_o particular_o we_o may_v note_v one_o thing_n in_o general_a from_o they_o all_o that_o as_o the_o same_o seed_n sow_v in_o diverse_a kind_n of_o ground_n do_v not_o fructify_v in_o all_o alike_o in_o some_o it_o yield_v little_a or_o no_o fruit_n at_o all_o in_o some_o both_o good_a and_o plentiful_a fruit_n so_o the_o same_o doctrine_n teach_v to_o diverse_a people_n do_v not_o profit_n all_o alike_o it_o may_v profit_v some_o nothing_o at_o all_o other_o very_o much_o though_o seed_n be_v never_o so_o good_a yet_o badness_n of_o ground_n may_v spoil_v it_o and_o cause_v the_o sour_a to_o lose_v both_o labour_n and_o cost_n even_o so_o though_o the_o doctrine_n we_o teach_v be_v never_o so_o good_a and_o profitable_a yet_o through_o the_o ill_a disposition_n of_o the_o hearer_n it_o may_v become_v unfruitful_a this_o seed_n do_v fructify_v or_o not_o fructify_v according_a to_o the_o quality_n &_o disposition_n of_o the_o ground_n into_o which_o it_o be_v cast_v if_o the_o ground_n be_v bad_a the_o seed_n perish_v if_o the_o ground_n be_v good_a it_o increase_v and_o because_o some_o man_n heart_n be_v as_o a_o barren_a ground_n and_o other_o man_n heart_n be_v as_o a_o fertile_a soil_n in_o some_o it_o yield_v no_o fruit_n at_o all_o in_o some_o it_o yield_v great_a abundance_n this_o difference_n may_v by_o see_v in_o each_o mix_a company_n and_o populous_a congregation_n to_o which_o we_o preach_v it_o be_v find_v among_o christ_n hearer_n it_o be_v find_v among_o the_o apostle_n hearer_n and_o may_v also_o be_v find_v among_o we_o the_o consideration_n whereof_o serve_v for_o the_o instruction_n both_o of_o preacher_n &_o people_n 1._o of_o preacher_n to_o comfort_v they_o and_o to_o encourage_v they_o in_o their_o labour_n when_o they_o see_v they_o unprofitable_a unto_o a_o great_a number_n christ_n speak_v this_o parable_n especial_o of_o himself_o and_o of_o his_o hearer_n he_o teach_v the_o true_a word_n of_o god_n &_o in_o the_o best_a manner_n that_o may_v be_v yet_o do_v he_o not_o profit_v all_o his_o hearer_n he_o have_v 4._o sort_n whereof_o three_o be_v unprofitable_a one_o only_o be_v profitable_a the_o disciple_n must_v not_o be_v better_o than_o his_o master_n if_o he_o be_v no_o worse_o let_v he_o be_v well_o content_a it_o do_v not_o a_o little_a grieve_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o take_v great_a pain_n in_o teach_v the_o truth_n and_o that_o in_o a_o good_a manner_n and_o yet_o see_v most_o of_o their_o hearer_n to_o receive_v little_a or_o no_o profit_n at_o all_o but_o still_o remain_v after_o many_o year_n teach_v as_o ignorant_a as_o 45._o popish_a and_o profane_a as_o they_o be_v at_o the_o first_o yet_o let_v they_o not_o be_v dismay_v it_o be_v christ_n own_o case_n the_o fault_n be_v in_o the_o hearer_n not_o in_o the_o teacher_n god_n will_v reward_v thou_o for_o thy_o painful_a preach_n though_o few_o do_v profit_n by_o it_o let_v not_o their_o fault_n hinder_v we_o in_o our_o duty_n but_o let_v we_o instruct_v with_o meekness_n they_o that_o be_v 25._o contrary_a mind_v prove_v if_o any_o time_n god_n will_v give_v they_o repentance_n they_o who_o be_v unprofitable_a hearer_n now_o may_v prove_v profitable_a hereafter_o till_o the_o time_n of_o bear_v fruit_n do_v come_v we_o know_v not_o which_o will_v prove_v good_a ground_n which_o will_v prove_v bad_a 2._o this_o also_o serve_v for_o the_o instruction_n of_o hearer_n see_v that_o these_o 3._o kind_n of_o bad_a ground_n do_v paint_v out_o 3._o sort_n of_o bad_a hearer_n who_o never_o receive_v profit_n to_o their_o soul_n by_o the_o word_n which_o they_o hear_v you_o must_v know_v that_o you_o may_v be_v receiver_n of_o this_o heavenly_a seed_n you_o may_v be_v hearer_n of_o god_n most_o holy_a word_n and_o yet_o be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o it_o never_o come_v to_o heaven_n by_o it_o three_o part_n of_o

teach_v in_o our_o street_n but_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o know_v you_o not_o depart_v from_o i_o all_o you_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n and_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o be_v 16._o to_o some_o the_o

hear_v unprofitable_o stall_n be_v damn_v and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n afterward_o exhort_v you_o in_o this_o chapter_n take_v heed_n how_o you_o hear_v as_o many_o seek_v 18._o and_o find_v not_o

profit_v not_o because_o they_o hear_v amiss_o some_o imagine_v that_o if_o they_o be_v no_o recusant_n if_o they_o be_v no_o profane_a contemner_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n but_o repair_v to_o the_o church_n every_o sabbath_n day_n &_o hear_v divine_a service_n &_o sermon_n orderly_o as_o by_o law_n they_o be_v enjoin_v they_o be_v good_a christian_n &_o sure_a to_o be_v save_v but_o let_v they_o know_v that_o they_o may_v do_v all_o these_o thing_n &_o yet_o not_o be_v save_v they_o may_v offend_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o hear_n and_o then_o their_o case_n will_v be_v no_o better_o than_o if_o they_o hear_v not_o at_o all_o the_o devil_n be_v very_o subtle_a and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o his_o subtlety_n whereby_o he_o deceive_v many_o people_n to_o their_o

powerful_a in_o they_o but_o if_o he_o can_v keep_v they_o back_o from_o hear_v he_o deceive_v they_o with_o this_o conceit_n that_o any_o kind_n of_o formal_a hear_n will_v serve_v their_o turn_n but_o do_v not_o herein_o believe_v the_o father_n of_o lie_n believe_v christ_n who_o be_v the_o way_n the_o life_n and_o the_o truth_n he_o tell_v you_o that_o there_o be_v 3._o sort_n of_o hearer_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v only_o one_o sort_n among_o 4._o shall_v be_v save_v and_o therefore_o examine_v yourselves_o what_o kind_n of_o hearer_n you_o be_v and_o do_v not_o cortent_n

which_o receive_v the_o seed_n on_o the_o highway_n some_o hearer_n be_v compare_v to_o such_o ground_n you_o know_v that_o if_o land_n lie_v by_o the_o highway_n side_n or_o a_o highway_n lie_v

for_o many_o carnal_a pleasure_n consist_v in_o the_o use_n of_o unlawful_a thing_n and_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o some_o sin_n now_o if_o a_o man_n heart_n be_v set_v on_o pleasure_n then_o to_o
