which_o be_v a_o very_a apt_a similitude_n for_o the_o scripture_n be_v wont_a to_o compare_v we_o to_o a_o field_n when_o it_o call_v we_o the_o lord_n heritage_n and_o therefore_o be_v we_o indeed_o

true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n reap_v no_o benefit_n by_o we_o that_o which_o he_o require_v of_o we_o be_v this_o that_o our_o whole_a life_n may_v be_v refer_v to_o his_o glory_n how_o ever_o it_o

indeed_o that_o be_v they_o seem_v to_o have_v some_o desire_n nay_o more_o than_o that_o they_o love_v to_o have_v it_o know_v that_o they_o be_v replenish_v with_o a_o wonderful_a deal_n of_o zeal_n when_o god_n call_v or_o exhort_v they_o to_o repentance_n they_o keep_v a_o great_a bluster_a then_o but_o they_o mar_v and_o corrupt_v all_o by_o their_o mixture_n even_o as_o if_o one_o shall_v sow_v his_o seed_n among_o thorn_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o seed_n thus_o sow_v among_o thorn_n never_o come_v to_o good_a unless_o the_o ground_n be_v first_o well_o husband_v and_o till_v god_n then_o deride_v such_o a_o fond_a diligence_n whereabout_o hypocrite_n busy_a themselves_o so_o much_o when_o he_o tell_v they_o they_o do_v but_o labour_v in_o vain_a because_o it_o be_v all_o

there_o shall_v come_v up_o yet_o will_v it_o never_o bear_v any_o fruit_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v have_v the_o israelite_n to_o plough_v up_o their_o fallow_a ground_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o resemble_v a_o field_n full_a of_o thorn_n and_o brier_n and_o therefore_o you_o have_v need_v to_o be_v plough_v up_o not_o after_o a_o ordinary_a manner_n for_o where_o a_o field_n be_v overgrow_v with_o these_o bramble_n what_o will_v it_o avail_v a_o man_n if_o he_o shall_v sow_v never_o so_o much_o grain_n there_o neither_o indeed_o will_v the_o plough_n be_v sufficient_a to_o till_o such_o a_o piece_n of_o ground_n to_o any_o purpose_n but_o of_o necessity_n some_o cost_n must_v first_o be_v bestow_v upon_o the_o same_o by_o some_o other_o mean_n namely_o the_o thorn_n must_v be_v stub_a up_o the_o prophet_n signify_v then_o that_o the_o people_n be_v grow_v harden_v in_o their_o iniquity_n so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o only_o full_a of_o many_o vice_n as_o if_o a_o piece_n of_o ground_n have_v lie_v some_o two_o or_o three_o year_n fallow_a but_o there_o be_v inward_a and_o more_o privy_a sin_n which_o lurk_v in_o they_o which_o the_o plough_n can_v not_o well_o get_v out_o unless_o pain_n be_v take_v before_o in_o stub_v they_o up_o by_o the_o root_n even_o as_o when_o thorn_n brier_n and_o bramble_n have_v for_o many_o year_n together_o take_v root_n in_o a_o field_n we_o see_v now_o then_o how_o the_o prophet_n not_o only_o mean_v to_o show_v that_o there_o harbour_v in_o this_o people_n of_o israel_n some_o impiety_n as_o the_o contempt_n of_o god_n and_o other_o enormity_n but_o they_o be_v grow_v obstinate_a therein_o because_o for_o a_o long_a time_n they_o have_v take_v deep_a root_n in_o their_o sin_n so_o as_o there_o be_v not_o only_o need_v of_o a_o plough_n but_o of_o other_o instrument_n and_o tool_n to_o stubbe_n up_o these_o thorn_n which_o have_v take_v so_o deep_a root_n in_o they_o as_o before_o then_o

because_o of_o the_o wickedness_n of_o your_o work_n the_o prophet_n here_o more_o plain_o express_v that_o which_o before_o he_o deliver_v under_o a_o metaphor_n or_o borrow_a speech_n for_o he_o
