dresser_n of_o it_o christ_n jesus_n who_o have_v such_o great_a help_n and_o assistance_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o holiness_n and_o consequent_o such_o full_a assurance_n of_o hope_n 6.11_o heb._n 6.11_o that_o the_o end_n will_v be_v everlasting_a life_n let_v they_o give_v thanks_o from_o the_o bottom_n of_o their_o heart_n who_o the_o lord_n have_v thus_o redeem_a and_o deliver_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o infernal_a enemy_n and_o be_v tell_v of_o his_o salvation_n from_o day_n to_o day_n and_o let_v we_o of_o these_o happy_a island_n in_o the_o first_o place_n magnify_v he_o for_o this_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n for_o none_o have_v have_v a_o great_a share_n of_o it_o than_o we_o none_o better_o plant_v nor_o better_a cultivate_v than_o the_o member_n of_o this_o church_n of_o england_n and_o which_o do_v much_o advance_v the_o blessing_n none_o be_v in_o a_o more_o sad_a and_o deplorable_a condition_n than_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o these_o island_n before_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o gospel_n and_o indeed_o what_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v of_o god_n deal_n with_o the_o jewish_a church_n which_o be_v then_o his_o vineyard_n 5.4_o isa_n 5.4_o may_v be_v very_o true_o say_v of_o his_o gracious_a deal_v with_o this_o our_o church_n what_o can_v have_v be_v do_v more_o to_o his_o vineyard_n that_o he_o have_v not_o do_v in_o it_o he_o have_v plant_v it_o in_o a_o very_a fruitful_a hill_n and_o fence_v it_o by_o his_o providence_n from_o the_o incursion_n of_o its_o enemy_n and_o gather_v out_o the_o stone_n thereof_o purge_v it_o from_o scandalous_a heresy_n and_o superstition_n which_o be_v stone_n of_o stumble_v and_o rock_n of_o offence_n and_o build_v a_o tower_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o it_o guarded_z it_o with_o the_o civil_a power_n make_v king_n its_o nurse_n father_n and_o queen_n its_o nurse_n mother_n and_o make_v a_o wine-press_n in_o it_o furnish_v it_o with_o all_o necessary_n of_o holy_a instruction_n and_o the_o service_n of_o a_o excellent_a ministry_n to_o enforce_v the_o great_a truth_n of_o religion_n and_o lay_v all_o the_o beauty_n and_o excellency_n of_o it_o before_o the_o people_n and_o now_o what_o can_v have_v be_v do_v more_o for_o this_o church_n than_o the_o lord_n have_v already_o do_v for_o it_o and_o what_o a_o inestimable_a happiness_n be_v it_o that_o we_o enjoy_v who_o be_v bear_v in_o this_o church_n early_o consecrate_a to_o god_n in_o baptism_n and_o thereby_o plant_v in_o this_o vineyard_n and_o say_v with_o the_o sincere_a and_o unmixed_a milk_n of_o the_o word_n plain_o and_o without_o reserve_n or_o the_o cunning_a craftiness_n of_o man_n that_o lie_v in_o wait_n to_o deceive_v we_o be_v invite_v to_o a_o frequent_a and_o entire_a reception_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n that_o great_a conveyance_n of_o the_o divine_a grace_n and_o aid_n and_o have_v as_o many_o and_o as_o move_a exhortation_n to_o live_v up_o to_o our_o holy_a profession_n as_o be_v enjoy_v by_o any_o part_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n what_o a_o inestimable_a happiness_n be_v this_o and_o what_o great_a reason_n have_v we_o as_o to_o bless_v god_n for_o this_o his_o unspeakable_a goodness_n to_o we_o so_o to_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n in_o great_a abundance_n it_o be_v but_o just_a and_o right_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o and_o god_n expect_v it_o from_o all_o that_o be_v plant_v in_o his_o vineyard_n much_o more_o from_o such_o as_o have_v have_v extraordinary_a care_n and_o cultivation_n bestow_v upon_o they_o as_o we_o have_v have_v for_o so_o in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o find_v in_o this_o parable_n that_o the_o owner_n of_o the_o vineyard_n come_v to_o the_o figtree_n he_o have_v plant_v in_o it_o expect_v fruit_n from_o it_o the_o fruit_n that_o god_n expect_v from_o christian_n that_o have_v enjoy_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n and_o spiritual_a improvement_n be_v that_o which_o be_v call_v fruit_n meet_v for_o repentance_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n fruit_n meet_v for_o repentance_n be_v the_o advances_n to_o a_o new_a and_o spiritual_a life_n such_o as_o shall_v demonstrate_v a_o sincere_a renovation_n and_o change_n of_o mind_n a_o turn_v from_o a_o course_n of_o rebellion_n against_o god_n and_o hatred_n of_o he_o to_o entire_a obedience_n to_o he_o and_o hearty_a love_n but_o he_o that_o to_o the_o profession_n of_o christianity_n add_v debauchery_n of_o manner_n and_o instead_o of_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n such_o as_o love_n joy_n peace_n long-suffering_a gentleness_n goodness_n faith_n meekness_n temperance_n and_o such_o like_a drudge_n in_o the_o work_v of_o the_o flesh_n such_o as_o adultery_n

this_o their_o barrenness_n be_v as_o it_o be_v pluck_v up_o by_o the_o root_n and_o to_o who_o be_v reserve_v the_o blackness_n of_o darkness_n for_o ever_o and_o who_o end_n be_v to_o be_v burn_v when_o our_o lord_n as_o he_o be_v return_v from_o bethany_n to_o jerusalem_n see_v a_o figtree_n at_o a_o distance_n very_o promise_v and_o full_a of_o leave_n and_o go_v to_o it_o expect_v to_o find_v fruit_n upon_o it_o but_o find_v nothing_o thereon_o but_o leave_v only_o curse_v it_o and_o say_v unto_o it_o let_v no_o fruit_n grow_v on_o thou_o henceforward_o for_o ever_o he_o plain_o enough_o tell_v the_o world_n that_o the_o profession_n of_o christianity_n must_v always_o be_v attend_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o piety_n that_o he_o expect_v to_o find_v it_o so_o and_o will_v severe_o punish_v where_o he_o find_v it_o otherwise_o the_o leave_n of_o a_o figtree_n be_v broad_a and_o strong_a and_o hang_v thick_a and_o be_v of_o a_o lovely_a colour_n and_o therefore_o very_o apt_a to_o represent_v the_o profession_n of_o christianity_n which_o make_v the_o fair_a appearance_n of_o any_o religion_n that_o be_v ever_o teach_v the_o world_n and_o the_o title_n of_o a_o christian_a do_v include_v all_o that_o can_v be_v suppose_v excellent_a and_o good_a in_o a_o man._n but_o as_o the_o figtree_n beside_o flourish_a leave_n bear_v a_o delicious_a fruit_n and_o have_v always_o upon_o it_o fruit_n come_v to_o maturity_n so_o christianity_n must_v not_o be_v all_o show_n and_o profession_n but_o the_o fruit_n of_o holiness_n must_v appear_v as_o well_o as_o the_o leave_n of_o fair_a speech_n and_o the_o outward_a performance_n of_o some_o of_o the_o more_o customary_a and_o public_a duty_n of_o it_o and_o as_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o figtree_n there_o must_v always_o be_v some_o fruit_n grow_v to_o ripeness_n and_o perfection_n god_n expect_v to_o find_v it_o so_o and_o where_o he_o be_v disappoint_v the_o fate_n of_o the_o barren_a figtree_n will_v be_v their_o portion_n we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o too_o apt_a with_o our_o first_o parent_n to_o cover_v our_o spiritual_a nakedness_n with_o figleaf_n and_o by_o tack_v together_o a_o few_o external_n observance_n of_o religion_n think_v to_o hide_v our_o shame_n and_o pass_v for_o good_a servant_n and_o disciple_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o this_o be_v too_o thin_a a_o cover_n to_o conceal_v
