interpreter_n abound_v in_o their_o opinion_n concern_v word_n for_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n these_o thorn_n by_o they_o chrysostome_n understand_v idol_n as_o entangle_v and_o pierce_v as_o the_o sharp_a of_o briar_n and_o thorn_n origen_n and_o hierom_n by_o the_o thorn_n understand_v covetousness_n and_o the_o care_n of_o the_o world_n which_o likewise_o be_v scratch_v and_o wound_v

understand_v by_o the_o thorn_n mixture_n of_o worship_n creep_v into_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n among_o the_o jew_n as_o sanctius_n and_o other_o but_o with_o the_o favour_n of_o all_o these_o and_o yet_o with_o submission_n i_o conjecture_v that_o these_o word_n sow_v not_o among_o thorn_n be_v a_o proverbial_a speech_n and_o suggest_v only_o this_o unto_o we_o that_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o break_v down_o what_o be_v evil_a in_o themselves_o and_o the_o church_n and_o state_n so_o they_o be_v to_o set_v upon_o the_o do_n of_o all_o good_a in_o private_a and_o public_a in_o such_o

etc._n etc._n as_o a_o husbandman_n who_o sow_n will_v so_o sow_v that_o he_o may_v reap_v and_o not_o loose_v his_o seed_n and_o labour_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o sow_v among_o thorn_n for_o this_o be_v a_o improper_a work_n and_o will_v prove_v in_o the_o event_n utter_o unprofitable_a it_o be_v a_o thousand_o to_o one_o if_o ever_o his_o seed_n come_v up_o for_o thorn_n have_v a_o

thorn_n have_v a_o hinder_v malignity_n as_o well_o as_o a_o stifle_a power_n from_o this_o exposition_n i_o observe_v only_o this_o proposition_n namely_o doct._n 2_o that_o all_o penitential_a and_o

must_v not_o be_v a_o sow_v among_o thorn_n but_o such_o a_o sow_v which_o may_v in_o the_o issue_n produce_v a_o harvest_n for_o as_o good_a never_o a_o whit_n as_o never_o the_o better_a you_o read_v in_o scripture_n of_o many_o sower_n 1._o the_o evil_a man_n do_v sow_v tare_n we_o have_v have_v of_o sower_n four_o sort_n of_o sower_n late_a many_o such_o sower_n not_o only_o profess_v priest_n and_o jesuit_n but_o some_o also_o among_o ourselves_o who_o have_v sow_v popish_a arminian_n socinian_n and_o superstitious_a tare_n 2._o the_o cunning_a man_n and_o he_o sow_n division_n and_o dissension_n there_o have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v too_o many_o who_o sow_v division_n betwixt_o the_o king_n and_o the_o parliament_n betwixt_o minister_n and_o minister_n betwixt_o minister_n and_o people_n betwixt_o people_n and_o people_n 3._o the_o foolish_a man_n and_o he_o sow_n he_o care_v not_o what_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o seed_n nor_o where_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o soil_n

and_o clean_a and_o to_o the_o soil_n that_o it_o be_v prepare_v and_o right_a and_o to_o the_o season_n that_o it_o be_v fit_a upon_o which_o through_o god_n blessing_n the_o seed_n sow_v take_v root_n prosper_v and_o prove_v a_o harvest_n of_o this_o i_o now_o speak_v in_o the_o proposition_n which_o whither_o you_o limit_v it_o to_o a_o repentance_n that_o be_v personal_a or_o extend_v it_o to_o a_o reformation_n that_o be_v nationall_n hold_v true_a in_o both_o and_o the_o text_n will_v bear_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o must_v be_v so_o disperse_v that_o it_o may_v not_o prove_v vain_a and_o lose_v but_o effectual_a and_o successful_a sir_n though_o penitential_a work_n right_o do_v be_v never_o without_o success_n and_o blessing_n yet_o pretend_o penitential_a agent_n may_v so_o carry_v on_o these_o work_n material_o good_a that_o they_o may_v never_o prove_v formal_o and_o eventual_o good_a or_o beneficial_a and_o therefore_o you_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o many_o praying_n and_o fasting_n and_o solemn_a meeting_n and_o tear_n and_o other_o do_n have_v find_v no_o acceptation_n with_o god_n nor_o wrought_v any_o subjective_a alteration_n in_o

in_o the_o event_n to_o be_v nothing_o but_o only_o a_o sow_v among_o thorn_n 1._o when_o they_o be_v but_o external_a not_o act_v by_o any_o inward_a principle_n the_o effect_n rather_o of_o art_n

only_o external_a will_v do_v ourselves_o and_o the_o nation_n as_o much_o good_a as_o a_o paint_a sword_n as_o a_o paint_a staff_n and_o as_o paint_a fire_n that_o will_v not_o cut_v this_o will_v

put_v down_o of_o some_o sin_n and_o a_o keep_n up_o of_o other_o sin_n will_v be_v as_o vain_a as_o to_o cure_v the_o palsy_n and_o yet_o to_o neglect_v the_o plague_n or_o as_o to_o mend_v the_o
