VERS. I.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

Who had a steward.

THIS Parable seems to have relation to the custom of letting out grounds, which we find discoursed of: a 1.1 where it is supposed a ground is let by its owner, to some tenant upon this condition, that he pay half, or one third or fourth part of the products of the ground, according as is agreed betwixt them as to the proportion and quan∣tity. So also he supposes an Olive-yard let out upon such kind of conditions. And there it is disputed about the payment of the Tithes, in what manner it should be com∣pounded between the owner and him that occupies the ground.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 with Kimchi is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Pakidh. b 1.2 where he hath a Parable not much unlike this. The world (saith he) is like unto an house built, the Heaven is the covering of the house. The Stars are the Candles in the house. The fruits of the Earth are like a table spread in the house. The owner of the house, and he indeed that built it, is the holy blessed God. Man in the world is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 as it were the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, steward of the house into whose hands his Lord hath delivered all his riches—If he behave himself well, he will find fa∣vour in the eyes of his Lord, if ill 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 be will remove him from his stewardship.
