And gather his wheat into the garner]

Mali in area nobiscum esse possunt, in horreo non possunt. The wicked may be with us in the floor, they shall not, in the garner: for there shall in no wise 〈◊〉〈◊〉 into the City of the lamb, any thing that defileth, or that* 1.1

worketh abomination; Heaven spewed out the Angels in the first* 1.2 act of their Apostacy; and albeit the devil could scrue himself into* 1.3 Paradise, yet no unclean person shall ever enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Without shall be doggs, and evil-doers; no dirty dogge* 1.4 doth trample on that golden pavement, no 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is with that gold, no chaff with that wheat; but the spirits of just men made perfect, amidst a panegynis of Angels, and that glorious 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Heb. 12. 22.

It doth the husbandman good at heart to see his corn come forward,* 1.7 though the harvest be not yet.
