THis may teach the Church and People of God to take heed they answer the Pains and Cost God hath been at with them. It is not a little, but much Fruit that God expects from us; and not only Grapes, but good Grapes, sweet Grapes, viz. Fruits of Righteousness.

II. And let all the Plants in this spiritual Vineyard see to it, that they are Plants of God's own planting; for if they are not, they shall be plucked up.

III. And let those that his own Right-hand hath planted, see also that they be well rooted. 1. A Tree not well rooted bears but little Fruit. 2. A Tree not well rooted is subject to be shaken and blown down. 3. A Tree not well rooted is in danger of being pluck'd up.

1. Labour to be rooted in all the Essentials of true Religion.

2. And in all the Principles of Instituted Worship.

3. And in all the Graces of the holy Spirit, in Faith, Love, &c.

IV. It may also be of use to encourage and comfort the Church of God, whilst it remains fruitful to him. How safe and secure is that Vineyard, that God hath so gloriously walled in on every side! In vain are all the Strivings and Strength of bloody Rome: if God openeth not the Door for them, they can never prevail against us.

5. It also may be for Reproof to loose and slothful Professors; O what Danger do their Sins expose God's Church to!
