The World compared to a Field.

Mat. 13.38. The Field is the World.

Parallels.

THe Field is a broad Place: So is the World.

II. In a Field grows Wheat and Tares, good and evil Seed: So in this World there are good and evil Men, Saints and Sinners, which God would have grow together, like the Wheat and Tares, until the Harvest.

III. What is set or sowed, or comes up naturally in a Field, ripens for Harvest: So the Godly, and the Ungodly, whilst they remain in the common Field of this World, ripen for the spiritual Harvest.

IV. In a Field, Flowers, and other precious Things, oft-times receive much detriment from Enemies, evil Beasts, and many other ways: So the Godly, whilst they remain in this World, receive great Hurt from Satan, wicked Men, and from the Corruptions and Evils of their own Hearts.

V. Part of a Field an Husband-man separates sometimes from the rest, to make a Garden, Orchard, or Vineyard of: So God, the good Husband-man, hath taken a little Part or Parcel of the Sons of Men from the rest, to be a peculiar People to himself.
