now
the
íiorme
will
difcover
what
leaves
are withered,
and
what
leaves have fapp and
wife
from
the
root
of
the
tree
hang
heavy
things upon
a
rötten'bough, and it
will
b
w
and
breke,
but
it
will
be dticovered whether the
bough be found
or
no if
it
will
bear
a
great weight
when its hung
upon.
So
when
per
feeution comes,
there is
a
difcovery,
of
who
are found, and
who
are
not
:
When'godlinefle
and mens own ends do parr one
f

then
you
may
difcover what men
did aimeat

As
thus, when
a
ferving
mm
follows
two
gentle-
men in
the
flreet,
you
cannot
tell
which mans
fervant this is,
but now,
do but
flay
till
thefe come at
a
parting
way,
and
then
you
shall
find
that the
ferving man leaves
one and 'follows
the
other
that
is
his
Mailer ;
So
there
are fonte
that feem to
follow
Chrifi, but they follow
their
own
ends
to
;.
now
fo
long as
Chrifi
and
their
own
ends go
together,
fo
long,
no
can
tell
whether
it
be Chrifi they follow,
or their
own
ends,
but
when
Chrifi
and
their
own
ends part
one
from another,
then
you will knowwhole
fervant this
is, then
you
will
know
what
the
ale
&ions of
their hearts are,
now
the
Lord
loth
take
a
great deale
of
delight
in difcovering
the
hearts
of
men
here
in
this

Fourthly, That the Lord

is
to

not

for
the
excellency

the knowledge of
Chrifi, thathe might be

that
he
might

:
who
would
not be conformable

?
but
to

; It's
