SIR WILLIAM WALLER 93 



Ttvig left ? there is no such care taken for the iveeds, and bushes 

 and brambles that grow abroad. God is careful to preserve the 

 Garden of his Church in all decency and order ; and will not suffer 

 it to be overgrown with errours or prophaness ; but is (like a good 

 Husbandman, if I may say so with all humbleness) ever at work 

 about it ; either weedifig out, what his heavenly hand hath not 

 planted; or if need be, lopping, and cutting off luxuriant branches, 

 that bear notfrnif; or purging those that do bear, that they may 

 bring forth moxQ fruit. — Divine Meditations {Upon the sight of a 

 pleasant Garden).
