SIR WILLIAM WALLER 93 



Twig left ? there is no such care taken for the weeds> 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 weeding out, what his heavenly hand hath not 

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

 that bear not/r////; or purging those that do bear, that they may 

 bring forth more fruit. Divine Meditations (Upon the sight of a 

 pleasant Garden).
