man by, and he said to the nobleman he had one single seed in
his pocket, and asked the nobleman if he would let him put his
small seed into the garden. He gave consent; it took root and
grew, and became a mighty tree, whose boughs reached to the
ends of the earth; and there came a great cry that this tree
choked them, that they could not bear fruit. This nobleman said
he would be rid of this tree; the wayfaring man said that he
could procure him a medicine that this tree would do no harm.
Explanation - This medicine that this wayfaring man has
procured was the doctor, that he would send to heal up the
wounds of the trees, so that the trees brought forth more fruit.
But in process of time there came another cry to the nobleman,
and the nobleman said that he would be rid of this tree; the
wayfaring man said that he had another medicine, he would
send forth a lawyer to compel them to keep the law to bring
forth more fruit; but they kept not the law, then the nobleman
was determined to be rid of the tree; the wayfaring man said
that he would procure this medicine only, he would send forth
the parson, and then the tree would do no harm; and they cried
mightily for the saving of souls, but still the cry of the trees
came up before the nobleman. Now I will destroy this tree, and
cut it down, and cast it into hell for one thousand years.
Now the explanation of this small seed - the boll of which is
the devil, the boughs the angels that fell with him from heaven,
and the small branches the evil spirits that fell from him, and
they shall be cast down into hell for one thousand years. The
dresser and pruner was Adam, and the certain nobleman was the
Godhead, three in one; who set his mark in the firmament that
he would destroy the earth no more with water, which will even
cause him to remember his oath that he swear to our forefathers
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and for a sign unto them, he has
never caused a razor to pass over their face; that I may
remember my covenant to them which I sware to their
forefathers, and this shall be a sign unto me that I shall do this
unto them. The end of the sixth parable and the explanation. I
AM THAT I AM hath sent me unto you.
