But what Time of Day was it that _Jesus_ came to the Figtree? It was in the _Morning_. And of what Day? That is uncertain as to the Letter, but according to the mystical Extent of the _Three Years_, whether we understand the Figtree as a Type of the Church, or of all Mankind of all Ages, it will be on the _Morning_ of the great Sabbath, when, upon the Appearance of the Light of Christ, like the Rising of the Sun, an unfruitful and erroneous Church must needs wither away. And the Disciples on the said _Morning_ will, as _Origen_[178] says, with their intellectual Eyes behold her waste with Admiration. And then too, they under Christ _will do what is done to the Figtree_, of the Church, and _remove Mountains_ of Antichristian Power, that exalt themselves against him; as the Fathers interpret, and I need not explain. And what is meant by the Means, which St. _Luke_ speaks of, to make the Figtree of the Church fruitful on the Sabbatical Year; _the Year it is to be let alone to bear Fruit in_? There must be _digging about it_, that is[179] into the Earth of the Letter of the Scriptures, and _dunging_ of it, that is calling[180] to Remembrance her Sins and Errors of the Time past, which rationally speaking will make the Church to bring forth good Fruit. After this Fashion is the rest of the Parable of the Figtree to be allegorized out of the Fathers. St. _Gregory_[181] the _Great_ and St. _Augustin_, make these two Stories or Parables, _viz._ of the Figtree, and of the Woman with her _Spirit of Infirmity_, as they are blended together in St. _Luke_, to be Figures of the same Mystery. The _eighteen Years_ of the Woman's Infirmity and the _three Years_ of the Figtree's Unfruitfulness, they will have to be mystically synchronical. And the Woman's _Incurvity_ to the Earth is, they say, significative of the same Thing with the _Unfruitfulness_ of the Figtree. And the _Erection_ of the Woman on the Sabbath is of the same Import with the _Reservation_ of the Tree for Fruitfulness on that Day. And let any one see, if they don't admirally agree, as I have interpreted these two Parables.
