Matthew 13:24-41 Another parable put he forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man which sowed good seed in his field: This may caution all ministers of Christ to take heed and watch, lest evil seed be sown amongst them, the seed of error and heresy. 1. Many may, under fair pretence of exalting Christ, sow pernicious and poisonous seed. 2.

Moreover, watch such who are subject to wander from their own fold and pasturage, and such also that are ready on every small occasion to take offence.
