"If the tree fall towards the South, or towards the North, In the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be." The meaning of such a proverb is surely plain enough.

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
