6 ΒΆ Hee spake also this parable, A certaine man had a figtree planted in his Uineyard, and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
7 Then said hee vnto the dresser of his Uineyard, Beholde, these three yeeres I come seeking fruit on this figtree, and finde none: cut it downe, why cumbreth it the ground?
8 And he answering, said vnto him, Lord, let it alone this yeere also, till I shall digge about it, and doung it:
9 And if it beare fruit, Well: and if not, then after that, thou shalt cut it downe.
Lk 13:6-9
