Green figs; which it shooteth forth as soon as it doth leaves, in the spring time, Matthew 24:32. A good smell; which, though not strong, is pleasant and grateful, and given by it in the progress of the spring. Come away: these words are here repeated, to show both the church's infirmity and indisposition, which needs so many calls and arguments to press so necessary and advantageous a duty; and Christ's tender compassion to her weakness, and fervent desire of converse with her.
