and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
LUK 8:6. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away,

away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit
to perfection.

having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
