Ready to Promise, But Slow to Perform
Matthew 21:28-32
But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.…


Hypocrites purpose oft, and promise fair to do better, but drive off and fail in the performance; their morning cloud is soon dispersed, their early dew is quickly dried up, their heartless essays come to nothing. The philosopher liked not such as are always about to live better, but never begin. A divine complains that the goodness of many is like the softness of a plum, soon crushed; but their wickedness is like the stone in the plum, hard and inflexible.

(John Trapp.)
