Man, God, the world — everything in its own way bears fruit. All things have their proper season. We usually think of the word 'fruit' as belonging to vines and trees, but it applies more broadly. Reason bears two kinds of fruit: common fruit that benefits others, and personal fruit that it enjoys itself. Reason spreads naturally. What it creates in itself, it creates in others, and so multiplies.
Man, God, the world, every one in their kind, bear some fruits. All things have their proper time to bear. Though by custom, the word itself is in a manner become proper unto the vine, and the like, yet is it so nevertheless, as we have said. As for reason, that beareth both common fruit for the use of others; and peculiar, which itself doth enjoy. Reason is of a diffusive nature, what itself is in itself, it begets in others, and so doth multiply.
