God's time, the best time for deliverance. [ XVI]
THe Physician turns the hour-glasse, and resolves the physick shall work so
long;* 1.1 the impatient Patient〈…〉〈…〉, and thinks
every hour two, till he be refreshed; but the other knowes the fittest time, and
will not till then afford any comfort at all. Thus the children of God cry out in
the midst of their heavy pressures,* 1.2How long, Lord, how long? Shall the rod of the
wicked lye alwaies upon the back of the righteous?* 1.3 But he hath turned the glasse, he
will not hearken to their cry; they must stay their time, he knowes best when and
how to deliver them; had they but so much Faith as to believe it, or Patience to
wait for it.
