Verse 53. He departed thence]
As wanting and yet waiting the next opportunity to glorifie God, and edifie others. Mini∣sters may hence learn, after their hardest labour, not to be weary of well-doing, but to be instant (or to stand close to their work)* 1.1 in season and out of season, even then when that good Word of* 1.2 God, that seasons all things, to some seems unseasonable. Si* 1.3decimus quis{que}, si unus persuasus fuerit, ad consolationem abundè sufficit, as Chrysostom hath it. Say but the tithe of our hearers be perswa∣ded, say but some one of them, it is sufficient encouragement.
But what if not one? yet our labour is not in vain in the Lord. The Physitian is both thanked and payed though th•• patient recover not: And though Israel be not gathered (as here Christs coun∣trymen would not be reclaimed) yet I shall be glorious (saith he* 1.4 by his servant Esay) in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.
