we know not whither, with Abraham; doe we know not what,* 1.1 with Gideon. If ye will enquire, enquire, saith Isaiah, return, come. A quick passage, and full of quickning. Like that of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Oratour, Si dormis, expergiscere; si stas, ingredere; si ingrederis,* 1.2 curre; si curris, advola. Courts have their citò, citò, quick, quick: and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 use to observe and improve their 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 tempora: So must Christians. God is but a while with men in the opportunities of grace. He comes leaping on the mountains,* 1.3 and skipping on the hils: and, being come, he stands at the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and knocks, by the sound of his Word, and motions of his spirit.* 1.4 He sits not, but stands: while a man is standing, we say, he is go∣ing. And woe be unto us, if he depart from us. God hath his sea∣son,* 1.5 his harvest for judgement, Matth. 13. 30. And is now more quick and peremptory in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 men, then of old: For 〈◊〉〈◊〉* 1.6 shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation, as is now preach∣ed?* 1.7 Our Saviour would not suffer 〈◊〉〈◊〉 man that said he would fol∣low him, to let so much time, as to bury his father. Excuses he takes for refusals, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 for denials. As Saul lest his Kingdom: so doth many a man his soul, by not 〈◊〉〈◊〉 his time: And troops of them that forget God, goe down to hell, Psal. 9. 17. Qua∣re 〈◊〉〈◊〉 mores & moras nostras. Let us up and be doing, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the Lord may be with us.
