It is not therefore for want either of evil desert on our part, or of good cause and just ground, yea or power on Gods part, that he holdeth his ⟨p. 88⟩hand from smiting so soon as we sin, and in this manner giveth warning before he smite, kHis hand is not weakened, that he cannot strike us, nor his arm shortened, that he cannot reach us. lHe hath not lost his power; but he exerciseth his patience: saith Augustine. mHe exerciseth his patience, while he expecteth our repentance.
