Religion that stands in the afflicting of the body, is but a shadow, and an appearance of humility. Col. 2. 23. And the true worshippers of God in the new Testament, worship him in spirit and trueth, Joh. 4. v. 24

The fullness of time, or the full time, is that time in which the §15captivity of the Church endeth, and her liberty begins. This time was ended 4000. years from the creation: and it is called a full time, because it was designed and appointed, by the will & providence of the heavenly father. For he is Lord of time, and §20all seasons are in his hand: and his will or providence makes times fit or unfit. Mark then, that is the only full and fit time for the enjoying of any blessing of God, which he by his providence appointeth. This must teach us, when by prayer we ask any good thing at Gods hand, not to prescribe any time §25unto God, but to leave it to his providence. Again, if thou live in any misery, wait on the Lord, and be content. For that is the fit & best time of thy deliverance, which God hath appointed. Lastly, thou must be admonished to pray to god for grace and mercy, and to turn to him this day before to morrow. §30For this is the time which God hath appointed for these duties: this is the day of grace, and therefore the only fit time.
