Again, Desires do commonly work a Languor 1and sainting towards the thing desired, if they be either strong or hasty: For †Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. As Ahab's eager desire of Naboths Vineyard, cast him upon his bed. And David expresseth his longings towards Gods Law, by the breaking and fainting of his Soule. Cum expectatio longior est consenescit animus, & debilitatur mens.: Delayed expectation weakeneth and withereth the minds of Men. And therefore the Apostle expresseth strength of Desire by groaning, which is the Language of Sickness.
