1This should teach us patience, when we can do little good with those that are under us by all our instructions, and corrections wait the due time. Grace is not of thy giving, the heart is not of thy opening, or of any mans opening:2 therefore as it is 2 Tim. 2. wait, and bear with patience men of contrary minds, waiting when God in due time give them grace to repent. Grace is Gods creature it is none of ⟨p. 39⟩our own. Therefore take heed that we be not short, & angry spirited, if we cannot have all we would have of those that are under us, children, or servants, let us wait Gods time, he opens the heart in his time.
