A weak Faith is quickly worn out, it cannot wait; if God come not presently, it is cast down, and can wait no longer. You see this in the Two Disciples going to Emmaus. — We hoped that this should have been he that should have delivered Israel; but he is dead: and this is the third day. They might have waited a little longer; they were too quick and hasty: what though the third was come, it was not yet expired: great things might have been done yet before night. But weak Faith is impatient of delays. — This evil proceedeth from the Lord: shall I wait on him any longer? was the voice of that wicked King, 2 King. 6.33
