A weak Faith is loath to dye: is afraid of death: he hath not yet gotten his Evidence sealed, his hope in his hand. But when this is done, then with Paul, I desire to be dissolved. Or with Simeon, when he had once gotten Christ into his arms — Lord, Now lettest thou thy servant depart in Peace; for my eyes have seen thy salvation. You hear how David cries, Psal. 42.1, 2. As the Hart panteth for the Water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O Lord. My soul thirsteth for God; when shall I come and appear before God!

2. Strong Faith hath strong desires that Christ would come to Judgement. It is not well contented there should be a distance betwixt Christ and it. And therefore cries with the Spouse, Cant. 8.14. — Make haste, my Beloved.— Why are the Chariots so long in coming?
