You read an excellent passage to this purpose in the John 11.4, &c. Lazarus sisters sent to Christ, to tell him, that their brother was sick, and entreat him to come down and heal him: Christ answers, This sickness is not unto death, but that the glory of God might be revealed, and manifested. And mark now the way that Christ takes to advance his glory, Verse 6. When he had heard, saith the Text, that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. One would think this a strange passage; he should rather have gone presently, and have recovered him. But this was now the way Christ took to advance his glory; he doth not only suffer him to be sick, but to dye of his sickness, nay, to be buried, and to lye in the grave four days: and thus lets the difficulty go beyond the power of man, that the power and glory of God might be more visible and manifest: as he tells us in the 15. and 40. Verses.

And mark now the way that Christ takes to advance his glory, Verse 6. When hee had heard, saith the Text, that he was sick, he abode two dayes still in the same place where he was. One would thinke this a strange passage; hee should rather have gone presently, and have recovered him. But this was now the way Christ took to advance his glory; he doth not only suffer him to be sick, but to dye of his sicknesse, nay, to be buried, and to lye in the grave foure dayes: and thus lets the difficulty go beyond the power of man, that the power and glory of God might be more visible and manifest: as he tels us in the 15. and 40. Verses.
You have the like also in Luke 8. from the 41. to the 49. Verse.
