And this seems to have a foundation in Scripture too. Jobs Deliverance out of Trouble is made the Ground of our waiting upon God for Deliverance out of Trouble also. You shall see it. Jam. 5.7. to 11. In the seventh Verse, the Apostle exhorts them unto patience, under all their afflictions, and Crosses, upon this Ground, because God will deliver them, if they wait on him. Why, But how shall we know that? Why saith the Apostle: He hath delivered others of his people, in the same Cases: And so will he you. You have heard (saith he) of the patience ⟨p. 235⟩of Job, and what end God made with him. (i. e.) How God delivered him out Trouble: And therefore be you patient, and wait for the same Deliverance.

And what is the meaning of that; but that the Church doth take up an Argument from Gods dealing with his Church in former times, To trust God for the like Mercy for themselves, being in the like condition.
