Thirdly, Taking the Antecedent to be the designs and contrivements of the wicked man.
Thirdly, Taking the Antecedent to be the designes and contrivements of the wicked man.
Hence Note.
The counsels, designs, and contrivements of wicked men, do often prove abortive: They are accomplished before their time. Their plots break out before they are ripe, and then all's spoiled. So it was with the Powder Plot, it was accomplished before the time; it was discovered before it could be acted; we have often seen grand designs laid in the dust, crushed in the shell, and nipped in the very bud. As the Prophet reproves some for staying too long, in the place of breaking forth of Children (Hos. 13.13.) That is, they have let their purposes dye under tedious consultations, or irresolutions for acting: So we may deride others for staying too little in the place of breaking forth of Children. God in judgement hastens them to action before their designs are fully matured by consultation, It is accomplished before his time.
