As the grace of God towards sinners,1 so his wrath needs no long time in preparations. When we design great actions, we must take time to fit our selves. Princes must have time to set out an Army or a Navy, when they would either defend themselves against, or revenge themselves upon their enemies; But God can presently proceed to action, yea to execution.
