The Second Case.
How may a Christian be supported in waiting upon God whilst Providence delays the performance of the mercies to him for which he hath long prayed and waited?
HOw may a Christian be supported in waiting upon God whil'st Providence delays the performance of the mercies to him for which he hath long pray'd and waited?
Two things are supposed in this Case.
(1.) That Providence may linger and delay the performance of those mercies to us that we have long waited and prayed for. (2.) That during that delay and suspension, our hearts and hopes may be very low, and ready to fail.
Providence may long delay the performance of those mercies we have prayed and waited upon God for.
