1. Time is taken more largely or strictly according to the double acceptation of the Hebrew word [Greek or Hebrew], which signifieth sometimes Time, and sometimes Occasion, Season, or ⟨p. 451⟩Opportunity, and accordingly is expressed by [Greek or Hebrew] and [Greek or Hebrew], Tempus and Tempestivitas; the latter is the word here used, and denotes the commodiousness and fitness of some parts of Time above others for the successful and prosperous management and accomplishment of our main and great business in this world, which is to secure our interest in Christ, and glorify God in a course of fruitful obedience. For these great and weighty purposes our time is graciously lengthened out, and many fit opportunities presented to us in the revolutions thereof.
