Further, Saints of all ages have had their expecting time. We are required to be followers of them, who through faith and patience have inherited the promises. Our Saviour himself waited a life's time for his glorification. I have (saith he) glorified thee on earth; I have finished the work thou gavest me to do. And now further glorify me with thine own self &c.

Again, We were well enough content till God more clearly revealed that other state to live always as we do. Tis not now ingenuous to be impatiently querulous about the time of our entering into it. Tis his free vouchsafement we never merited such a thing at his hands.

Have patience with me and I will pay you all?
