The blessedness of the righteous discoursed from Psal. 17, 15 /The blessednesse of the righteous discoursed from Psal. 17, 15 /

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?

And our former state should be often reflected on. If you had promised great things to a wretch lately taken off the dunghill, and he is every day impatiently urging you •o an untimely accomplishment, would you not ⟨p. 381⟩check his over bold hast, by minding him of his original? It becomes not base and low born persons to be transported with a preposterous over hasty expectation of high and and great things.
