§ 9 From this time forward the Body of the people of the Jews saw not a day of peace or Quietness: Tumults, Seditions, Outrages, Robberies, Murders, increased all the Nation over. And these things by various degrees made way for that fatal War, which beginning about six or seven years after the Death of James, ended in the utter desolation of the People, City, Temple, and Worship, foretold so long before by Daniel the Prophet, and intimated by our Saviour to lye at the door. This was that day of the Lord, whose sudden approach the Apostle declares unto them, Chap. 10.36, 37. For ye have need of Patience that after the have done the Will of God, ye may receive the Promise; For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. [Greek or Hebrew] A very little while, less than you think of, or imagine; the manner whereof he declares Chap. 12.26, 27, 28. And by this means he effectually diverted them from a pertinacious adherence unto those things whose dissolution from God himself, was so nigh at hand; which Argument was also afterwards pressed by Peter, 2 Epist. Chap. 3.
