Paul seems to have expressed this word to the full, Rom. 8. 19. by [Greek or Hebrew]; an intent or earnest expectation, expressing it self by putting forth the head, and looking round about with earnestness and diligence. And this is also signified expressly by this word; Psal. 69. 20. [Greek or Hebrew] and I looked for some to take pity; huc illuc anxie circumspexi, siqui fortè me commiseraturus esset. I looked round about this way and that way diligently and solicitously, to see if any would pity me or lament with me.

Thus, I have waited, is as much, as I have diligently with intention of soul, mind, will, and affections looked unto God, in earnest expectation of that from him, that I stand in need of, and which must come forth from the forgiveness that is with him.
