- 1Doct. 2. God delivers after he hath done his work.
Let us wait, for he will deliver at length: perhaps his time is not yet that he will deliver; but usually when all is desperate, when he may have all the glory then he delivers. He delivered the three young men, but they were put into the fire first, and the Furnace was made seven times hotter, that he might have the glory in consuming their enemies: so he delivered Hezekias in his time, but it was when the enemy was even ready to seize upon the City. He promised St. Paul that not one man should perish in the ship, but yet they suffered shipwreck, they went away only with their lives. God doth so deliver his, that he doth not suffer them to perish in the danger.
