The sinners last sentence to eternal punishment, for sins of omission

1. I answer, by confessing (that it may be) that some positive Duties may at some times be unseasonable. The best sort of Food is not always in season. Solomon tells us, There is a time to sow, and a time to reap, Eccles. 3.1, 2. All the year is not Seed-time, only some part of it. And it must be granted, that every thing is most beautiful in its season, vers. 11. then in its season it is most lustrous ⟨p. 450⟩and lovely, most amiable and comely The grace and glory of an Action consisteth much in the right timing of it; therefore it is the praise of a good man, That he bringeth forth his fruit in due season, Psal. 1. And it highly advanceth the Wisdom of God, that all his Actions are done in the neck, in the joint, in the fittest opportunity possible. When the fullness of time was come, God sent his Son, Gal. 4.3, 4. He hath out of his goodness allotted time for every Duty, Eccles. 3.1. There is a time to every purpose, and Duty for every part of time, so that a man can never say at this time, I have nothing to do. Nay, God hath allowed a season, an opportunity for every thing, wherein, by a concurrence of helps and means, it may be done with most ease and advantage, Isa. 50.4.
