2. In the frequent exercise of it self, Exod. 34. 6. He is slow to anger but abundant in goodness. Mercies are bestowed every day, judgements inflicted but now and then, sparingly, and after a long time of forbearance, when there is no remedy. 2 Chron. 36. 15. All the day long have I stretched out my hands to a gainsaying and rebellious people. Isai. 65. 2. that is, I have been patient a long time, and in that long day I have not been idle, but employed in exhortations, promises, and many mercies, whereby I might do you good. God waits long for mens conversion, as the Mariner for the turning of the wind.
