12. For what cause God deferreth that judgement.
He deferreth it, §11. To exercise faith, patience, hope, and prayer in the godly. §22. That all the elect may be gathered to the Church: For in respect of them, and not in respect of the wicked, doth the world continue; for the creatures were made for the children of the house: the wicked use them as thieves and robbers: But when the whole number of the Church is fulfilled and gathered together, then shall be the end. Now God will have the elect gathered by ordinary means; he will have them in this life to hear the word, and by it be renewed and converted; to which is required some tract of time. §33. He deferreth it, that he might grant unto all a time and space of repentance, as in Noah's time: and that his deferring might leave the wicked and obstinate without excuse:1 Despisest thou the riches of his bountifulness, and patience, and long sufferance, not knowing that the bountifulness of God leadeth thee to repentance? God suffereth with patience the vessels of wrath prepared to destruction.
