Thirdly. Quest. When are the times and Seasons that God usually delivers his People out of the Bondage of Affliction?
Resp. 1. When they are in the greatest Extremity. When Jonah was in the Belly of Hell, then Chap. 2.5. Thou hast brought up my Life from Corruption. When there is but an Hairs breadth between the Godly and Death, then God ushers in Deliverance. When the Ship in the Gospel was almost covered with Waves, then Christ awoke, and rebuked the Wind. When Isaac was upon the Altar, and the Knife going to be put to his Throat, then comes the Angel, Lay not thy Hand upon the Child. When Peter began to sink, then Christ took him by the Hand. Cum duplicantur lateres venit Moses: When the Tale of Brick was doubled, then comes Moses the Temporal Saviour. When the People of God are in the greatest danger, then appears the Morning Star of Deliverance. When the Patient is ready to faint, now the Cordial is given.
