¶How God saith that he will not give that which he will give, and contrarily.
¶How God sayth that he wyl not geue that whych he wyl geue, and contrarily.
HE saith he will not help them, and yet afterward he helped them. Did Godly therefore? No undoubtedly, but as yet the repentance of the people was not come unto that point that he would have it, according to that state and condition that they were then in, he saith he will not help them. For God knoweth the moments of times. So useth a Physician to handle his Patient, when he requireth wine in his burning and heat of his fever. I will not give it (saith he) not because he will never give it, but because he knoweth when it shall be profitable unto him.1 Again the sick person desireth a purgation, the Physician denieth him it, because he will first have the humours well concocted, that they may the easelier be educed: so doth God now with his people.

I wyll not geue it (sayth he) not bicause hee will neuer geue it, but bicause hee knoweth when it shal be profitable vnto him.1 Againe the sicke person desireth a purgation, the Phisition denieth him it, bicause he wil first haue the humors wel concocted, that they may the easelier be educed: so doth God now with his people.
