Among other grounds this in special showeth the equity of this duty,1 that God (who hath put in his own power the times and seasons, Acts 1.7.) doth most seasonably order his dealings with children of men. He giveth rain in his due season. Deut. 11.14. He giveth to all their meat in due season. Psal. 145.15. His Saints reap that crop which he giveth in due season, Gal. 6.9. To every thing there is a season. Eccl. 3.1. Now Gods unsearchable wisdom is much manifested in a due ordering of the things which he doth, as in wisdom he made all things (Psal. 104.24.) so most wisely doth he dispose the same. By a due observing of the very day and point of time, we may clearly discern that wisdom of God; yea, the blessing it self will thereby appear to be the greater in the kind thereof, and more useful unto us.
