Oh therefore let us take heed of impatience and frowardness of spirit in trouble, and of being weary of duty,1 and g•owing careless in holy services, because an answer comes not presently, this shows the rottenness of our spirits as much as any thing, and 'tis as evident a sign of an hypocrite as any we have in Scripture Isa 8. they fa••ed and prayed so long that they thought themselves mightily wronged because they were not heard; therefore are they so bold to ask God a reason why ⟨p. 542⟩he was so far behind hand with them when they had done so much service for him? Oh boldness of spirit!
