Deliverance-obstruction

¹Tenthly and Lastly, By this way, and these methods, God endears Deliverances unto his people. If they were easily got, they would be light set-by; but O how sweet is a land of Rest after forty years travel! how sweet Peace after War! how beautiful a Creation when ⟨p. 27⟩it comes out of a Chaos! as heaven is worth two heavens to a poor soul that comes out of hell; so Deliverance is Deliverance indeed, and Reformation is Reformation twice told, that is fetched out of the jaws of Difficulty, out of the bowels of devouring apposition: it will be meat indeed, when it comes out of the eater; and sweetness indeed, when out of strong conflicts and long expectation: then may the Church tune her Psalms of Thanksgiving with the sweet singer of Israel, ²I waited patiently for the Lord, and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry; and so forward.
