Take but one instance more for all: The Deliverance of Deliverances, the Redemption of the world by Jesus Christ; how fiercely and furiously was it encountered by men and devils? how long was it adjourned after it was in the promise? how low was it brought after it was set on foot in the fullness of time? Surely so low, 1that at length the Disciples themselves give it for lost; We trusted it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: we trusted it had been He; that implies, now they had given over the Hopes of it, and look upon it as a lost design, no Redemption at all.
