The Text saith of Abraham, Heb. 6.15. That after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise; he received the performance after he had a little waited for it. So the Prophet David, Psal. 101.2. I will walk in the uprightness of my heart till the Lord come to me: As if he should say, If the Lord will absent himself from me, and not reveal himself to me, yet wait I will, and desire I will, and still I will be hoping for the mercy of the Lord till he come to me. So it was said of Simeon, that good old man, That he waited for the consolation of Israel, Luke 2.25. Mine eyes (saith David, Psal. 119.123.) grow dim for the looking for thy salvation. He that believeth makes not haste, Isai. 28.16. he makes hast to obey, but makes not hast to bring mercy from God.
