Answer, First, that Tract of time can neither interrupt the accomplishment of a promise, nor the comfort of a promise, it is comfortable that what is promised shall sooner or later come to pass, especially in this, wherein all the comforts of the Elect of God are reserved to the day of judgement. Daniel 10.1. In the third year of Cyrus, King of Persia, a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose Name was called Belteshazzar, and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long, and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. It is a promise made by Christ to comfort you against all the troubles of the World, he will come again, and though the time be long ere he doth come, yet the time appointed will be true, it is certain, though it be long.
