And as they wait for them, while they are in performing,§4 so they shall enjoy them: We have waited for thee, and we will be glad in thy salvation. ⟨p. 108⟩We shall so enjoy them, that we shall joy in them: Good things when they be enjoyed, they be joyed in.
And as they wait for them, while they are in performing,§4 so they shall enjoy them: Wee have wayted for thee, and wee will bee glad in thy salvation. ⟨p. 108⟩We shall so enjoy them, that we shall joy in them: Good things when they be enjoyed, they bee joyed in.
Again, we shall rejoice in our salvation; we shall glory in our God. After they be a while exercised in waiting, then cometh performance, then they be enjoyed, and they be enjoyed with joy, in glorying in God. For that is the issue of a Christian, when he hath what he would enjoy, when he enjoyeth it with joy, when the fruit of it is, that God hath his glory, and therefore the heart can rejoice in his salvation.
