To enlarge this point a little.1 As there is a time of waiting, so there will be a time when Gods people shall say, Lee this is the Lord, we have waited for him. Why God is Jehovah, a full and pregnant word, a word of comfort and stay for the soul,2 in this word Jehovah. He is a God that giveth a being to all things, and a being to his word, and therefore what he saith, he will make good: He is Lord of his word. Every mans word is, as his nature, and power, and ability is, the word of a man, or the word of an honest man, but being the word of a God, he will make all good.
