We should answer with our faith Gods dealing,1 that is, if God defer let us wait, yea wait to the uttermost, wait to death. He is our God to death, and in death, and for ever. If God perform his promise at the worst, then, till we are at the lowest we must wait.

- 1Our faith should answer Gods dealing.
And therefore one character of a child of God from others is this.1 Give me the present, saith the carnal beastly man, the world, but Gods people are content to wait, he knoweth what he hath in promise is better then what he hath in possession. The gleanings of Gods people are better then the others harvest. The other cannot wait, but must have present payment: Gods child can wait, for he liveth by faith. And therefore we should learn patiently to wait for the performance of all Gods promises.
