You see then, that Christ (as soon as ever it is fit for him) he will come. If he should come sooner, he would come too soon; if afterward it would 1be too late. He is the best discerner of times and seasons that can be, and therefore wait his leisure. If thou want comfort, humble soul, whatsoever thou art, wait his leisure, certainly he knoweth the best time, and when the time is come, he will come. He that will come shall come, there is no question of that.
