Expos. 34. Here we must know, that God doth hear and grant our requests, when yet he doth defer to give us the sense thereof, Esa. 65. 24. 2. Sam. 12, 13. with Psa. 51. 1, 2. Dan. 9. 22. 23. and 10. 12, 13. Also he doth not alway give the particular thing we ask, but what he knows best for us, Rom. 1. 10. 2. Cor. 12. 7, 8, 9. Heb. 5. 7. Further, we must take heed, that we limit not the Lord to our own time, Esa. 28. 16. nor yet receive Satan's answer f•r the Lords: Satan's ⟨p. 135⟩answer is either contrary to the word of truth; or if he speak the truth, it is to a wrong end, viz. despair or profaneness. Lastly, observe that we speed well when God giveth us the same thing that we crave, being good, Lam. 3. 57. Gen. 30. 19. 22. and 20. 17. Psa. 21. 2. 4. Exod. 17. 11. Josh. 10. 13. or another as fit, or more fit for us, Gen. 17. 18, 19. Mar. 14. 35. with Heb. 5. 7. or more patience and strength to wait, 2. Cor. 12. 7, 8, 9. Psal. 40. 1.
