When the Lord is going to bring about any Promised and Marvellous Deliverance for His Church, He says of it, Though it Tarry, it will surely come, it will not Tarry; that is, when once […] ha's begun to Come. When Cyrus, a Pagan Prince, had once begun a Deliverance for the Church, by Proclaiming a Liberty for them to fall upon Building the Temple, unto That some have applied that passage, in Cant. 2.8. My Beloved, Behold, He cometh leaping upon the Mountains! And when the Lord is going to Execute His Vengeance on His Adversaries, He sometimes does make a Wondrous Dispatch of •hem; as He said once unto the Greatest man ⟨p. 11⟩in Israel, In that Day, I will perform all the Things which I have spoken concerning his House; when I begin, I will also make an End. When the Judgments of God come upon the Papacy, tis said, in Rev. 10.3. Seven Thunders utter their Voices: there shall be the Swiftness of Rapid Thunders in those Judgments. There is a Leap, as well as a Softly and Gentle Walk, of Providence. On the one hand, when a Joseph was Raised up to be the Saviour of Israel, tis said, They brought him Hastily to be preferred. On the other hand, the Plagues which were to come upon Oppressors, tis said of them, They shall be as a Breach ready to fall, Swelling out in an high Wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
