Besides God says, They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their Strength, they shall mount up with Wings like Eagles; but perhaps it may be long first, I waited long saith David and did seek the Lord; and at length his cry was heard: Wherefore he bid his Soul wait on God, and says, for i• is good so to do, before thy Saints Psal. 40.1. Psal. 62.5. Psal. 51.9.

And what if thou waitest upon God all thy Days? Is it below thee; And what if God will cross his Book and blot out the hand writing that is against thee, and not let thee know it as yet? Is it fit to say unto God, Thou art hard hearted? Despair not: Thou hast no ground to Despair so long as thou livest in this World. 'Tis a Sin to begin to Despair, before one sets his Foot over the Threshold of Hell-gates. For them that are there, let them Despair and spare not; but as for thee, thou hast no ground to do it. What Despair of Bread, in a land that is full of Corn! ⟨p. 99⟩
