1. The Day of God's Patience began with Ishmael, and also ended before he was twenty Years old. At thirteen Years of Age he was Circumcised; and the next Year after Isaac was born, and then Ishmael was fourteen Years old: Now that Day that Isaac was weaned, that Day was Ishmael rejected; and suppose that Isaac was three Years old before he was weaned; that Day was but the seventeenth Year of Ishmael, wherefore then the Day of God's Grace was ended with him betimes, Gen. 27.24.25. Chap. 21.2. to 10. Gal. 4.30.
2. Cain's Days ended with him betimes, for after God had rejected him, he lived to beget many Children, and built a City, and to do many other things.
But alas, all that while he was a Fugitive and a Vagabond. Nor carried he any thing with him after the Day of his Rejection was come, but this doleful Language in his Conscience, from God's Face shall I be hid. Gen. 4.10 to 14.
