Now
bccaufc many do

this
waiting
Gods
leifure,
(As

O,

leifure
till

My heart
is
much
hardned,
faith

;
but
I
wait
the
Lords leifure
till
he
be
pleated
to
foften
it.
Thus
men are
lazie
in
the mean
while;
and yet they
think
they
wait
the
Lords leifure.
O
beloved,
this
is
not the
waiting

Thou

If

;
if

So

Be obedient

S.
If
thou wait
ur
on any
thing
elfe,
this
is
not
to wait
upon
God. One
waiteth
a
time
to
be re-
venged
;
another waiteth
a
time
to
fatisfe
this
or
that lull
:
this
is
not
to wait upon
God
at
all.

Take
