my_o text_n father_n the_o hour_n be_v come_v now_o glorify_v thy_o son_n now_o show_v mercy_n to_o thy_o church_n now_o execute_v thy_o wrath_n upon_o the_o persecutor_n and_o oppressor_n of_o the_o church_n no_o he_o must_v do_v it_o present_o whether_o his_o time_n be_v come_v or_o no_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o patience_n and_o humility_n to_o wait_v upon_o he_o and_o leave_v he_o to_o

hour_n or_o time_n be_v come_v john_n 2.4_o and_o we_o poor_a creature_n be_v so_o saucy_a and_o so_o bold_a sometime_o to_o tell_v the_o lord_n when_o he_o must_v show_v we_o such_o a_o favour_n when_o he_o must_v give_v we_o such_o a_o mercy_n if_o he_o delay_v and_o if_o he_o linger_v beyond_o the_o time_n that_o we_o appoint_v he_o we_o be_v go_v we_o can_v wait_v upon_o he_o any_o long_o we_o send_v for_o his_o assistance_n as_o it_o be_v by_o post_n and_o prescribe_v the_o lord_n a_o day_n as_o the_o bethulian_o and_o so_o upon_o the_o other_o side_n we_o appoint_v he_o when_o to_o deal_v against_o the_o enemy_n and_o persecutor_n of_o his_o people_n we_o set_v he_o down_o a_o time_n and_o we_o order_v he_o a_o season_n to_o wreak_v his_o vengeance_n and_o his_o wrath_n upon_o they_o but_o what_o say_v god_n to_o i_o belong_v vengeance_n and_o recompense_n this_o be_v a_o business_n that_o belong_v to_o i_o it_o appertain_v not_o to_o you_o to_o meddle_v with_o it_o their_o

many_o time_n that_o we_o will_v have_v he_o strike_v they_o present_o and_o tread_v down_o all_o his_o enemy_n that_o rise_v against_o he_o and_o his_o cause_n and_o people_n and_o take_v a_o order_n with_o they_o out_o of_o hand_n but_o god_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n he_o design_v another_o time_n and_o we_o do_v very_o ill_a to_o go_v about_o to_o turn_v he_o from_o it_o it_o be_v a_o bold_a

therefore_o in_o the_o second_o place_n my_o brethren_n since_o god_n have_v his_o time_n to_o do_v his_o action_n in_o it_o and_o shall_v not_o be_v desire_v to_o do_v they_o any_o other_o time_n let_v we_o be_v hence_o instruct_v how_o to_o regulate_v our_o prayer_n and_o desire_n in_o this_o regard_n let_v we_o subscribe_v to_o he_o for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o all_o his_o purpose_n of_o wrath_n against_o the_o wicked_a of_o mercy_n to_o his_o own_o people_n and_o let_v we_o free_o leave_v he_o to_o his_o own_o time_n if_o the_o prefix_a and_o the_o constitute_v time_n be_v

30.18_o why_o be_v you_o so_o impatient_a then_o why_o shall_v not_o you_o be_v well_o content_v and_o please_v to_o wait_v as_o well_o as_o he_o shall_v all_o the_o wait_a be_v on_o his_o side_n

he_o be_v not_o slack_a as_o man_n count_v slackness_n he_o hasten_v such_o a_o work_n of_o mercy_n as_o he_o seem_v to_o defer_v many_o time_n the_o work_n be_v great_a and_o there_o be_v many_o wheel_n that_o turn_v in_o it_o and_o they_o must_v move_v about_o in_o time_n too_o quick_a a_o motion_n will_v disorder_v all_o the_o lord_n have_v many_o thing_n to_o bring_v about_o in_o such_o

entrance_n into_o glory_n that_o hour_n be_v not_o far_o off_o and_o that_o perhaps_o our_o saviour_n christ_n may_v aim_v at_o in_o my_o text._n however_o this_o be_v evident_a that_o that_o which_o he_o desire_v here_o he_o pray_v may_v be_v effect_v and_o accomplish_v in_o his_o father_n time_n and_o this_o he_o make_v the_o ground_n of_o his_o petition_n father_n the_o hour_n be_v come_v the_o

now_o father_n glorify_v thy_o son_n so_o that_o the_o point_v suggest_v here_o be_v this_o doctrine_n god_n have_v his_o time_n to_o do_v his_o action_n in_o and_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v desire_v to_o do_v they_o any_o other_o time_n first_o he_o have_v his_o time_n to_o do_v his_o action_n in_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n in_o the_o point_n he_o have_v his_o hour_n a_o certain_a set_v and_o fix_a season_n for_o any_o business_n that_o he_o have_v to_o do_v he_o have_v a_o time_n for_o work_n of_o justice_n and_o you_o see_v that_o place_n for_o instance_n jer._n 51.33_o it_o be_v time_n to_o thresh_v she_o say_v the_o lord_n of_o babylon_n and_o so_o their_o foot_n shall_v slide_v in_o due_a time_n speak_v of_o ungodly_a man_n deut._n 32.35_o he_o have_v his_o time_n for_o work_n of_o mercy_n as_o it_o be_v observe_v of_o joseph_n psal_n 105.18_o 19_o his_o foot_n they_o hurt_v with_o fetter_n he_o be_v lay_v in_o iron_n until_o the_o time_n which_o god_n have_v

free_a as_o it_o be_v add_v there_o in_o that_o place_n and_o hence_o the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o wait_v in_o scripture_n that_o he_o may_v be_v gracious_a as_o in_o that_o know_a place_n isa_n 30.18_o now_o he_o that_o wait_v to_o do_v a_o thing_n look_v for_o a_o fit_a time_n thou_o shall_v arise_v and_o have_v mercy_n upon_o zion_n say_v the_o psalmist_n psal_n 102.13_o for_o the_o time_n to_o favour_v she_o yea_o the_o set_a time_n be_v come_v so_o that_o you_o see_v god_n have_v his_o time_n to_o do_v his_o action_n in_o now_o for_o the_o second_o member_n of_o the_o point_n he_o shall_v not_o be_v desire_v to_o do_v they_o any_o other_o time_n this_o be_v apparent_o suggest_v in_o this_o petition_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o my_o text._n father_n the_o hour_n be_v come_v now_o glorify_v thy_o son_n q._n d._n if_o thy_o appoint_a season_n be_v not_o come_v i_o will_v not_o seek_v to_o have_v thou_o glorify_v i_o at_o this_o time_n i_o will_v not_o have_v thou_o do_v it_o

and_o this_o be_v that_o the_o psalmist_n beat_v upon_o psal_n 102._o he_o observe_v all_o other_o thing_n and_o person_n in_o the_o world_n and_o find_v that_o they_o be_v variable_a and_o

there_o thou_o be_v the_o same_o and_o what_o do_v he_o infer_v upon_o it_o why_o therefore_o all_o the_o good_a and_o all_o the_o mercy_n that_o he_o have_v resolve_v upon_o with_o reference_n to_o
