37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.



Ver. 37. For yet a little while] Tantillum, tantillum, adhuc pusillum. A little, little, little while, åôé ãáï ìéêñïí ïóïí, ïóïí . God’s help seems long, because we are short. Were we but ripe, he is full ready. Hence this ingemination, "he that shall come, will come," &c., q.d. he will, he will, his mind is always upon it, he is still a coming to deliver. With this sweet promise Rev. Mr Whatley comforted himself a little before his death. And Bishop Jewel, persuading many to patience, oft said, haec non durabunt aetatem, this is but for awhile. (Mr Leigh’s Annotat.)
