2 Corinthians6:2
Verſe 2. Now is the accepted time] He purpoſely beats upon the [non-Latin text not transcribed], becauſe opportunity is headlong, and, if once paſt, irrecoverable. Some are Semper victuri, as Seneca ſaith, they ſtand trifling out their time, and ſo fool away their ſalvation. God will not alwaies ſerve men for a ſinning-ſtock. Patientia laſa fit furor. Doe we therefore as Millers and Mariners, who take the gale when it cometh, and make uſe of it, becauſe they have not the winde in a bottle.
Now is the day of ſalvation] And God will not ſuffer men twice to neglect it. If once paſt, it will never dawn again. Catch therefore at opportunities, as the Eccho catcheth the voice, Pſal. 27. take the nick of time. God is more peremptory now then ever, Heb. 2.2, 3.
