If the kingdom of God does not immediately appear,
according to our layings out, we ought not to imagine
that God is slack concerning his promise. Men may
alter and fail but God cannot. Therefore all who have
received light from God to see the approaching glory of
Zion, in this latter day, may rest assured that not one
tittle of what God has revealed shall fail.
Let none imagine that Christ delayeth his coming,
and from thence take occasion to bury their talent, to
hide and conceal what they have manifestly received
of God ; for the day is near when he will reckon with
each one according to what they have received, and re-
quire his own with usury. From all who have received
any measure of divine truth and power, God does ex-
pect an increase of the fame : and to be five fold, or ten
fold more deeply immersed in what the world have
been accustomed to call enthusiasm, than at first, will
be no unfavorable situation at the day of final reckon-
ing.
