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, ετι γαο μικρον οσον, οσον. 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.)
