And this He doth, for He will not reverse the order or the ordinal course in the cause of His creation. For time is made for man, and not man for time. If I would now amend it, thou wottest well, by very reason of thy words written before, it may not be after the course of nature, nor of common grace, that I should now heed or else make satisfaction, for any more times than for those that be for to come. I shall on no wise, for abundance of frailty and slowness of spirits, be able to observe one of an hundred. So that I am verily concluded in these reasons.
Love is such a power, that it maketh all thing common.
He by His Godhead is maker and giver of time. He by His manhood is the very keeper of time. And He by His Godhead and His manhood together, is the truest Doomsman, and the asker of account of dispensing of time. But of one thing I warn thee amongst all other. And therefore take heed to this work, and to the marvellous manner of it within in thy soul.
