The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Þe Lord tarieth not his biheest, as summe gessen, but he doith pacientli for you, and wole not þat ony men perische, but þat alle turne ayen to penaunce.
