And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, entreating him without delay to come over to them.

And now why delay? arise, to be baptised, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord.

For yet a little, very little while, and he that is coming will come, and will not delay.

The Lord doth not delay the promise (as some count it delay); but is longsuffering towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should have space for repentance.
