r.But
if
that,
which
is
here mentioned,be
all
that
is
promifed
to them,
namely , dealing fo
gracioufly and bountifully with
them
in
his
Difpenfations, according
as was
intimated, there
is
not
any
thing
in
the lean
held
out
to
them
in
this
place,
but
what God had already (himfelfe being
judge)
in as
eminent and
high a
manner wrought
in
reference
to
them
and for them
, as
could be conceived.
And
indeed
it was fuch,
as

never after this, arofe
to that
height
of
outward
mercy and
bounty,
in
things fpirituall
and
temporal!,

Neither after the Captivity unto
this

they
fee

glory
of

magnificent peace
of
Solomon,

Whereas
he
affirmed
formerly,
that
this
Promife
is
conditional!, and
that
the
things thereinpromifed,
doe
depend
on
conditions
by
them
to be
falfilled,to
Whom
the
Promife is made.
Seel
:Sq,.pag.221. in
the
Gloffe
here given
us
of
the
words,
there
is
no intimation
of
any
fuch
conditions,
as
whereon the promi-
fed
acttings
of
God fhould be fufpended,
but
only an
uncertainty
of
Event
in
reference
to
thefe
a&ings
Afferted
That
(according
to
this
interpretation)
which alone God
promifeth
to
doe
is,
that
he
would deale
above
meafuregraci-
oufly,
and
bountifully
with them,
as
well
in matters relating
to
their
fpirituall
con-.
ditions,
as
in things
concerning
their
outward condition, this
is
all
he promifeth,
and this
he will
abfolutely doe, be
the
Event
what
it
will.
It
is
not
Paid,
(
nor
can
it with
any
pretence
of
reafon)
that
this allo
is
conditional!, nay
what
e-
ver
the
Event
and
iffue
be,
that
God
will thus
deale with them,
is
the
fence
of
the
