perform_v their_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n god_n will_v suspend_v the_o further_a performance_n of_o his_o promise_n and_o will_v not_o drive_v out_o any_o more_o of_o the_o nation_n before_o they_o and_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o israelite_n never_o be_v possess_v of_o the_o promise_a land_n in_o the_o full_a latitude_n and_o extent_n of_o the_o promise_n ans_fw-fr this_o covenant_n of_o god_n with_o abraham_n be_v upon_o consideration_n of_o his_o past_a faith_n and_o obedience_n though_o it_o seem_v the_o full_a performance_n of_o it_o do_v likewise_o depend_v upon_o the_o future_a obedience_n of_o his_o posterity_n in_o pursuance_n of_o this_o covenant_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o murmering_n and_o rebellion_n of_o that_o people_n god_n do_v bring_v they_o into_o the_o promise_a land_n though_o they_o provoke_v he_o to_o destroy_v they_o many_o a_o time_n because_o he_o remember_v his_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n when_o they_o be_v possess_v of_o it_o god_n give_v they_o a_o title_n to_o the_o rest_n and_o will_v have_v assist_v they_o in_o the_o conquest_n of_o it_o if_o they_o have_v perform_v the_o condition_n require_v on_o their_o part_n that_o be_v continue_v faithful_a and_o obedient_a to_o he_o but_o they_o do_v not_o and_o thereby_o discharge_v god_n from_o any_o further_a performance_n of_o his_o promise_n and_o god_n when_o he_o have_v do_v this_o have_v full_o perform_v the_o covenant_n he_o make_v with_o abraham_n so_o far_o as_o concern_v his_o part_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o joshua_n even_o in_o a_o

covenant_n as_o well_o upon_o consideration_n of_o abraham_n faith_n and_o obedience_n as_o upon_o condition_n of_o the_o future_a obedience_n of_o his_o posterity_n the_o rebellion_n and_o disobedience_n of_o the_o people_n in_o the_o wilderness_n have_v release_v god_n whole_o from_o the_o promise_n and_o he_o have_v not_o be_v unfaithful_a if_o he_o have_v destroy_v utter_o that_o people_n and_o make_v a_o full_a end_n of_o they_o and_o they_o have_v never_o enter_v into_o that_o land_n because_o a_o failure_n of_o the_o condition_n do_v make_v the_o obligation_n to_o cease_v and_o that_o this_o condition_n be_v imply_v in_o this_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n appear_v by_o these_o text_n deut._n 7.12_o 13.11.22.23.42_o and_o judg._n 2.20_o god_n give_v this_o reason_n why_o he_o suspend_v the_o complete_a performance_n of_o his_o promise_n the_o anger_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v hot_a against_o israel_n and_o he_o say_v because_o that_o this_o people_n have_v transgress_v my_o covenant_n which_o i_o command_v their_o father_n and_o have_v not_o hearken_v to_o my_o voice_n i_o also_o will_v not_o henceforth_o drive_v out_o any_o of_o the_o nation_n which_o joshua_n leave_v when_o he_o die_v three_o objection_n god_n be_v not_o punctual_a in_o perform_v his_o threaten_n as_o when_o he_o threaten_v adam_n gen._n 2.17_o in_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v sure_o die_v which_o yet_o be_v not_o accomplish_v for_o he_o live_v many_o hundred_o year_n after_o god_n threaten_v ahab_n to_o bring_v evil_a upon_o he_o and_o his_o family_n 1_o king_n 21.21_o but_o upon_o his_o humiliation_n he_o be_v please_v to_o respite_v it_o v_o 29._o so_o god_n threaten_v hezekiah_n with_o death_n but_o upon_o his_o prayer_n add_v fifteen_o year_n to_o his_o life_n 2_o king_n 20._o thus_o nineveh_n be_v threaten_v but_o upon_o their_o repentance_n god_n repent_v of_o the_o evil_a jon._n 3.10_o now_o how_o be_v this_o defer_v and_o turn_v away_o of_o judgement_n consistent_a with_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n do_v not_o this_o seem_v to_o charge_v he_o with_o falsehood_n or_o levity_n ans_fw-fr this_o may_v be_v say_v in_o general_a that_o every_o one_o that_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n can_v but_o be_v very_o well_o assure_v that_o falsehood_n and_o levity_n be_v very_o far_o from_o god_n and_o though_o he_o can_v not_o untie_v some_o particular_a knot_n and_o answer_v all_o difficulty_n yet_o he_o ought_v to_o rest_v satisfy_v in_o this_o assurance_n i_o confess_v this_o objection_n be_v troublesome_a and_o require_v a_o distinct_a consideration_n i_o will_v not_o be_v peremptory_a in_o nice_a matter_n but_o i_o shall_v with_o submission_n offer_v these_o thing_n in_o answer_n to_o it_o 1._o as_o for_o the_o expression_n of_o god_n repent_v we_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o as_o many_o other_o in_o scripture_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n and_o speak_v by_o way_n of_o condescension_n to_o our_o weakness_n and_o accommodate_v to_o our_o capacity_n and_o not_o as_o cast_v any_o imputation_n of_o false_a hood_n or_o inconstancy_n upon_o god_n as_o if_o either_o he_o do_v not_o intend_v what_o he_o say_v or_o out_o of_o levity_n do_v alter_v his_o mind_n when_o god_n be_v say_v to_o repent_v the_o expression_n only_o signify_v thus_o much_o that_o god_n do_v not_o execute_v that_o which_o seem_v to_o we_o to_o have_v be_v his_o purpose_n that_o he_o be_v please_v to_o do_v otherwise_o than_o his_o threaten_n seem_v open_o to_o express_v because_o of_o some_o tacit_n condition_n employ_v in_o they_o and_o this_o do_v not_o derogate_a either_o from_o the_o truth_n or_o sincerity_n or_o constancy_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n not_o from_o his_o truth_n for_o he_o speak_v what_o he_o intend_v real_o if_o something_o do_v nor_o intervene_v to_o prevent_v the_o judgement_n threaten_v upon_o which_o he_o be_v resolve_v when_o he_o threaten_v to_o be_v take_v off_o and_o stop_v his_o judgement_n nor_o do_v it_o derogate_v from_o his_o sincerity_n and_o plainness_n for_o he_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o his_o threaten_n have_v such_o condition_n imply_v in_o they_o nor_o do_v it_o derogate_v from_o the_o constancy_n and_o immutability_n of_o god_n because_o god_n do_v not_o mutare_fw-la consilium_fw-la sed_fw-la sententiam_fw-la he_o do_v not_o change_v his_o counsel_n and_o purpose_n but_o take_v off_o the_o sentence_n which_o he_o have_v pass_v with_o reserve_a condition_n 2._o as_o to_o the_o instance_n that_o i_o may_v give_v more_o particular_a satisfaction_n to_o they_o i_o shall_v consider_v the_o threaten_n of_o god_n with_o this_o double_a respect_n either_o with_o relation_n to_o law_n or_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o event_n with_o relation_n to_o a_o law_n as_o they_o be_v the_o sanction_n of_o it_o or_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o event_n as_o they_o be_v prediction_n of_o something_o to_o come_v 1._o some_o threaten_n have_v only_a relation_n to_o a_o law_n as_o they_o be_v the_o sanction_n of_o it_o and_o thus_o consider_v they_o differ_v from_o promise_n for_o promise_n confer_v a_o right_n omne_fw-la promissum_fw-la cadit_fw-la in_o debitum_fw-la but_o a_o threaten_a do_v not_o convey_v any_o right_n nor_o if_o forbear_v can_v the_o party_n complain_v of_o wrong_n do_v to_o he_o and_o therefore_o in_o this_o case_n it_o can_v only_o signify_v what_o the_o offence_n against_o the_o law_n deserve_v and_o what_o the_o offender_n may_v expect_v for_o the_o end_n of_o threaten_v be_v not_o punishment_n but_o the_o avoid_n of_o it_o and_o this_o may_v answer_v the_o first_o instance_n god_n give_v adam_n a_o law_n and_o by_o way_n of_o sanction_n not_o of_o prediction_n of_o a_o event_n he_o threaten_v the_o breach_n of_o it_o with_o death_n now_o god_n do_v not_o execute_v the_o punishment_n threaten_v at_o the_o time_n threaten_v but_o defer_v it_o and_o this_o without_o any_o impeachment_n of_o his_o justice_n or_o truth_n because_o this_o threaten_n be_v only_o the_o sanction_n of_o the_o law_n 2._o we_o may_v consider_v threaten_n with_o relation_n to_o the_o event_n and_o as_o prediction_n and_o as_o to_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o these_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o great_a degree_n of_o necessity_n because_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n knowledge_n and_o power_n and_o truth_n seem_v to_o be_v concern_v in_o they_o for_o if_o his_o word_n be_v not_o fulfil_v it_o must_v either_o be_v for_o want_n of_o knowledge_n to_o foresee_v event_n or_o power_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o pass_v or_o constancy_n to_o his_o word_n now_o if_o we_o consider_v threaten_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o event_n as_o they_o be_v prediction_n of_o future_a judgement_n i_o think_v all_o the_o other_o instance_n may_v be_v satisfy_v by_o lay_v down_o this_o rule_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o they_o viz._n that_o all_o prophetical_a threaten_n or_o prediction_n of_o judgement_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v with_o this_o tacit_n condition_n if_o there_o do_v not_o intervene_v the_o humiliation_n and_o repentance_n and_o prayer_n of_o the_o person_n against_o who_o the_o judgement_n be_v threaten_v and_o if_o so_o
