Secondly, it was often repeated, & renewed, and namely to Moses; unto whom the Lord promised that he should be their guide, yea and that himself would pro•ect them in their journey, and safely conduct them thither. Thirdly, God sealed this promise by many and sundry signs and miracles, both in Egypt, at the red sea, and in the wilderness: yet for all this they believed not, that God would accomplish these promises unto them, to bring them to that good land: and further, seeing the land of Canaan was a type of that heavenly Canaan, they believed not that God would bring them to heaven, and give them inheritance in that eternal rest by means of the Messiah. This unbelief then of the promises of God was the cause of their destruction.

Secondly, it was often repeated, & renued, and namely to Moses; vnto whom the Lord promised that he should be their guide, yea and that himselfe would pro•ect them in their iournie, and safely conduct them thither. Thirdly, God sealed this promise by many and sundrie signes and miracles, both in Egypt, at the red sea, and in the wildernesse: yet for all this they beleeued not, that God would accomplish these promises vnto them, to bring them to that good land: and further, seeing the land of Canaan was a type of that heauenlie Canaan, they beleeued not that God would bring them to heauen, and giue them inheritance in that eternall rest by meanes of the Messias. This vnbeleefe then of the promises of God was the cause of their destruction.
