7 Threats and promises are to be understood ⟨p. 60⟩with their conditions. Those are to be conceived with the condition of faith and repentance: and these, specially if they be corporal, with the exception of chastisement and the cross. Ezech. 33. 14. When I shall say unto the wicked, Thou shalt die the death: if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful & right,—15. he shall surely live, and not die. Revel. 21. 8. But the fearful and unbelievers &c. shall have their portion in the lake, which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. But in the sixth verse he annexeth a promise, saying, I will give unto him that is a thirst of the well of the water of life freely. Jonah 3. 4. Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be subverted. By those things which follow it appeareth that a condition is to be understood. Jerem. 18. 19.
