WE have seen heretofore, how God §20hath covenanted with his people, of purpose to bind them: that every one should know his duty, and be the §30better disposed to do the same. Now he speaketh as a Judge having all authority. It skills not whether folk do plead guilty or no, when they have done amiss: for God giveth here his determinate sentence, though they consent not thereunto. Neither doeth the case concern altogether the condemning of those that offend the law; but he beginneth with another matter, to wit, with right amiable promises: thereby to allure and to win mens hearts unto him.
