True it is, that Moses meant the land of Canaan, because he spake to the people of Israel which were to be settled there. Therefore as in respect of that people it was a particular lesson.1 Yet notwithstanding, not even we at this day can set our foot in any place, but that we be after a sort harboured there by God. Therefore we must all of us hope for the blessing that was promised in old time too the Jews, of bringing them into the land that was behyghted them for their inheritance.

A man might move other questions here. For we see some that ⟨image 328⟩are disobedient too their fathers and mothers, which notwithstanding do live still, and othersome which are of a good, gentle, and tractable nature, do dye: so as God should seem too disannul the promise that he made in his law. The answer hereto is this. That God doth them no wrong whom he calleth out of this world too take up to himself, neither doth he appair their state. But too the intent we may have an evidenter and easier answer: let us mark that things fall not always out alike as in respect of temporal promises.
