2. Yet you say, that [you no where find any promise to a wicked man.] Why then you have found but a few of the Scripture promises. I have showed you, that the absolute promise of a new and soft heart is made to wicked men, and the great conditional promise of the Gospel: Would you have particular examples? In Gen. 4. 7. there is to Cain a conditional promise of acceptance, and the donation of Superiority and Government. Gen. 9. 11, 12. There is a Covenant betwixt God and every living Creature. Gen. 27. 39, 40. Isaac is Gods mouth in blessing Esau: Were all the Israelites godly, to whom the Land of Canaan was promised and given? 1 Sam. 10. 4, 5, 6, 7. There the Spirit of God and other favours are promised to Saul. 1 King. 11. 31, 32, 33, 38, 39. There are promises to Jeroboam. How many score places in the Psalms and ⟨p. 244⟩Prophet, do mention promises and Covenants of God to ungodly Israelites? If I should instance in all the promises made to Ahab Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, Darius, &c. it would be tedious.
