SECT. LXXXVI.
R. B. The second Commandment, Exod. 20.5, 6. Deut. 5.9, 10. I think is a law, and containeth a promise or premiant part, wherein he promiseth to show mercy to the generations or children of them that love him and keep his Commandments: of which I have also spoken elsewhere, to which I refer you. I see no reason to doubt but here is a standing promise, and discovery of Gods resolution, concerning the children of all that love him, whether Jews or Gentiles, to whom this Commandment belongs: nor to doubt whether this mercy imply Church-membership: And that this is fetched from the very gracious nature of God, I find in his proclaiming his Name to Moses, Exod. 34.6, 7.
