SECT. LXXXVII, to XCIV.
R. B. IN Psal. 102.28. It is a general promise, the children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee. It is usual in the Old Testament to express Gods favour by temporal blessings, more than in the Gospel; but yet still they secure us of his favour. As, I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, might secure Joshua more than us of temporal successes, and yet not more of Gods never failing favour.
There is a stable promise to all Gods people in general that have children, Psal. 103.17. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children. And to be secured by promise of Gods mercy and righteousness is the state of none without the Church.
