The second thing was this, That the seed of Jacob are 1the inheritors of the Land of Canaan; for so he told him, The Land wherein thou liest, I'll give to thee, and to thy seed. Now this concerns us, that the seed of Jacob shall inherit the Land of Canaan, That was typified by it. There are some that have a thought that yet there shall be an inheritance of the Land of Canaan by the faithful seed of Jacob, but however, this certainly he spake to us, that all the seed of Jacob are the Inheritors of the Land of Canaan one way or other, take it in the Literal, or in the Typical Sense.

The Third thing was, God would have faith raised to believe 1in mercies promised, even when there is a great deal of unlikelihood of the fulfilling of it; that's the Third thing he he spake of to us there; he tells Jacob there at that time when he was a poor, lone man, with his staff, and no provision but a stone for his pillow, then he tells him of making good his promise, it was as unlikely a time as could be, a poor, lone man that Jacob was, went over with his staff at that time, and that he should have such a Promise fulfilled, and his seed to be so great, and to inherit the hand of Canaan, how unlikely was this? But God would have him to exercise his faith upon the Promise at this time when there was such a great unlikelihood of it.
