At death we owe an Account also to men,§4 and stand obliged (if there be opportunity for it) to make known to them that survive us what we have seen and found of God in this world, that we may leave a testimony for God with men, and bring up a good report upon his ways. Thus dying Jacob when Joseph was come to take his last farewell of him in this world, strengthened himself and sate upon the bed, and related to him the eminent appearances of God to him, and the places where, Gen. 48. 2, 3. as also an account of his afflictions, Verse 7. So Joshua in his last speech to the people makes it his business to vindicate and clear the truth of the Promises, by recounting to them how the Providence of God had fulfilled the same to a tittle in his day. Josh. 23. 14. And behold (saith he) this day I am going the way of all the earth, and ye know in all your hearts, and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.
