(2) Men think that there are still some reserves and latent Conditions in the Promises and Threatenings of God, and that God knows it shall be otherwise, than they seem to pretend. By this Imagination Satan deceived our first Parents as to the Truth of God in his Threatening. He persuaded them that there was a reserve therein, that was directly contrary unto what the ⟨p. 168⟩words of it declared; and that by transgressing of his Commands, they should not dye, but be Wise and like himself. And still men suppose that the Promises propose a fair ground indeed; but that if they should go to build upon it, there is a Mine under it, which would be sprung at one time or another unto their Ruin. They cannot apprehend that it shall be with them according unto, and as the Promise doth declare. If they should attempt to believe, yet one latent condition or other would defeat them of obtaining it; whereas indeed the whole and entire Condition of enjoying the Promise is Faith alone.
