5. They are sure payments. We say when an honest man passeth his word for 1a little money, O, it is a sure as if it were in the purse; Gods word of promise is much more sure: for as his nature or being is eternal, so his word of promise is unchangeable. The vision will speak, it will surely come, so Hab. 2. 3. I will plant them in this land assuredly. Jer. 32. 41. My Covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips, Psal. 89. 34. Therefore the promises are many times said to be performed before they be performed; and the things promised are said to be given and done, before they be given and done, because, when God promiseth to do his people any good, it is as sure as if it were already done.
