15. The Lord saith by Isaiah, I will defend the City to save it for mine own sake, and for David my servants sake: 1Therefore we are heard also for the merit and intercession of the Saints. Ans. This protection and preserving of the City is not promised in respect ⟨p. 567⟩of Davids merit, but in respect of Gods promise of the Messiah, which should be born of Davids posterity. Repl. The delivery of the City from the siege of the Assyrians, is not promised and performed in respect of the promise of the Messiah, because that promise might have been fulfilled without the benefit of delivery, as also it was fulfilled after the taking and overthrow of the City. Ans. They err that restrain Christs benefit to those things or promises only, without the performance whereof, the promise made unto David, concerning the Messiah, could not have been kept. For all the benefits and blessings of God, both corporal and spiritual; both before, and after the Messiah was exhibited; as well those, without which the promise of the Messiah could, as those, without which it could not be fulfilled, are all performed unto the Church for the Messiah sake. For all the promises of God in him are, Yea, and are in him, Amen. 2And so doth the Scripture expound the like kinds of speaking, as 1 Kings 13. Deut. 7. Lastly, the benefits which God also performeth unto the wicked posterity of the godly, are attributed to the godliness of their godly parents, not of merit, but of mercy, and for the truth of Gods promises. As, Exod. 20. & 32. & Deut. 4.16.
