The next point is, our God hath given it unto us, which is the Lord and distributer of all things humane. He brinketh his argument from the gift of God.1 And that God might give and distribute kingdoms, the very Ethnic authors also saw. And therefore in Virgil Aeneas doth so often boast, that he by the commandment of God went into Italy, and for that cause would not abide either at Carthage, or in Sicily, when he mought have obtained either of those kingdoms.2 Augustine in his .v. book De civitate dei, the .xxviii. chap. Of kingdoms saith he, and Provinces it is certain that God distributeth them, both when, and how much, and to whom he will: and that by secrete judgements, but not unjust. In the book of Genesis, God promised unto Abraham and his posterity, the land of Canaan: but he promised it after four hundred years. Now, saith he, I will not give it, for as yet the since of the Canaanites are not full. I will not cast them out now, but I will tarry till their iniquity be come to the highest: afterward I will bring you in. Also in the second chapter of Deuteronomy, it is written that the Horites dwelled in mount Seir, which were men expert in wars and very valiant, whom God saith he drave out of those mountains, that the Children of Esau might possess the land. And in the same chapter he testifieth that he did cast out the people of Emim, & gave their kingdoms unto the Ammonites, and drave out Zanzumim out of their places, and placed the Moabites there.
The next poynt is, our God hath geuen it vnto vs, whiche is the Lorde and distributer of all thinges humane. He brinketh his argument from the gyfte of God.1 And that God might geue and distribute kingdomes, the verye Ethnike authours also sawe. And therefore in Virgil Eneas doth so often boast, that hee by the commaundement of God went into Italy, and for that cause would not abide either at Carthage, or in Sicilia, when he mought haue obtained either of those kingdomes.2 Augustine in his .v. booke De ciuitate dei, the .xxviii. chap. Of kingdomes sayth he, and Prouinces it is certaine that God distributeth them, both when, and how muche, and to whom hee wyll: and that by secrete iudgementes, but not vniust. In the booke of Genesis, God promised vnto Abraham and his posterity, the land of Chanaan: but hee promised it after foure hundred yeares. Now, saith he, I wyl not geue it, for as yet the synnes of the Chananites are not full. I wyll not cast them out now, but I wyll tary tyll their iniquitye be come to the hyghest: afterward I wyll bring you in. Also in the seconde chapter of Deutronomy, it is written that the Horites dwelled in mount Seir, which were men experte in warres and very valiant, whom God sayth he draue oute of those mountaynes, that the Chyldren of Esau myght possesse the lande. And in the same chapter he testifieth that he dyd cast out the people of Emim, & gaue their kingdomes vnto the Ammonites, and draue out Zanzumim oute of theyr places, and placed the Moabites there.
