Gods promise to his plantation· as it was delivered in a sermon

This placing of people in this or that Country, is from Gods sovereignty over all the earth, and the inhabitants thereof: as in Psal. 24.1. The earth is the Lords, and the fullness thereof. And in Jer. 10.7. God is there called, The King of Nations: and in Deut. 10.14. Therefore it is meet he should provide a place for all Nations to inhabit, and have all the earth replenished. Only in the Text here is meant some more special appointment, because God tells them it by his own mouth; he doth not so with other people, he doth not tell the children of Seir, that he hath appointed a place for them: that is, He gives them the land by promise; others take the land by his providence, but Gods people take the land by promise: And therefore the land of Canaan is called a land of promise. Which they discern, first, by discerning themselves to be in Christ, in whom all the promises are yea, and amen.
