Oh, but I have a threatening set on upon my heart. Object.
Oh, but I have a threatning set on upon my heart. Object.
Be it so, yet thou mayest believe the promise, Answ. although the threatening have taken hold upon thee, and filled thee with trouble, for God does therefore threaten, that he may make way to a Promise; Gods promises don't make way to his threatenings; but his threatenings make way to his Promises. God does therefore threaten that he may not fulfil: but God does therefore promise that he may fulfil: and therefore though the threatening have taken hold upon thine heart, and thou liest under the apprehension of Gods displeasure, get away to the promise, rest upon the promise.
