Another Note, [The inhabitants of the Land] lies a little more couched. The inhabitants of the Land, what Land? The inhabitants of the Land of Canaan, a controversy with them. Mark, God fulfilled his promise in bringing them into the Land of Canaan, and now he pleadeth with them for the forfeiture of their promise. Psal. 105.44, 45. he tells them that he had given them the lands of the Heathen, that they might observe his Statutes and keep his Laws, that was their condition. God fulfilled hi• part, he bringeth them into the land, but when they were in the land they minded not their part. You know God often gave them charge when they came into the land to do this and this, they promised they would do it, but when they were once brought into the land they forgot it, they forsook God. God now comes and pleads with the inhabitants of this land; As if he should say, I have done my part in bringing you into the land, now I come to plead with you for breaking your promise and covenant. Take this note from hence. [Whatsoever mercy you have from God you are to look upon it as a fruit of Gods faithfulness to you (if you be Gods) and as a ground of your obedience to him, 1and his pleading with you if you walk not answerable to it.
