The inhabitants of the Land.] Hierome hath another note upon it, but that is further off, I will only name it. Rightly saith he are they called to answer and to judgment that are the inhabitants of the land, and do not look upon themselves as sojourners and strangers in the land; But he that can truly say with the Prophet, I am a pilgrim & a stranger here, such a one can never do that which may cause God to have a controversy against him. This is the reason men do that which causeth God to have a controversy with them, because they look upon themselves as possessors of the land, and not as pilgrims and strangers. But this is too far off.
