Before I pass from this point, it will be needful to answer some Objections which are raised against it from those Scriptures, which seem to say, that God is not of one mind, or that his mind doth alter and change.

First, That report which Moses makes of God, seems to say so, (Gen. 6.6.) And it repented the Lord, that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart: What is repentance, but the change of the mind? therefore he that repents is not in one mind. Seeing then God repents, how is he unchangeably in one mind? A like appearance of contradiction, we find (1 Sam. 15.) not only with this text in Job, but between the 11th verse compared with the 29th of the same Chapter. The 11•h verse speaks thus; Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, saying, it repenteth me that ⟨p. 425⟩I have set up Saul to be King &c. (ver. 29.) And also the strength of Israel will not lie, nor repent; for he is not a man that he should repent. The strength or victory of Israel, is God, for it was by his strength that Israel had all his victories; and of him Samuel saith, He will not repent, when as himself had said a little before, It repenteth me &c. To these Scriptures we may add 2 Kings 20th, which in words holds out a great change in the mind of God concerning Hezekiah, if we compare the first and the fifth verses of that Chapter together (ver. 1.) In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death, and the Prophet Isaiah, the son of Amos, came to him and said unto him, thus saith the Lord, set thine house in order, for thou shalt dye and not live. Here is a strong affirmation that Hezekiah should dye; And to the affirmative the negative is also added; Thou shalt dye, and not live. 'Tis the strongest manner of asserting any thing, when the contrary is denied. As it is said of John the Baptist (
