6. Consider the great promise in the Text, The meek Motive. 6 shall inherit the Earth; [Greek or Hebrew] this Argument perhaps will prevail with those who desire to have earthly possessions*. Some may object, If I forbear and forgive, I shall lose my right at last, and be turned out of all? No, God hath here entered into Bond, the meek shall inherit the Earth. The unmeek man is in a sad condition, there is no place remains for him but hell; for he hath no promise made to him either of Earth or Heaven; 'tis the meek shall inherit the earth.
