5 Compare, Deut. XXXIII. 17.
12 God often Sold His People into the Hands of their Enemies, before the Conversion of the Gentiles. But it was not an Absolute Sale; It was only a Mortgage for Years; Redeemable after the Enemy had received his pay. God passed not away His Propriety in them; He entered a Proviso of Recovery in the Command of Preserving the Evidences. [Jer. XXXII. 7] The Selling all this while was for nought. God hereby did not increase His Wealth, nor add unto the heap of the Riches of that Grace, He had made over by Covenant unto Abraham and his Offspring. If God had utterly Sold away His People before He had set up His Kingdom among the Gentiles, He had Sold them for Nought; He had lost His Visible Kingdom in the World. But now when He Sold His People in the last Roman Captivity, it is not for Nought; it has introduced another and a larger People; The Riches of the World, as the Apostle expresses it.
