Deuteronomy 31

Your turning of things upside-down shall be reputed as the clay [illegible] of the potter (Isaiah 29:16): from the root [illegible] to think, desire; to form a thing of clay as the potter does. From this is the potter named [illegible] (Zechariah 11:13; Genesis 2:7; Deuteronomy…

Object. You say, But sometimes God has been pleased to bless in old time the reading of the Word to the conversion of souls; and therefore why may we not expect the like blessing upon the reading of the Gospel in these days, as well as the Law in former times? In (Deuteronomy 31…

When the Golden Calf was made, they sat down to eat, etc. And Moses foretells (Deuteronomy 31:20). When they shall have eaten and filled themselves and grown fat, then will they turn to other gods. Yet I cannot admit this of Job's children: surely he who had bestowed so much car…

2. Prudence and moderation in discourse, and so dropping is opposed to floods, that with violence overflow. 3. This phrase signifies a continuance in seasonable, prudent and edifying discourse, as Job 27:22, My words dropped on them, and Deuteronomy 31:2, My doctrine shall drop…

There is no thought hid from him, all things are naked and open before him with whom we have to do (Hebrews 4:13), or as the words may be read, before him, to whom we are to give an account. God knows our thoughts afar off (Psalm 139:2), long before they came out into words or a…

It is made with stiff-necked Israel (Deuteronomy 29; Deuteronomy 30; chapter 31; chapter 32), and that is called a Covenant from the end and object, as motions are denominated from their end: for the end of the Lord's pressing the Law upon them was to bring them under a blessed…

Both are false, as is evident, [illegible] they say in the issue what we say, and contradict themselves, to wit, that believers, and only believers, are these for whom Christ died. We before said, the promises are conditionally to all within the Visible Church, but so as the con…

2. The promises are laid down in Christ as in a public Lord-Keeper. Christ is that excellent Ark in which are the Tables of the Covenant, and the Book of the Law and Covenant (Deuteronomy 31:26; 1 Kings 8:9), and as the first subject of the promises he keeps them. Indeed, Christ…
