(which thou knowest) upon thee: but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. Deut. 8.7,8,9.
& 11.14,15.The Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good Land, a Land of brookes of water, of fountaines, and depths that spring out of the vallies and hils, a Land of wheat and barley, and Vines and Fig-trees, and Pomegranates, a Land of Oile, Olive and Honey. A Land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarcenesse, thou shalt not lacke any thing in it: a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hils thou maist digge brasse. Deut. 26.18,19.The Lord hath vouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his Commandements: Deut. 28.1,2, &c.And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise and in name, and in honour, and that thou maiest be an holy people unto the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken.
Secondly, The Lord promised to chuse a place to cause his name to dwell there, and set his Tabernacle amongst them and walke with them. Lev. 26.4,5,6,

Deut. 12.10,11,

Lev. 26.10,12.And I will set my Tabernacle amongst you, and my soule shall not abhorre you: And I will walke among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. Psal. 132.13,14. For the Lord hath chosen Sion, he hath desired it for his habitation: This is my rest for ever, here will I dwell, for I have desired it.
Thirdly, Free forgivenesse of sinnes is likewise promised in this Covenant. This is implyed in that he promiseth to be their God: for if he be theirs, he will be favourable to their iniquities, and remember their sinnes no more. And so much is expressed, when upon repentance and turning unto him, he hath proclaimed himselfe ready to receive them into favour. Deut. 4.29,30If from thence thou shalt seeke the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seeke him with all thine heart, and with all thy soule. Deut. 30.1,2,3.And it shall come to passe, when all these things shall come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, And shalt returne unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children: That then the Lord thy God will turne thy Captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will returne and gather thee from all nations.
