§. 89. Of forbearing such sins as have been judged in others.
Verse 8.
—As in the Provocation, in the day of temptation in the Wildernesse.
THe former point of hardening ones heart, is exemplified both by the People▪ and also by the Apostle in the patern of those Israelites, whom God broug•…•… out of Egypt, and in an especial manner tutored fourty years together in the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 dernesse.
This first particle, aAS, is a note of comparison. It being added to a Pro•…•…∣tion (thus, Harden not your hearts as such and such did) intendeth, that we sho•…•… take heed of being like unto them, who have sinned in former times: against 〈◊〉〈◊〉 sins God hath manifested his indignation: For as the sin of those ancient Israeli•…•…〈◊〉〈◊〉 distinctly set down, v. 8, 9. so also Gods just indignation against them, v. 10, 11.
This may be a good caveat to us, in reading the sins of others in former 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (especially those that are registred in sacred Scripture) and in observing such •…•…∣dences as are recorded of Gods displeasure against them, to take heed that we 〈◊〉〈◊〉 not into the same, or the like sins. See §. 95, 158. See more of this point on C•…•… 13. 5. §. 68.
