Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Deuteronomy 15:3

What is a foreigner? Paul hath told us, Ephesians 2:12. Reader! do you not see from hence, that covenant blessings, and covenant mercies, are peculiar blessings and mercies. LORD! give me grace to be very earnest in searching for the tokens of being interested in the covenant; and then, grace to prize them in proportion to their infinite importance,. Reader! examine yourself by that mark, Romans 8:14. Read also with it, Romans 9:4.
