Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Deuteronomy 28:1

CONTENTS

This Chapter is a continuation of the former, and is in fact part of it. The curses having been proclaimed in the foregoing, the blessings are subjoined in this. But I conceive that this Chapter is partly prophetical, for many of the things spoken of; were fulfilled in the successive periods of the church. The Christian Reader will find, under GOD the HOLY GHOST'S teaching, much of gospel veiled under the several parts of it, which I hope the LORD will bless to his perusal.
