GOD gave unto his people, on conditions,
The Land of Promise, to be their possessions;
And, for their not performing of the same,
They Vagabonds throughout the world became.
Upon conditions also, Solomon
Had promise of an everlasting Throne:
VVhich he neglecting, ere the third descent,
Ten parts of twelve were from his Kingdome rent.
Yea, wicked Jeroboam might have had
A settlement on him for ever made,
Upon the like conditions: and, so may
This King; but never any other way.
