Hebrews4:7

7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David , To day, after so long a time ; as it is said, To day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts .

This is a further Proof, that David did not mean or intend the rest of the Iews in Canaan, in the 95th Psalm, from the determined time of it; as if the Spirit had said, besides what I have proved, take another Argument; Again I argue. God by the Prophet setteth out, and severeth from all other Time a certain stated Day, from which the Rest spoken of, is cleared, and of it testifieth by him, Psalm 95.7, 8.

After 400 Years past of Israel's Rest in Canaan, which was a long Time, doth David say of to day, a Time present, then and further to be extended, even the Gospel-day, in David's Time, and after it, not in Ioshua's, for that was past long before.

Ye ought to day to hear, receive, and believe the Gospel of God's Rest, and not by Unbelief to turn your Hearts from the Voice of God in the Gospel.
