Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 32:40

40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them to do them good , but I will put my fear into their hearts, that they shall not depart from me .

This promise manifestly r[illegible: 1 letter]lateth to those Jews that should receive the Lord Jesus Christ o[illegible: 1 letter] that were Israelites indeed; for as to others, God did turn away from doing them good, when their City was taken by Titus; unless it be to be understood of a national conversion of the Jews, not yet effected.

My spirit which shall beget in them a dread of me, so as they shall not depart from me, Hence some conclude well that when once the body of the Jews shall be converted, they shall never again apos[illegible: 1 letter]atize from God. It may well from hence be concluded that both Conversion unto God, and perseverance in the wayes of God are the gifts of God, we are kept by the power of God, through faith unto Salvation.
