When Moses had discoursed thus to them according to the direction
of God, the multitude, grieved, and were in affliction; and entreated Most
to procure their reconciliation to God, and to permit them no longer
to wander in the wilderness, but bestow cities upon them. But he replied,
that God would not admit of any such trial, for that God was not moved
to this determination from any human levity or anger, but that he had judicially
condemned them to that punishment. Now we are not to disbelieve that Moses,
who was but a single person, pacified so many ten thousands when they werre
in anger, and converted them to a mildness temper; for God was with him,
and prepared way to his persuasions of the multitude; and as they had often
been disobedient, they were now sensible that such disobedience was disadvantageous
to them and that they had still thereby fallen into calamities.
