Heb. 4:2. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard (it).

Edwards' Blank Bible contains this entry:

Dr. Watts in his orthodoxy and charity says that the words should be translated "to them was the gospel preached as well as unto us"? Here see Taylor's key, p. 118. Margin. [See further this Book, p. 863-4].

On p. 863 of the Blank Bible we read:

Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached as well as unto them] Dr. Doddridge renders it, 'For we are made partakers of good tidings as they also were', i.e., of the promised rest and in his note on the preceding verse he observes the example is most suitable, being taken from their own ancestors, the evil being the same, namely, unbelief, the time resembling it, just after the establishment of a new constitution, and the consequence the same the exclusion from rest. The superiour dignity of Christ above Moses, and the superiour excellence of heaven above Canaan greatly confirm the force of the argument.

Heb. 4:3
