many_o time_n comfort_v in_o it_o but_o we_o be_v not_o to_o live_v upon_o in-coming_n of_o promise_n but_o we_o be_v to_o go_v out_o to_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n

the_o 34._o psal_n they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n shall_v not_o want_v any_o good_a thing_n plead_v this_o promise_n let_v hunger_n and_o want_n drive_v you_o to_o the_o promise_n again_o do_v

that_o every_o believer_n be_v a_o heir_n of_o the_o promise_n though_o a_o poor_a weak_a frail_a creature_n yet_o a_o heir_n of_o the_o promise_n this_o we_o ought_v to_o live_v upon_o in_o time_n of_o trouble_n but_o then_o there_o be_v another_o thing_n concern_v melchisedeck_n blessing_n abraham_n that_o have_v receive_v the_o promise_n the_o question_n here_o may_v be_v what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o melchisedecks_n blessing_n of_o abraham_n who_o have_v god_n promise_n for_o abraham_n be_v happy_a enough_o in_o the_o promise_n if_o he_o have_v not_o meet_v melchisedeck_v to_o have_v blessed_v he_o for_o answer_v hereunto_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n give_v for_o it_o first_o of_o all_o it_o be_v melchisedecks_n place_n and_o office_n for_o he_o be_v priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n to_o bless_v they_o that_o do_v belong_v to_o god_n for_o you_o read_v of_o three_o sort_n of_o person_n in_o scripture_n bless_v other_o parent_n bless_v their_o child_n king_n blessing_n their_o subject_n and_o minister_n blessing_n their_o people_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o numb_a 6._o 23._o speak_v unto_o aaron_n and_o to_o his_o son_n say_v on_o this_o wise_a shall_v you_o bless_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v unto_o they_o the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o the_o lord_n make_v his_o face_n to_o shine_v upon_o thou_o and_o be_v gracious_a unto_o thou_o the_o lord_n lift_v up_o his_o countenance_n upon_o thou_o and_o give_v thou_o peace_n now_o that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o ceremony_n of_o the_o old_a law_n that_o minister_n and_o priest_n shall_v bless_v the_o people_n appear_v by_o the_o new_a testament_n because_o the_o apostle_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o their_o epistle_n do_v use_v to_o conclude_v their_o epistle_n with_o benediction_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o here_o intend_v and_o therefore_o 2._o this_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n it_o be_v a_o blessing_n of_o ratification_n to_o confirm_v abraham_n in_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v the_o principal_a reason_n of_o melchisedecks_n blessing_n of_o abraham_n that_o he_o may_v be_v ratify_v and_o confirm_v in_o his_o faith_n concern_v the_o promise_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o strong_a faith_n have_v need_n of_o strengthen_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o saint_n do_v need_v confirmation_n it_o be_v say_v of_o abraham_n in_o rom._n 4._o that_o be_v not_o weak_a in_o faith_n he_o stagger_v not_o at_o the_o promise_n verse_n 20._o yet_o if_o you_o look_v into_o another_o scripture_n you_o will_v find_v abraham_n sometime_o stagger_v at_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n through_o unbelief_n for_o if_o you_o look_v into_o gen._n 15._o 1._o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o he_o fear_v not_o abraham_n i_o be_o thy_o shield_n and_o exceed_v great_a reward_n then_o say_v abraham_n lord_n god_n what_o will_v thou_o give_v i_o see_v i_o go_v childless_a and_o the_o steward_n of_o my_o house_n be_v this_o eliezer_n of_o damascus_n abraham_n have_v the_o promise_n of_o a_o seed_n before_o in_o chap._n 12._o but_o he_o sometime_o stagger_v at_o the_o promise_n abraham_n be_v at_o first_o weak_a in_o faith_n but_o after_o god_n have_v confirm_v his_o faith_n by_o this_o mean_n than_o abraham_n believe_v the_o lord_n so_o abraham_n be_v once_o weak_a in_o faith_n but_o now_o he_o be_v strong_a in_o faith_n again_o abraham_n also_o grow_v strong_a in_o faith_n by_o a_o high_a confirm_a mean_n and_o that_o be_v the_o oath_n of_o god_n heb._n 6._o 14._o sure_o in_o blessing_n i_o will_v bless_v thou_o so_o that_o abraham_n that_o be_v commend_v for_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o faith_n he_o be_v once_o weak_a in_o faith_n till_o god_n have_v confirm_v his_o faith_n this_o way_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o melchisedeck_n bless_v he_o and_o also_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o strengthen_n of_o his_o faith_n carry_v he_o abroad_o and_o bid_v he_o look_v now_o towards_o the_o heaven_n and_o tell_v the_o star_n if_o thou_o be_v able_a to_o number_v they_o and_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o so_o shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v and_o then_o he_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o count_v it_o to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n now_o the_o reason_n of_o weakness_n in_o faith_n be_v these_o 1._o here_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n and_o therefore_o believe_v but_o in_o part_n 2._o the_o flesh_n be_v weak_a in_o all_o believer_n christ_n say_v the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v weak_a 3._o those_o that_o have_v most_o faith_n be_v common_o most_v assault_v by_o satan_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n of_o the_o most_o confirm_a mean_n when_o our_o saviour_n see_v peter_n firm_a in_o his_o profession_n of_o faith_n say_v christ_n satan_n have_v desire_v to_o winnow_v thou_o like_o wheat_n but_o i_o have_v pray_v for_o thou_o that_o thy_o faith_n fail_v not_o ahraham_n though_o he_o have_v the_o promise_n yet_o he_o want_v a_o melchisedeck_v to_o bless_v he_o now_o the_o three_o thing_n be_v melchisedeck_n be_v without_o beginning_n of_o day_n or_o end_n of_o life_n aaron_n son_n and_o all_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n they_o die_v but_o melchisedeck_v he_o live_v he_o live_v in_o

a_o strange_a instance_n of_o this_o

the_o psalmist_n cry_v out_o lord_n what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o be_v so_o mindful_a of_o he_o but_o what_o be_v this_o work_n of_o creation_n to_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n by_o our_o lord_n
