we_o now_o speak_v of_o in_o that_o scripture_n heb._n 6.13_o when_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n make_v the_o promise_n to_o abraham_n because_o he_o have_v no_o great_a to_o swear_v by_o he_o swear_v by_o himself_o because_o he_o have_v no_o great_a etc._n etc._n if_o that_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o word_n which_o i_o conceive_v neither_o can_v i_o apprehend_v what_o other_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o any_o tolerable_a congruity_n of_o reason_n they_o be_v a_o strain_n of_o speech_n to_o be_v hear_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o infinite_a god_n fearful_o high_a and_o glorious_a because_o he_o have_v no_o great_a to_o swear_v by_o therefore_o he_o swear_v by_o himself_o clear_o imply_v that_o if_o he_o have_v a_o great_a than_o himself_o he_o will_v have_v swear_v by_o he_o for_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n deliver_v in_o plain_a and_o express_v term_n why_o he_o swear_v by_o himself_o because_o he_o have_v no_o great_a as_o if_o the_o infinite_a al-sufficiency_n of_o god_n himself_o do_v not_o give_v he_o that_o satisfaction_n which_o he_o desire_v for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o his_o oath_n make_v to_o the_o heir_n of_o promise_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o weakness_n and_o marvellous_a backwardness_n of_o their_o heart_n to_o believe_v unto_o perfect_a establishment_n and_o assurance_n but_o he_o will_v have_v have_v a_o great_a if_o it_o may_v have_v be_v and_o have_v pass_v by_o himself_o if_o there_o have_v be_v infinitum_fw-la infinito_fw-la infinitius_fw-la this_o have_v be_v a_o only_a choice_n for_o he_o in_o this_o case_n to_o say_v that_o the_o word_n imply_v only_o this_o god_n greatness_n above_o all_o other_o make_v the_o sense_n but_o cold_a and_o waterish_a for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o to_o declare_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n but_o rather_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o desire_n to_o satisfy_v the_o heir_n of_o promise_n as_o they_o be_v call_v that_o be_v his_o church_n and_o people_n with_o the_o strong_a and_o mighty_a consolation_n touch_v the_o truth_n and_o stableness_n of_o that_o promise_n of_o life_n by_o christ_n and_o for_o this_o purpose_n the_o word_n in_o the_o sense_n give_v be_v as_o be_v evident_a of_o mighty_a importance_n so_o desirous_a he_o be_v that_o his_o child_n shall_v be_v fill_v with_o faith_n and_o the_o strong_a consolation_n of_o it_o that_o if_o he_o have_v have_v any_o great_a or_o more_o effectual_a mean_n for_o the_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v they_o have_v be_v use_v and_o the_o word_n thus_o understand_v be_v but_o a_o expression_n and_o break_v out_o of_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o that_o love_n of_o he_o towards_o his_o child_n which_o all_o this_o while_n we_o speak_v of_o which_o move_v he_o to_o give_v his_o own_o self_n unto_o they_o if_o he_o have_v any_o great_a than_o himself_o they_o shall_v have_v have_v it_o but_o for_o himself_o they_o shall_v be_v sure_a of_o as_o we_o hear_v before_o of_o christ_n love_n mention_v

towards_o his_o church_n to_o be_v one_o cause_n or_o reason_n why_o he_o give_v they_o this_o interest_n and_o propriety_n in_o himself_o which_o the_o doctrine_n speak_v of_o a_o second_o ground_n of_o the_o point_n be_v the_o gift_n or_o bestow_v of_o jesus_n christ_n upon_o the_o world_n so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n etc._n etc._n as_o you_o
