Hebrews6:14

14 Saying, Surely, blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee .

Here is laid down the form and matter of God's Oath, the form in Gen. 22.16. is implied in the Particle [non-Latin text not transcribed] in this Text well rendred surely, chap. 3.11. The other defective expressions are forms of Swearing, as if, except, unless; but here it is positive, surely, or verily, which Christ frequently useth, it is a vehement assertion of what he saith; the whole matter of God's Oath is not repeated, but the substance and comprehensive part of it, which made for the Apostles purpose here. By Blessing, in the Hebrew manner of expressing, is carried the abundance and certainty of all that Temporal and Spiritual Good, which he would convey unto him in and through the Blessed and Promised Seed our Lord Jesus Christ, with the multiplicity, abundance and certainty of the Seed natural, and believing, to whom he should be related as a Father through Christ, as is evident, Gen. 22.16, 17, 18. and all this so uttered, as if God could not express how much he loved him.
