Matthew5:18
18 For verily I say unto you, till Heaven and Earth pass, one jot, or one title shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled.
Amen I say unto you, so it is in the Greek, a Phrase as some observe never used, but by God and Christ himself who is the Amen, the Faithful and true Witness, Rev. 3.14. tho the Servants of God have sometimes used it, as an Adverb of wishing. It is by most concluded a form of an Oath, God by it Swearing by his Truth and Faithfulness [till Heaven, and Earth, &c.] that is the Law is the certain and unchangeable Will of God concerning reasonable Creatures, and it shall never be altered in the least Title, nor ever be abolishe[illegible: 1 letter], you may therefore be secure that I come into the World upon no such Errand.
