1And withal, labour to know the gracious Promises of Christ, for we are knit to him by virtue of his word and Promises: which like himself are, Yea and Amen. JEHOVAH ⟨p. 239⟩yesterday, to day & the same for ever.2 So all his Promises made in him, they are Yea and Amen, in themselves firm, and firm to us in him. They are Yea and Amen: that is, they are made and performed in Christ, in whom they are sure to be performed, and thereupon they are firm too. God made them, who is JEHOVAH, and they are made in Christ that is JEHOVAH. So God the Father JEHOVAH, he promiseth, and he makes them good in Christ JEHOVAH, who is unchangeable.
