It contains the principal conclusion of the whole Sermon, as appears by the illative particle, Therefore; and the necessity of the consequence it self, certainly know, therefore, &c.

The arguments from which it is deduced, are testimonies of preceding Prophets, and the present effusion of the holy Spirit, which could be the effect of none other, but of Christ the Lord or the Messiah.
