- 1Why God pr•mised to Abraham to multiply his seed
Thus,1 2First, Abraham he left his fathers house and all his kindred at Gods command, and upon that first God made this covenant wi•h him that he would make his seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand of the Sea. As if God should have said to Abraham; Abraham be willing to leave your fathers house, I will make a great house of you, a great family of yours.
