Secondly, you shall observe that afterwards God confirmed this covenant to Abraham, and that with an oath. It is very observable, when he came first out of his country, and left his fathers house, God made this promise of the increasing of his seed, but not with an oath; but afterwards in Gen. 22 16. God renews this promise of multiplying his seed, and that by an Oath; for saith he, By my self have I sworn, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the Sea shore. Mark here, It was upon Abraham's being willing to offer up his son Isaac, his only son Isaac. Abraham was willing at Gods command to offer • ship own son, and upon that God promiseth to multiply his seed as the stats of heaven, and as the sand of the sea. Yea he comes in with an oath, By my self I swear, saith the Lord, that I will do it, because thou hast done this.
