Thirdly, This once, may be taken exclusively; so i• Scripture, once is once and no more, once and not again; or as we say, once for all, and so it is opposed to the repeating and acting over of the same thing. Thus Abisha said to David (1 Sam: 26.8.) God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day, now therefore l•• me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear, even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time. Once smiting is there opposed to smiting more then once; As if he had said, I ⟨p. 268⟩will pay him home, or dispatch him at once, there will be no need to fetch another blow. Thus when the Apostle had said in the Epistle to the Hebrews (Chap: 9.27.) It is appointed unto men once to dye, and after this the judgement, presently he addeth, So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; there also once is opposed to twice, or a second time, excluding all repetition of the sacrifice of Christ. As 'tis said (Heb: 10.10.) By the which will we are sanctified, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And therefore the same Apostle in the same Chapter (v. 26.) terrifieth Apostates with this dreadful doom; If we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins; that is, neither will Christ give up himself to be a sacrifice again for such as have (after light received about it, and some seeming closings with it) cast off that his sacrifice, nor can any other sacrifice be given. In this sense also sometimes God speaks, once, He speaks once and will speak no more, once and not a second time; though we have a twice here in the text, yet, I say, in some cases and unto some persons, God speaketh once and will not speak again. Whence take this observation or Admonition rather.
Thirdly, This once, may be taken exclusively; so i• Scripture, once is once and no more, once and not againe; or as we say, once for all, and so it is opposed to the repeating and acting over of the same thing. Thus Abisha sayd to David (1 Sam: 26.8.) God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day, now therefore l•• me smite him, I pray thee, with the speare, even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
