§. 2. Of the inference made upon Christs excellency.
HEB. 2. 1. Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, least at any time we should let them slip.
IN the five first verses of this Chapter the Apostle declares a duty to be performed in regard of that excellent Teacher which God sent (namely his Son, more excellent then the excellentest mere creature) to reveal his Gospel to men. This duty is to give more then ordinary heed unto that Gospel. Thus much is intended under this particle of inference, Therefore: or as it is in the Greek, *for this; even for this cause. Because God hath vouchsafed so excellent a Teacher, he must be the more carefully attended unto. Of this particle of inference, see chap. 1. §. 117.
