2. Some take the Word, for the word of Promise, which indeed is the livelihood of the Saints; Psal. 119. 111. Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever, they are the rejoicing of my heart.

3. Rather I think it is taken for his Providential word, or commanded Blessing: For as, God made all things by his Word, so he upholdeth all things by the word of his Power, Heb. 1. 3. His powerful word doth all in the World, Psal. 147. 15. He sendeth forth his commandment on the earth, his word runneth very swiftly, he giveth snow like wool. And then in the 18. ver. He sendeth out his word and melteth them. As the word of Creation made all things, so the word of Providence sustaineth all things. This word is spoken of, Psal. 107. 20. He sent his word, and his word healed them, and delivered them from all their destructions. 'Tis dictum factum with God, if he speak but the word 'tis all done, Math. 8. 8
