The Note of Connection [Greek or Hebrew], may respect ver. 17; where the same Testimony now insisted upon, is introduced, and so may intimate a farther pursuit of the same ⟨p. 211⟩1Argument. If so, the other two verses, 18, 19. are inserted as a Parenthesis, comprising an inference of what the Apostle had before proved, with the Reasons of it. For whereas before he had only made use of the words of the Father unto Christ, thou art a Priest for ever, and thereon showed what would thence follow; he now proceeds to declare the manner how those words were spoken, namely, with an Oath. Or it may respect the words immediately foregoing, namely, the bringing in of a better hope; for it was brought in by an Oath: and this sense is followed by most Translators, who supply the Defect in these words by the repetition of a better Hope. But although neither of those suppositions concerning the connection of the words, doth prejudice the sense or Design of them, yet as we have observed before, [Greek or Hebrew], For, oftentimes is as much as moreover, as it is rendred, etiam, by Beza; and then it denotes not an immediate connection with, or dependence on what went before in particular, but only a Process in the same general Argument. And so it is here a note of Introduction, of a new special consideration for the confirmation of the same Design. Thence our Translators supply the words, not with any thing that went before, but with what follows after, which the Apostle designed now in particular to speak unto, he was made a Priest.
