3. It is declared who they were to whom God intended to give this Evidence 1of the Immutability of his Counsel, and that is, [Greek or Hebrew], to the Heirs of Promise, that is, Believers, all Believers, both under the Old and New Testament. It may be indeed that those of the Hebrews were in the first place intended. For unto them did the Promise belong in the first place, as they were the natural Seed of Abraham, and unto them was it first to be declared and proposed upon its Accomplishment, Acts 2. 29. Acts 3. 25. Acts 13. 46. But it is not they alone who are intended. All the Children of the Faith of Abraham are ⟨p. 159⟩Heirs also, Gal. 4. 27, 28. It is therefore with respect unto all Believers absolutely, that God confirmed his Promise with his Oath, though the natural Seed of Abraham was respected in the first place, until they cut off themselves by their Unbelief. See Luke 1. 72. Micah 7. 20.
