To this Remembrance of former mercies, God adds Secondly, A treble Promise: First, That they should be [Greek or Hebrew]. Segullah, a word that hath none to declare it by. We render it here, and elsewhere, a peculiar Treasure, Eccles. 2.8. it is rendered by our Apostle, Titus 2.14. [Greek or Hebrew], a peculiar people: and by another [Greek or Hebrew], 1 Pet. 2.9. which we translate in like manner. Secondly, That they should be [Greek or Hebrew], a Kingdom of Priests, that is, [Greek or Hebrew], of Princes, saith Jarchi, as David's Sons who were Princes, are said to be [Greek or Hebrew]. And it is not denied; but that the word is sometimes so used. But whereas here it intendeth the special separation and dedication of the people unto God after the manner of Priests, thence the allusion is taken, the dignity of Princes being included in that of a Kingdom. And this Peter renders [Greek or Hebrew]; a Kingly Priesthood. And in the translation of this privilege over unto Believers under the Gospel, it is said, that by Christ they are made Kings and Priests unto God, Rev. 1.6. it is added, that they should be an Holy Nation, as expressly, 1 Pet. 2.9.
