Is this true, that God is true, that he is truth it self? then many things issue from hence: It is a ground of many other truths: It was the ground of all the Uses that S. Paul makes of the Word of God, it is profitable every way. I will name some principal, to avoid multiplicity in a plain Point.

God is true, and his Word is true; hereupon the threatenings of God 1must needs be true, even as true as God himself. If this be so, then unless we will make another Scripture, another Word, this Word is yea. That Word that threatens sin, that Idolaters, and covetous, and wantons shall never enter into the Kingdom of heaven, (Be not deceived, saith the Apostle,) that Word is yea, it is true. God is true: this must follow therefore, that whatsoever he saith is true; therefore his threatenings are true. It is a truth that hath influence into all other truths whatsoever, that which is prefixed here by S. Paul, not only as an oath, As Gad is true, so his Word is not yea, and nay, but certain: but I say it hath influence into all other truths whatsoever; threatenings, promises, directions, all are therefore true, because God is true.
