Amen, is here certain, undoubtedly certain, as it is here to make way to that which is to be understood.
There are three main senses of Amen; It signifies that a thing is positively so, and not no, it is so. Yea, and Amen, signify that such a thing is; as, 1Let your yea be yea; such a thing is. But now, Amen is more, not only that a thing is, but it is so truly, and so unchangeably; it is Yea, and Amen. The Promises are yea, they are made in Christ, and then they are true in him, undoubtedly, eternally, unchangeably true.
