1In respect of the office of the person who rose: which, had he remained in death, he could not have discharged: For, 1. The Mediator, who was true God and Man, should reign for ever: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever, the Sceptre of thy Kingdom is a Sceptre of righteousness. 2I will stablish the throne of his Kingdom for ever: I will be his Father, and he shall be my Son. I have sworn once by my holiness, that I will not fail David. 3His seed shall endure for ever: and his seat is like as the Sun before me. He shall stand fast for evermore as the Moon, and as the faithful witness in heaven. They shall be my people, and I will be their God, and David my servant shall be King over them, and they all shall have one shepherd. The Kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, 4shall be given to the holy people of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all powers, shall serve and obey him. The increase of his government and peace shall have none end. Of his kingdom shall be no end. It was therefore needful, that the humane nature, which was the seed of David, should be raised, that it might reign. 2. The Mediator, who was to be our brother and true Man, should ever make intercession for us, and as an everlasting Priest appear for us before God.5 Thou art a Priest for ever, according to the order of Melchizedek. It is Christ which is dead, yea, or rather which is risen again, who is also at the right hand of God, and maketh request for us.

I have sworne once by my holinesse, that I will not faile David.
