Christ engages for himself, and therefore saith he in the 40. Psalm, verse 6. Sacrifice and Offering thou didst not desire, &c. Then said I, Lo I come, in the Volume of the Book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God, yea, thy Law is within my heart. They are the words of Christ; Then said I, that is, then promised I. Paulus Fagius observes, that the Hebrew hath no one proper word for Promise; but where God is said to Promise, the word in the Hebrew is only so, God said, God spake; And indeed if any man will take the pains to consult the Hebrew, and our English Translation together, he shall find it true. I'll give you some instances, and so pass over, Deut. 1.11. The Lord God of your Fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you, Heb. as he hath said. — So in the 1 Kings 8.56. Blessed be the Lord that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised, Heb. according to all that he hath said. — So in the 2 Chron. 6.10. The Lord therefore hath ⟨p. 60⟩performed his word, that he hath spoken, for I am risen up in the room of David my Father, an• am set on the Throne of Israel, as the Lord hat• promised, Heb. as the Lord hath said. — So a• the 16. verse, Now therefore O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy Servant David my Father, tha• which thou hast promised him, Hebr. that which thou hast said to him. So here in the 40. Psalm Then said I, that is, then promised I, then ingage• I unto God the Father, saying, Lo I come, in th• the Volume of the Book it is written of me; her• Christ engages for himself.
