These words are a description of the constancy and perseverance of the Old Testament Saints in holiness, notwithstanding all the difficulties and discouragements they met with. They did not only live in the faith, but they continued in it till death, and dyed in the same faith in which they lived. All these dyed in the faith.
THese words are a description of the constancy and perseverance of the Old Testament Saints in holinesse, notwithstanding all the difficulties and discouragements they met with. They did not only live in the faith, but they continued in it till death, and dyed in the same faith in which they lived. All these dyed in the faith.
In the words we have two parts. First, The persons mentioned. Secondly, The things mentioned concerning these persons.
1. The persons mentioned, these all. That is, (as some would have it) all the forementioned Saints, Abel, ⟨p. 2⟩Noah, Abraham, Sarah, &c. (except Enoch who dyed not, and yet continued in the faith, and in that faith was taken up) These all. But I conceive that the Holy Ghost 1principally and directly, intends only such of the forenamed Saints, who were heirs of the land of promise, and sojourned in Canaan as in a strange Country. These all. That is, all those who lived in the second world after the flood, Abraham, and Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob; the Husband, and the Wife; the Father, the Son, and the Grandchild. These all.
