Vers. 28. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee.

:881p. 274

¹Thou shalt decree. The word here translated to decree, signifies properly to divide, to cut asunder. So it is used (1 Kings 3.25.) when Solomon gave sentence between the two women that were harlots concerning the living Child, he saith, Divide the Child; my decree is that the Child shall be divided. Now hence by a Trope, the word signifies also to decree, to decide, or to determine a matter, because in all decrees about or determinations of a Controversy, there is (as it were) a Cutting off the business, a laying aside of one thing, and a sticking to another. When the whole matter is debated and weighed in Counsel, then the result and issue of all is drawn up and given out in a decree. So that to decree is to divide, or separate one thing from another, resolving upon that, which we conceive most just, and reasonable.

Now hence by a Trope, the word signifies also to decree, to descide, or to determine a matter, because in all decrees about or determinations of a Controversie, there is (as it were) a Cutting off the buisines, a laying aside of one thing, and a sticking to another. When the whole matter is debated and weighed in Councell, then the result and issue of all is drawne up and given out in a decree. So that to decree is to divide, or separate one thing from another, resolving upon that, which we conceive most just, and reasonable.
