1. That it stands in the midst of a Catalogue of promises, E••k. 20.37. I will bring you into the Bond of the Covenant: And you know with what titles of honour the Apostle hath enabled the promises? Exceeding great and precious promises.
2. That it falls under the Sanction not of a promise only, but of an oath also. Isai. 45.23. I have sworn by my self; the word is gone out of my mouth, in righteousness, and shall not return: That unto me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall swear? An oath it is the Seal of the Covenant; and this honour God hath challenged to himself by an irrevocable Oath. I have sworn, &c. That to me every tongue shall swear. Now as it was the honour of the Priesthood of Christ, above the Priests under the Law; That whereas they were made Priests by the word only of command; Christ was made a Priest by the word of Oath, by him that said unto him.
