Expos. 33. Amen, is sometimes a title of Christ, Reu. 3. 14. because of his faithfulness and truth in performing all promises, 2. Cor. 1. 20. In the beginning of sentences, it is an earnest asseveration, Joh. 6. 26. Matth. 24. 47. Luk. 12. 44. But when it is added in the end of blessings, prayers, or imprecations, it implieth ⟨p. 134⟩both a desire of the thing so to be, and confidence that so it shall be, Num. 5. 22. Deut. 27. 15. 1. Cor. 14. 16. Christ teaching us to end our prayers with Amen, doth thereby admonish us, both to desire grace of God, and to believe that God presently heareth, and will certainly in due time grant our request, 1. Cor. 14. 16. so that coldness, doubting, distrust, are to be striven against, 1. Tim. 2. 8. Jam. 1. 6.
