14Saying, Surely, blessing I will blesse thee, and multiplying I wil multiply thee. 15And so after he had patiently indured, he obtained the promise. 16For men verily sweare by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 17Wherein God willing more abundantly to shewe vnto the heyres of promise the immutabilitie of his counsell, confirmed it by an oath: 18That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lye, wee might haue a strong consolation, who haue fled for refuge to lay hold vpon the hope set before vs.
