Secondly, hee hath this honour, that he is the first man that is blessed vnder the name of God expressely: thirdly, by calling God the God of Sem, he shewes that onely Sem and his posteritie shall onely wor∣ship and know the •…•…true God: fourthly, of Sem came Christ according to the flesh; who here is called the God of Sem: fifthly, in this blessing is included the land of Canaan, which then Sem in his posteritie did inioy, when Canaan became his seruant: sixthly, in that he doth not blesse Sem in his own name, but vnder the name of God, it showeth that eternall life is implied herein; for God hath prepared for them a Citie of whom he is not ashamed to be called there God. Heb. 11. 16.
