§. 46. Of Scripture-proofs inculcated.
BEcause this is a matter of great concernment, to seek grace in the day of grace, the Apostle further proves it by the expresse word of Scripture; first general∣ly implied, in this phrase, As it is said. Then particularly expressed in these words, To day if you will hear, &c.
That general, As it is said, sheweth that Scripture-proof, is a sound proof: well •…•…y we rest on this, As it is said, if that which is said, be said in sacred Scripture, is 〈◊〉〈◊〉 it is. Of Scripture-proofs, See Chap. 1. v. 5. §. 65.
The particular exemplification by the very words of Scripture, further sheweth, that Scriptures are to be alledged in their own words. See Chap. 3. v. 7. §. 74.
This is the fourth time that the point here set down (in these words, To day if 〈◊〉〈◊〉 will hear his voice harden not your hearts) hath been inculcated: namely, Chap. 3. v. 7, 13, 15. and here. For it is a matter of moment; and matters of mo∣ment may be inculcated again and again.
Of repeating the same point, See Chap. 3. v. 15. § 158.
Of the meaning of these words, To day if ye will hear, &c. See Ch. 3. v. 7. §. 76, &c.
