Vers. 7. THe generall proposition noted, §. 43. is here in the seventh verse ex∣presly set down: namely, that he who blesseth is greater then he 〈◊〉〈◊〉 he blesseth.
So true and sure is this proposition, as the Apostle premiseth this phrase of asseve∣ration, without all contradiction.
The Greek noun translated, a 1.1 contradiction, is the same that was used, Chap. 6. 〈◊〉〈◊〉. 16. §. 121. and translated, strife. The notation of the word was there de∣clared.
b 1.2 This generall particle, all, addeth emphasis, and implieth, that none that is of understanding can or will deny the truth of the foresaid assertion.
This manner of asseveration, as it setteth forth the certainty of the thing it self, so a duty on our part, which is, to yeeld to the truth thereof, and not oppose a∣gainst it.
From this particular instance, may well be inferred this generall observation.
There are principles so infallibly true, as they admit no doubt, or despute thereabout. The Apostle about another and greater principle useth a like assevera∣tion, c 1.3 without controversie, 1 Tim. 3. 16. To like purpose this phrase is used, This i•…•… a faith•…•…ull saying, and worthy all acc•…•…ptation. 1 Tim. 1. 15. and 4. 9.
