I charge you, &c.
The Hebrew word here translated, I charge, sig∣nifieth to sweare, or to adjure, or earnestly to charge, &c. It hath also the signification of seven, which is a mysticall number, Gen. 2. 3. and some give the rea∣son of it to be this, because an oath is confirmed by seven, that is by many witnesses. The word also sig∣nifieth to satisfie, because he to whom we sweare must be contented. An adjuration is neere of kinde to a curse, and sometimes one is put for an other, as ap∣pears in Gen. 24. 8. Josh. 6. 26. Hence it sheweth the weightinesse of this speech.

Hence Observe.
That the Saints are very serious in the things of Christ.
Here the Church layes such a weighty and strict charge on the Daughters of Jerusalem. True, good, gracious, and heavenly impressions upon the heart, will be very strong and vehement in expressions, as here the Churches are, saying, I charge you, &c. Now followeth the parties thus charged.
