18 Arife, lift up the Lad, and hold him in thine Hand: for I will make him a great Nation.

22 Seeft thou how FAITH WROUGHT with his WORKS, and by Works was FAITH made PERFECT?

23 And the Scripture was fulfilled

which faith, ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, and it was IMPUTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called

the FRIEND of GOD.

3 And Abraham rofe up early in the Morning, and faddled his Afs, and took two of his young Men with him, and Ifaac his Son; and clave the Wood for the Burntoffering, and rofe up, and went unto the Place of which GOD had told him.

4 Then on the THIRD Day Abraham lift up his Eyes, and faw the Place afar off.

12 And he faid, Lay not thine Hand upon the Lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou feareft GOD, feeing thou haft not WITHHELD thy Son, thine ONLY SON from me.

13 And Abraham lifted up his Eyes, and looked, and behold, behind him a Ram caught in a Thicket by his Horns: And Abraham went and took the Ram, and offered him up for a Burnt-offering, in the STEAD of his Son.

14 And Abraham had called the Name of that Place Jehovah-jireh as it is faid to this Day, in the Mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

15 And the ANGEL of the LORD called unto Abraham out of Heaven the fecond time,

16 s And faid, By MY SELF have I swORN, faith the LORD, because thou haft done this Thing, and haft not withheld thy Son, thine ONLY SON.

17 That in BLESSING I will BLESS THEE, and in multiplying I will multiply thy Seed as the Stars of the Heaven, and as the Sand which is upon the Sea-fhore; and thy Seed fhall poffefs the Gate of his Enemies.

18 And in thy SEED fhall all the NATIONS of the Earth be BLESSED: because thou haft OBEYED my VOICE.

18 That by TWO IMMUTABLE Things in which it was impoffible for GOD to LIE, we might have a STRONG CONSOLATION, who have fled for Refuge to lay hold upon the HOPE fet before us. 19 Which HOPE we have as an ANCHOR of the Soul both fure and ftedfaft, and which entreth into that within the Vail,
