Genesis 15

^{1 !} The Lord is Abrams defence and rewarde.

^{1 /} Or, the Lord spake to Abram.

^{2 a} His feare was not onely lest he shulde not haue children, but lest the promes of the blessed sede shulde not be accomplished in him.

^{6 !} He is justified by faith.

^{8 b} This is a parteicular mocion of Gods Spirit, which is not lawful for all to follow in asking signes: but was permitted to some by a peculiar mocion, as to Gideon and Ezekiah.

^{10 c} This was the olde custome in making couenants, {Jerem. 34,18}: to the which God added these condicions, that Abrams posteritie shulde be as torne in pieces, but after thei shulde be coupled together: also that it shulde be assalted, but yet deliuered

^{12 /} Ebr. a feare of great darkenes. {Act. 7, 6}.

^{13 !} The servitude and deliuerance out of Egypt is declared.

^{13 d} Counting from the birthe of Izhak to their departure out of Egypt which declareth that God will suffer his to be afflicted in this worlde.

^{16 /} Or, after foure hundreth yeres.

^{16 e} Thogh God suffre the wicked for a time, yet his vengeance falleth vpon them, when the measure of their wickednes is ful.

^{18 !} The land of Canaan is promised the fourth time.

^{18 /} Ebr. Perath.
