shadow_n the_o other_o have_v the_o substance_n itself_o three_o they_o differ_v in_o this_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o itself_o be_v but_o weak_a and_o unprofitable_a as_o you_o shall_v see_v

therefore_o it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n the_o testament_n that_o continue_v for_o ever_o four_o they_o differ_v in_o the_o confirmation_n this_o second_o testament_n the_o new_a testament_n be_v confirm_v by_o a_o oath_n and_o confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o testator_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n whereas_o the_o other_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o goat_n 2d_o as_o

confirm_v the_o covenant_n but_o this_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o according_o it_o have_v new_a seal_n put_v to_o it_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n when_o the_o old_a testament_n have_v other_o seal_n circumcision_n and_o the_o passeover_n five_o they_o differ_v in_o this_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o be_v a_o more_o clear_a

they_o shall_v know_v in_o another_o manner_n they_o shall_v know_v it_o more_o distinct_o more_o particular_o moreover_o as_o the_o knowldege_n be_v great_a so_o the_o promise_n be_v better_a promise_n heb._n 8._o 6._o 6._o but_o now_o our_o high_a priest_n have_v obtain_v a_o more_o excellent_a office_n in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o a_o better_a testament_n establish_v upon_o better_a promise_n the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v this_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v make_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n though_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n be_v not_o

see_v the_o old_a testament_n much_o insist_o upon_o that_o the_o new_a testament_n meddle_v little_a with_o they_o but_o with_o promise_n of_o salvation_n remission_n of_o sin_n sanctification_n by_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n here_o it_o be_v establish_v upon_o better_a promise_n and_o again_o there_o be_v a_o large_a effusion_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n be_v now_o pour_v on_o we_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n than_o it_o be_v distil_v by_o drop_n now_o the_o lord_n have_v dispense_v it_o in_o a_o great_a abundance_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v great_a measure_n of_o grace_n and_o it_o follow_v upon_o the_o other_o grace_n &_o truth_n come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v because_o there_o be_v more_o truth_n and_o more_o knowledge_n there_o go_v likewise_o more_o grace_n with_o it_o as_o there_o be_v a_o great_a revelation_n so_o likewise_o there_o go_v more_o grace_n that_o be_v a_o sure_a rule_n that_o all_o knowledge_n when_o it_o be_v increase_v when_o it_o be_v save_v knowledge_n teach_v by_o god_n it_o carry_v grace_n proportionable_o with_o it_o this_o be_v the_o five_o difference_n the_o last_o difference_n be_v in_o the_o mediator_n moses_n be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o be_v it_o be_v he_o that_o declare_v it_o it_o be_v he_o again_o that_o be_v the_o executioner_n of_o it_o but_o we_o have_v a_o high_a priest_n that_o have_v obtain_v a_o more_o excellent_a office_n in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o a_o better_a

a_o certain_a compact_n of_o certain_a article_n of_o agreement_n have_v reconcile_v the_o disagree_a party_n he_o have_v go_v between_o they_o as_o it_o be_v and_o have_v undertake_v for_o both_o

i_o will_v not_o stand_v long_o on_o this_o i_o come_v brief_o to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o it_o and_o leave_v the_o other_o 4_o thing_n that_o be_v with_o who_o this_o covenant_n be_v make_v how_o a_o man_n shall_v know_v whether_o he_o be_v within_o the_o covenant_n when_o this_o covenant_n be_v break_v and_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v make_v this_o covenant_n with_o man_n to_o another_o occasion_n now_o this_o use_n we_o will_v make_v of_o it_o 1_o first_o we_o may_v consider_v hence_o the_o great_a goodness_n of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o enter_v into_o

and_o earth_n shall_v be_v willing_a to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o indent_v with_o we_o as_o it_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o make_v himself_o a_o debtor_n to_o us._n if_o we_o consider_v it_o it_o be_v a_o exceed_o great_a mercy_n when_o we_o think_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o he_o be_v in_o heave●_n and_o we_o be_v on_o earth_n he_o the_o glorious_a god_n w●e_v dust_n and_o ash_n he_o the_o creator_n and_o we_o but_o creature_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n which_o imply_v kind_a of_o equality_n between_o we_o as_o when_o jonathan_n and_o david_n make_v a_o covenant_n though_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n the_o one_o be_v a_o king_n son_n yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o the_o covenant_n of_o

covenant_n with_o us._n belove_v this_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o magnify_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v as_o david_n do_v what_o be_o i_o or_o what_o be_v my_o father_n house_n that_o i_o shall_v be_v raise_v hitherto_o that_o i_o shall_v enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o the_o great_a god_n that_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o a_o campact_n and_o agreement_n with_o i_o that_o he_o shall_v tie_v himself_o and_o bind_v himself_o to_o become_v 〈…〉_z you_o know_v 〈…〉_z small_a thing_n to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n to_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o the_o
