good_a and_o evil_n but_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v like_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n yet_o this_o must_v be_v right_o understand_v for_o god_n mind_n use_v the_o law_n as_o he_o do_v his_o whole_a

if_o god_n intend_v to_o show_v moses_n his_o wonderful_a effect_n but_o not_o the_o reason_n of_o they_o nor_o last_o that_o moses_n desire_v to_o see_v the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n in_o glory_n like_o that_o vision_n of_o transfiguration_n therefore_o i_o judge_v this_o most_o literal_a that_o although_o it_o be_v say_v ver_fw-la 11._o that_o moses_n speak_v with_o god_n face_n to_o face_n which_o argue_v familiarity_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o even_o than_o god_n be_v clothe_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o cloud_n interpose_v itself_o now_o moses_n he_o desire_v that_o god_n will_v manifest_v

scripture_n which_o trouble_v the_o learned_a much_o that_o seem_v to_o oppose_v this_o and_o to_o make_v the_o write_n upon_o the_o second_o table_n to_o be_v immediate_o the_o act_n of_o moses_n and_o mediate_o only_a of_o god_n because_o he_o command_v and_o direct_v moses_n to_o do_v so_o the_o place_n that_o seem_v to_o oppose_v this_o be_v exod._n 34._o 27_o 28._o i_o confess_v if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o coherence_n of_o these_o text_n we_o shall_v find_v some_o thing_n difficult_a but_o two_o thing_n will_v help_v to_o clear_v it_o first_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o moses_n do_v write_v be_v not_o the_o ten_o commandment_n but_o the_o several_a precept_n that_o be_v by_o way_n of_o explication_n and_o then_o the_o second_o thing_n be_v that_o whereas_o the_o 28._o verse_n seem_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o same_o subject_n moses_n yet_o the_o two_o former_a predicate_v be_v to_o be_v attribute_v to_o he_o viz._n his_o stay_n with_o god_n forty_o day_n and_o night_n and_o his_o neither_o eat_n nor_o drink_v all_o that_o while_n then_o the_o three_o predicate_v be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o god_n viz._n write_v upon_o the_o ten_o commandment_n for_o it_o be_v ordinary_a with_o the_o hebrew_n to_o refer_v the_o relative_a to_o some_o remote_a subject_n and_o not_o the_o near_a and_o this_o may_v untie_v that_o knot_n there_o be_v this_o remarkable_a that_o though_o the_o former_a table_n be_v break_v yet_o now_o god_n enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n with_o they_o as_o appear_z by_o proclaim_v himself_o long-suffering_a and_o gracious_a but_o yet_o god_n cause_v the_o ten_o commandment_n to_o be_v write_v again_o for_o they_o imply_v that_o these_o may_v very_o well_o stand_v with_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o oppose_v the_o antinomian_a 9_o the_o extraordinary_a glory_n that_o be_v upon_o moses_n this_o be_v a_o considerable_a glorious_a passage_n for_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o this_o 2_o cor._n 3._o do_v acknowledge_v the_o ministration_n of_o the_o law_n to_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o glory_n but_o yet_o such_o as_o be_v to_o vanish_v where_o by_o the_o way_n take_v notice_n against_o the_o antinomian_a that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o there_o speak_v of_o the_o law_n absolute_o in_o itself_o as_o if_o that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v away_o but_o the_o particular_a administration_n and_o dispensation_n of_o it_o that_o be_v no_o more_o to_o continue_v which_o all_o grant_n now_o the_o antinomian_n confound_v the_o law_n with_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o this_o glory_n and_o shine_a that_o be_v upon_o moses_n be_v as_o it_o may_v seem_v probable_a communicate_v unto_o he_o when_o he_o behold_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n how_o long_v it_o continue_v be_v not_o certain_a that_o have_v no_o probability_n of_o the_o rabbin_n who_o hold_v it_o do_v continue_v all_o his_o life_n time_n the_o vulgar_a translation_n make_v it_o horn_v cornuta_n hence_o the_o painter_n picture_v moses_n with_o horn_n but_o the_o word_n that_o signify_v a_o horn_n be_v also_o for_o to_o glitter_v and_o shine_v as_o also_o those_o ray_n of_o light_n may_v be_v cast_v forth_o from_o moses_n his_o face_n like_o

the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o law_n that_o the_o jew_n expect_v righteousness_n by_o in_o the_o perform_n of_o it_o which_o must_v be_v the_o moral_a law_n only_o now_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o moral_a law_n have_v christ_n for_o the_o end_n of_o it_o then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o may_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n 1._o either_o rigid_o and_o in_o a_o abstract_a consideration_n from_o the_o administration_n accident_n of_o it_o as_o it_o do_v require_v perfect_a obedience_n and_o condemn_v those_o that_o have_v it_o not_o now_o in_o this_o sense_n christ_n can_v be_v the_o scope_n or_o end_n of_o the_o law_n but_o it_o be_v mere_o by_o accident_n &_o occasional_a that_o a_o soul_n abase_v and_o condemn_v by_o the_o law_n do_v seek_v out_o for_o a_o christ_n only_o you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o law_n even_o so_o take_v do_v not_o exclude_v a_o christ_n it_o require_v indeed_o a_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o our_o own_o yet_o if_o we_o bring_v the_o righteousness_n of_o a_o surety_n though_o this_o be_v not_o command_v by_o the_o law_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o against_o the_o law_n or_o exclude_v by_o it_o otherwise_o it_o will_v have_v be_v unjustice_n in_o god_n to_o have_v accept_v of_o christ_n our_o surety_n for_o we_o 2._o or_o else_o the_o law_n may_v be_v take_v in_o a_o more_o large_a way_n for_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o by_o moses_n in_o all_o the_o particular_n of_o it_o and_o thus_o direct_o christ_n be_v intend_v direct_o and_o not_o by_o accident_n that_o be_v god_n when_o he_o give_v the_o law_n to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n do_v intend_v that_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o impossibility_n to_o keep_v it_o and_o infinite_a danger_n accrue_v thereby_o to_o they_o shall_v make_v they_o desire_v and_o seek_v out_o for_o christ_n which_o the_o jew_n general_o not_o understand_v or_o neglect_v do_v thereby_o like_o adam_n go_v to_o make_v figleaf_n for_o their_o cover_n of_o their_o nakedness_n their_o empty_a external_a obedience_n according_a to_o this_o purpose_n aquinas_n have_v a_o good_a distinction_n about_o a_o end_n that_o a_o end_n be_v twofold_a either_o such_o to_o which_o a_o thing_n do_v natural_o incline_v of_o itself_o or_o second_o that_o which_o become_v a_o end_n by_o the_o mere_a appointment_n and_o ordination_n of_o some_o agent_n now_o the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n to_o which_o natural_o it_o incline_v be_v eternal_a life_n to_o be_v obtain_v by_o a_o perfect_a righteousness_n in_o we_o but_o the_o institute_v and_o appoint_v end_n which_o god_n the_o lawgiver_n make_v in_o the_o promulgation_n of_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n christ_n so_o that_o whatsoever_o the_o law_n command_v promise_a or_o threaten_v it_o be_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o israelite_n unto_o christ_n they_o be_v not_o to_o rest_v in_o those_o precept_n or_o duty_n but_o to_o go_v on_o to_o christ_n so_o that_o a_o believer_n be_v not_o to_o take_v joy_n with_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o law_n till_o he_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o when_o he_o have_v find_v he_o he_o be_v to_o seek_v no_o further_o but_o to_o abide_v there_o now_o this_o indeed_o be_v a_o very_a difficult_a duty_n because_o every_o man_n natural_o will_v be_v his_o own_o christ_n and_o saviour_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o under_o the_o gospel_n believer_n be_v still_o so_o hardly_o persuade_v to_o rest_v only_o on_o christ_n for_o righteousness_n but_o because_o of_o that_o secret_a self_n dependence_n within_o they_o have_v premise_v these_o thing_n i_o come_v to_o show_v how_o christ_n be_v law_n the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n take_v large_o in_o the_o ministry_n of_o moses_n and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n christ_n be_v the_o scope_n and_o end_n of_o intention_n god_n by_o give_v so_o holy_a a_o law_n require_v such_o perfect_a obedience_n will_v thereby_o humble_v and_o debase_v the_o israelite_n so_o that_o thereby_o they_o shall_v the_o more_o earnest_o fly_v unto_o christ_n even_o as_o the_o israelite_n sting_v by_o a_o serpent_n will_v present_o cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n it_o be_v true_a christ_n be_v more_o obscure_o and_o dark_o hold_v forth_o there_o yet_o not_o so_o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n to_o search_v out_o for_o christ_n in_o all_o those_o administration_n and_o this_o you_o have_v full_o set_v forth_o in_o that_o allegory_n which_o paul_n make_v 2_o corinth_n 3._o 7._o i_o shall_v explain_v that_o place_n because_o it_o may_v be_v wrest_v open_v by_o the_o antinomian_a as_o if_o because_o that_o kind_a of_o ministry_n which_o be_v by_o moses_n be_v to_o be_v do_v away_o and_o evacuate_v therefore_o respect_n the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n be_v also_o to_o be_v abrogate_a but_o that_o be_v far_o from_o the_o apostle_n scope_n for_o the_o apostle_n his_o intent_n there_o be_v to_o show_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n above_o that_o of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o in_o three_o respect_n 1._o in_o regard_v one_o be_v the_o ministry_n of_o death_n and_o condemnation_n the_o condemnation_n other_o of_o life_n and_o righteousness_n therefore_o the_o one_o be_v call_v letter_n and_o the_o other_o spirit_n now_o this_o you_o must_v understand_v wary_o take_v the_o law_n naked_o and_o in_o itself_o without_o the_o spirit_n of_o

because_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o we_o to_o believe_v as_o it_o be_v to_o obey_v the_o law_n by_o our_o own_o power_n only_a life_n and_o spirit_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o gospel_n and_o
