had sprinkled half of the Blood upon the Altar of God so he took the other half of the Blood and sprinkled it on the People and said these remarkable words v. 8. Behold the blood of the Covenant which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words Thus God made the First and Old Covenant with the Jews by Sacrifice thus he set up the Jewish Religion The Christian Religion or the Second and New Covenant or Testament was also set up by the Sacrifice of the Death of Christ and for this reason his Blood is called the Blood of the New Testament Matth. 26.28 Exod. 24.8 Matth. 26.28 Mark 14.24 Luk. 22.20 1 Cor. 11.25 1 Pet. 1.2 or Covenant to distinguish it from the Blood of the Old and First Covenant or Testament So it is called after the example of Moses and with allusion to that Expression of his Behold the Blood of the Covenant The Night before our Saviour dy'd He spake of his Blood as the Blood of the New Testament And with small variation of words to the same sense He says the New Testament in my Blood With relation to this there is mention of Sanctification and sprinkling of the Blood of Jesus Christ And of those who live contrary to the Religion of Christ 't is said Of how much sorer punishment Heb. 10.29 suppose ye shall he be thought worthy who hath trodden under foot the Son of God and hath counted the blood of the Covenant wherewith he was Sanctified an unholy thing By the Blood of the Covenant we are consecrated and made holy unto God and if we Sin wilfully contrary to that consecration we act as those who account the Blood of that Covenant an unholy thing By this Blood of the Covenant we are obliged to be holy and by the Death of Christ whose Blood that is the Christian Religion was set up or the New Covenant established And the word sometimes signifies a Testament or Will Where a Testament is Heb. 9.16 17 18. there must also of necessity be the death of the Testator For a Testament is of force after men are dead otherwise it is of no strength at all while the Testator liveth Whereupon neither the first Testament was dedicated without blood c. where the Apostle recounts the history of setting up the Jewish Religion by Sacrifice as it is Exod. 24. 3. The Jewish Religion or the First and Old Covenant or Testament was founded upon the Israelites deliverance out of Egypt as is manifest from the Preamble to the Decalogue which is the words of the Covenant And the Christian Religion or Second and New Covenant or Testament was founded in the Deliverance or Salvation of Mankind by Jesus Christ The Jewish Religion or the First and Old Covenant or Testament was founded upon the Israelites Temporal Deliverance out of Egypt and as Moses was the Deliverer of that People so he was the Mediator of that Covenant This therefore God made the Preamble to his Law of the Ten Commandments God spake all these words saying Exod. 20.1 2. I am the Lord thy God or Jehovah thy God Jehovah being the Name by which God had peculiarly made himself known to the Jews God spake unto Moses Exod. 6.2 3. Gen. 17.1 35.11 48.3 and said unto him I am the Lord I am Jehovah And I appeared unto Abraham unto Isaac and unto Jacob by the Name of God Almighty El-Shaddai I am the Almighty God I am El-Shaddai That was the Name whereby God made himself known unto ' Abraham Isaac and Jacob But by my Name Jehovah was I not known to them Jehovah was the Name God used at the Delivery of the Jews out of Egypt and is the Importance of that I AM That I AM. Thus therefore God prefaced the Decalogue I am the Lord or Jehovah thy God which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage Thou shalt have no other Gods before me c. Thus God mentions the Deliverance of that People out of Egypt as the Foundation of the Covenant he made with them They were the People whom he had redeemed from their Enemies and with them He made this Covenant The Ten Commandments are called the Words of the Covenant and therefore the Preface to the Ten Commandments is the Foundation of that Covenant Exod. 34.28 Deut. 9.9 11 15. Josh 4.7 Judg. 20.27 and 1 Sam. 4.3.1 Chron. 17.1 Jer. 3.16 and Heb. 9.4 Exod. 24.3 Deut. 5.1 c. 5. Exod. 19.5 c. Dr. Lightfoot V. 1. p. 711. Sect. 24. Exod. 19.9 16 19. He wrote upon the Tables the Words of the Covenant the Ten Commandments And for this Reason the Tables are called the Tables of the Covenant And these Tables were put in the Holy Chest or Ark which is also called the Ark of the Covenant Moses does indeed speak of more than the Ten Commandments even all the Words of the Lord and all the Judgments but the Decalogue was a principal part as we have seen And Moses puts all together and instances in the Decalogue Moses called all Israel and said unto them Hear O Israel the Statutes and Judgments which I speak in your ears this day that ye may learn them and keep and do them The Lord our God made a Covenant with us in Horeb i. e. at Mount Sinai which is the same Hill for one side of it was called Horeb and the other side was called Sinai The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers but with us even with us who are all of us here alive this day The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire I stood between the Lord and you at that time and was Mediator to shew you the word of the Lord for ye were afraid by reason of the fire and went not up into the Mount saying I am the Lord thy God which brought thee out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage Thou shalt have no other Gods c. The Sabbaths were a sign that the Jews did belong unto God Exod. 31.13 Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you And in the Fourth Commandment the reason of the Sabbath is given viz. their Deliverance out of Egypt Deut. 5.15 Remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence with a mighty hand and with a stretched-out arm therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath-day Thus the Jewish Religion was set up and the Old and First Covenant established among the Jews with a special reference to their Deliverance out of Egypt which was a Temporal Salvation The Christian Religion or the Second and New Covenant or Testament was established upon the Spiritual Deliverance or Salvation of Mankind
