the_o law_n it_o come_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n the_o second_o excellency_n be_v in_o regard_n of_o continuance_n and_o duration_n the_o abolish_v 2._o because_o of_o its_o duration_n it_o be_v to_o abide_v always_o but_o the_o ministry_n of_o moses_n to_o be_v abolish_v ministry_n of_o moses_n be_v to_o be_v make_v void_a and_o abolish_v which_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o that_o jewish_a pedagogy_n not_o of_o every_o part_n of_o it_o for_o the_o moral_a as_o give_v by_o moses_n do_v still_o oblige_v we_o christian_n as_o have_v be_v already_o prove_v but_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o abide_v always_o that_o be_v there_o be_v no_o new_a ministry_n to_o succeed_v that_o of_o the_o gospel_n although_o in_o heaven_n all_o shall_v cease_v the_o three_o difference_n be_v in_o regard_n of_o glory_n god_n cause_v some_o material_a material_a 3._o because_o the_o glory_n that_o come_v by_o the_o gospel_n be_v spiritual_a that_o which_o shine_v upon_o moses_n but_o material_a glory_n to_o shine_v upon_o moses_n while_o he_o give_v the_o law_n hereby_o to_o procure_v the_o great_a authority_n and_o majesty_n to_o the_o law_n but_o that_o glory_n which_o come_v by_o the_o gospel_n be_v spiritual_a and_o far_o more_o transcendent_a bring_v we_o at_o last_o into_o eternal_a glory_n so_o that_o the_o former_a glory_n seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o this_o even_o as_o the_o light_n of_o a_o candle_n or_o torch_n seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o say_v theophylact_v when_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n arise_v now_o the_o apostle_n handle_v these_o thing_n do_v occasional_o open_v a_o allegory_n which_o have_v not_o paul_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n find_v out_o we_o neither_o can_v or_o aught_o to_o have_v do_v it_o and_o the_o consideration_n of_o that_o will_v serve_v much_o for_o my_o present_a matter_n i_o know_v divers_a man_n have_v divers_a thought_n about_o exposition_n of_o this_o place_n so_o that_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o veil_n upon_o the_o text_n as_o well_o as_o upon_o moses_n his_o face_n but_o i_o shall_v plain_o understand_v it_o thus_o moses_n his_o face_n face_n what_o signify_v by_o the_o shine_a of_o moses_n his_o face_n shine_v when_o he_o be_v with_o god_n and_o come_v from_o he_o do_v signify_v the_o glory_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o law_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n counsel_n and_o intention_n for_o although_o the_o law_n do_v seem_v to_o hold_v out_o nothing_o but_o temporal_a mercy_n devoid_a of_o christ_n and_o heaven_n yet_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n intention_n it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o now_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o jew_n be_v not_o able_a to_o fix_v their_o eye_n upon_o this_o glory_n that_o be_v the_o carnal_a israelite_n do_v not_o behold_v christ_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o moses_n because_o a_o veil_n be_v upon_o their_o heart_n the_o apostle_n make_v the_o veil_n upon_o moses_n to_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o blindness_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n in_o the_o israelite_n so_o that_o as_o the_o veil_n upon_o moses_n cover_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o face_n so_o the_o veil_n of_o blindness_n and_o stupidity_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o jew_n do_v hinder_v they_o from_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v christ_n and_o that_o this_o be_v so_o do_v appear_v viz._n where_o the_o israelite_n be_v deny_v to_o look_v steadfast_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o word_n in_o my_o text_n to_o the_o end_n of_o that_o ministry_n which_o be_v to_o be_v abolish_v and_o that_o end_n be_v christ_n so_o that_o this_o text_n do_v full_o prove_v my_o intent_n which_o be_v that_o christ_n be_v in_o some_o measure_n a_o glorious_a object_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o veil_n upon_o the_o israelite_n heart_n hinder_v the_o sight_n of_o it_o now_o say_v paul_n when_o it_o shall_v turn_v as_o we_o translate_v or_o rather_o when_o they_o shall_v turn_v for_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v observe_v to_o be_v use_v always_o of_o person_n and_o though_o the_o word_n be_v in_o the_o singular_a number_n in_o the_o original_n yet_o according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o scripture_n it_o may_v be_v understand_v plural_o because_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o collective_a body_n when_o say_v the_o text_n this_o turn_n shall_v be_v the_o veil_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o or_o rather_o as_o camero_n well_o observe_v in_o the_o present_a tense_n it_o be_v take_v away_o for_o you_o can_v conceive_v that_o the_o jew_n shall_v be_v first_o turn_v unto_o god_n and_o the_o veil_n afterward_o to_o be_v take_v away_o but_o they_o both_o be_v together_o i_o will_v give_v another_o instance_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o intention_n or_o aim_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o law_n from_o galat._n 3._o 23_o 24._o we_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n till_o faith_n come_v wherefore_o the_o law_n be_v our_o schoolmaster_n to_o bring_v we_o unto_o christ_n in_o which_o word_n not_o the_o moral_a law_n simple_o take_v but_o the_o whole_a dispensation_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v compare_v to_o the_o instruction_n of_o a_o schoolmaster_n now_o as_o a_o schoolmaster_n do_v not_o only_o beat_v or_o correct_v but_o teach_v also_o and_o direct_v thus_o the_o law_n do_v not_o only_o severe_o curb_v and_o keep_v from_o sin_n but_o do_v also_o teach_v christ_n hence_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n which_o although_o some_o make_v a_o expression_n from_o the_o strict_a keep_n and_o watch_v which_o soldier_n in_o a_o garrison_n use_v to_o make_v yet_o a_o learned_a man_n make_v it_o to_o denote_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o schoolmaster_n as_o one_o who_o be_v to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o such_o commit_v to_o his_o charge_n in_o which_o sense_n cain_n say_v be_o i_o my_o brother_n keeper_n the_o law_n then_o as_o a_o schoolmaster_n do_v not_o only_o threaten_v and_o curse_v or_o like_o the_o egyptian_a taskmaster_n beat_v and_o strike_v because_o the_o work_n be_v not_o do_v but_o do_v show_v where_o power_n and_o help_n be_v to_o be_v have_v viz._n from_o christ_n only_o in_o the_o second_o place_n christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o perfection_n to_o the_o law_n for_o law_n 2._o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o perfection_n to_o the_o law_n the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o justify_v and_o to_o bring_v to_o eternal_a life_n this_o can_v not_o be_v attain_v by_o our_o own_o power_n and_o industry_n not_o by_o any_o defect_n of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o infirmity_n therefore_o christ_n he_o have_v bring_v about_o this_o intent_n of_o the_o law_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o have_v life_n if_o the_o end_n of_o humane_a law_n be_v to_o make_v good_a and_o honest_a man_n much_o rather_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n appoint_v by_o god_n himself_o but_o the_o law_n be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v we_o good_a as_o that_o it_o work_v in_o we_o all_o evil_a which_o effect_n of_o the_o law_n in_o himself_o the_o apostle_n acknowledge_v so_o that_o as_o good_a food_n and_o nourishment_n receive_v by_o a_o disease_a stomach_n do_v increase_v the_o disease_n more_o according_a to_o that_o rule_n corpora_fw-la impura_fw-la quantò_fw-la magis_fw-la nutrias_fw-la deteriora_fw-la reddis_fw-la thus_o it_o be_v in_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n the_o law_n which_o be_v for_o holiness_n and_o life_n become_v to_o cause_v sin_n and_o death_n christ_n therefore_o that_o the_o law_n may_v have_v its_o end_n he_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n may_v be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o 3._o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o perfection_n of_o the_o law_n in_o that_o the_o mere_a it_o 3._o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o perfection_n of_o the_o law_n in_o vouchsafe_v as_o his_o spirit_n that_o we_o may_v obey_v it_o knowledge_n of_o the_o law_n with_o the_o external_a obedience_n only_o to_o it_o be_v not_o available_a to_o any_o benefit_n therefore_o christ_n vouchsafe_v his_o holy_a spirit_n unto_o we_o regenerate_v of_o we_o whereby_o we_o come_v in_o part_n to_o obey_v the_o law_n of_o god_n so_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v a_o righteousness_n or_o holiness_n of_o work_n but_o it_o be_v imperfect_a and_o so_o not_o enable_v we_o to_o justification_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v say_v to_o keep_v god_n commandment_n so_o then_o whereas_o our_o condition_n be_v so_o by_o sin_n that_o we_o be_v neither_o able_a nor_o willing_a to_o obey_v the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o the_o least_o degree_n christ_n do_v give_v we_o grace_n and_o cure_v we_o so_o far_o that_o we_o be_v say_v to_o walk_v in_o his_o law_n now_o herein_o
