§36

The Complement of the Adamitical Covenant.But when the Saviour, who is the Umpire of the Covenant made with Adam, after his Fall appear’d in this World, and finish’d that which he had undertaken to do, that Covenant receiv’d its Execution and Perfection, and exerted its Force with great Glory, and a greater Abundance of Grace through the whole World, the Abrahamitical Covenant, and the Mosaic one, as Temporary being taken out of the Way. (See Deut. 18:15, &c.) And this Covenant from that time, with Respect to the Jewish People, was call’d a new one, because the former one made with that People being Temporary, was antiquated.
