1. This serves for a confirmation of that Christ spoke on the Cross; It is finished. The renting of the Veil ⟨p. 52⟩doth actually echo to his words, and indeed fulfils them. Here is an end put to all the Sacrifices and Ceremonies of the law. In the new Testament one only real and royal Sacrifice, Christ crucified. This was that object whereto all those legal rites looked; & to them all there is now given a Consu•tum est. So that now Coremonia mortua, Lex mortifera: Ceremonies are dead, and the typical law deadly. Novum Testamentum latet in veteri, Vetus patet in novo. The Gospel lay hidden under the law, the law is complete in the Gospel. cNow after that you have known God in his Gospel, how turn you again to the weak and beggarly Elements, whereunto you desire again to be in bondage? Gods service is now simple and plain; din spirit and truth.
