Thus^c the things which remained inalterable for the time of a mans life are said to be for ever, as the service of him whose ear was bored through with a nawle, by his Master: and the things which endured all the time of the Jews pedagogy, and polity till the first coming of Christ, as the^d Passover, and other like legal Rites: and the things which are to endure till the end of the world: as^e the Covenant whereof the Rainbow is a sign, and^f the earth. All these had their beginning: and they have had or shall have their end. Yet are they said to be for ever, because no abrogation, or alteration was to be of them, till their date and end was come.
