I. The law of Moses came betweene the promise of redemption by Christ, and the accomplishment thereof, and to what ende.

:217p. 46–47

But between the promise of redemption by Christ; made first unto Adam, & after more manifestly declared, aswell to others, as most especially to Abraham, sealed with the sacrament of circumcision, and confirmed as it were by the death of Isaac his first begotten, offered for a sacrifice, and established by an everlasting covenant: & between the accomplishment of the fame promise, the law was given which Moses delivered: the people which came of Abraham's seed being gathered together and wonderfully increased, (of whom also Christ should be borne) and being also delivered out of the bondage of Egypt by a wonderful means, that God might have a church known and visible, and separate from other nations, and gathered together in one certain place: in which church, that promise concerning Christ made unto the fathers might be kept safe, and an acceptable service of God maintained, even unto the coming of the true promised redeemer: ⟨p. 47⟩The law, I say delivered by Moses from God unto his church, came between, containing three kinds of commandments: Moral, by which the life and piety of every one should be directed: Ceremonial, with the form whereof the church should be governed in her outward service and religion: and judicial, pertaining to the government of the whole common wealth in matters politic and economical: that by these means the people of God, of whom Christ was to come, might both be restrained from the profane manners & idolatries of wicked nations, & might be kept within their duty and obedience to Gods will, and finally might be upholden in the faith and hope of the promise to be performed concerning the true redemption by Christ: and so might be prepared more and more for the receiving of Christ: and so in that people God might be glorified.
