The first benefit which we have by Christ, is the taking1 away of the veil of ignorance, the blindness that naturally possesseth our souls; as in that place of the Acts it is first named. And Isaiah 25. 7. He will swallow up the veil of the face, the veil that is upon all people, and the covering that is upon all Nations. So 2. Cor. 3. 16. When their heart shall be turned to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away: for where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is 2Freedom.
