31. The Law which God put all mankind under after the fall, and the world without the Church is under still, is the Preceptive part of the Law of Innocent Nature as de futuro, the promise of it being ceased, and the penalty not totally nullified, but made remediable by an act of oblivion or Conditional Covenant of Grace. q. d. [Thou shalt perfectly obey me, for the time to come; and every sin shall deserve everlasting punishment, so far as that I might justly inflict it, and will do it if it be not remitted: But all thy sin shall be forgiven thee, and thou shalt have the free gift of pardon and salvation, if thou Believe in me thy merciful Saviour, and repent and give up thy self to me to be saved, and to be Mine by sincere obedience and Love.]

32. The deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt by Moses, and their embodying into a new Common-wealth, with a Theocratical Government in a peculiar manner, and a new body of Divine Laws, were all done in performance of Gods Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, separating their seed as Holy from all the world. Not as if no other were Holy in the world; but as the Priests and Levites were sanctified to stand nearer to God than the people, and so specially Holy; even so ⟨p. 35⟩Israel was a Holy Nation, as being nearer God by separation than the rest of the Nations of the world.
