10. This Law neither gave, mentioned or owned any Surety, Substitute, or Mediator.
11. But the blessed Lawgiver our Creator would not so lose his Creature, but the eternal word presently interposing, undertook mans Redemption, and God gave man a new Law of Life, or a Covenant of Grace▪ promising him a Mediator in the fullness of time, and giving him freely for his sake both pardon of his sin, and right to Life, on the Terms of Grace therein prescribed: and commanding him future obedience, especially in the reception of his Grace, and use of the means of Grace appointed him.
