The Eighth Scripture is that, Psal. 40. 6, 7, 8. Sacrifice 1and offering thou didst not desire, mine ears hast thou opened, burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said I, lo, I come, in the volume of the book it is written of me: I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy Law is within my heart; Heb. in the midst of my bowels; compared with that, Heb. 10. 5, 6, 7. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, sacrifice and offering thou wouldst not, but a body hast thou prepared for me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin, thou hast had no pleasure: Then said I, lo, I come, in the volume of the book, it is written of me, to do thy will, O God. In these two Scriptures, two things are concluded. 1. The impotency of Legal Sacrifices, vers. 5, 6. 2. The all sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice, vers. 7. There is some difference in words and phrases, betwixt the Apostle and the Prophet, but both agree in sense; as we shall endeavour to demonstrate. Pen men of the New Testament, were not Translators of the Old, but only quoted them, for proof of the point in hand; so as they were not tied to syllables and letters, but to the sense. That which the Prophet speaketh of himself, the Apostle applieth to Christ; say some, this may be readily granted: For David being a special type of Christ, that may in history and type, be spoken of David; which, in mystery and truth, is understood of Christ: But that which David uttered in the aforesaid text, is questionless, uttered by the way of Prophecy, concerning Christ, as is evident by these reasons.
