But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, which glory was to be done away. (It was given at first with this Proviso, that it should not always retain its glory, that Sanction, as a Ministration) How shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious? For ⟨p. 54⟩if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious, had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 2 Cor. 3.
