DEUT. 4. 13. And he declared unto you his Covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten Commandments, &c.
DEUT. 4. 13. And he declared unto you his Covenant, which he commanded you to performe, even ten Commandements, &c.
I Have already handled the Law as it is a Rule, and now come to consider of it as a Covenant, that so the whole Law may be fully understood. I shall not be long upon this, though the matter be large and difficult, though the subject be like the Land of Canaan, yet there are many Giants, and great Objections in the way. I will rather handle it positively, then controversally; for I do not find in any point of Divinity, learned men so confused and perplexed (being like Abraham's Ram, hung in a bush of briars and brambles by the head) as here. That I may methodically proceed, observe the context of this verse, and the scope, Moses being to persuade the people of Israel to obedience 1of the Law, useth several forcible arguments.
