For this is spoke of the estate of the Church under the Gospel, They were Gods people indeed under the Law, but the sons of the living God, this is reserved for the times under the Gospel. Sometime they under the Law are called by the name of sons; 1but it appeareth by this Text that in comparison of that glorious son-ship that they shall have under the times of the Gospel, that they in former times were rather servants then sons. There is very little of our adoption in Christ revealed in the Old Testament, No, that was reserved for the Son of God to reveal, for him that came out of the bosom of the Father, and brought the treasures of his Fathers counsel to the world, the revelation of these things were reserved to the time of his coming, both adoption and eternal life was very little made known in the time of the Law, therefore Saint Paul saith, that life and immortality were brought to light through the Gospel. 2 Tim. 1. 10.
