Vindiciæ legis & fœderis

Christ is the end of the Law for Righteousness. Take the Law here, either more strictly for the Moral Law, or more largely, as it comprehends the Ceremonial Law; still Christ is the end of the Law. The Moral Law shuts up every Man to Christ for Righteousness, by convincing him (according to Gods design in the Publication of it) of the impossibility of obtaining Justification in the way of Works.

And the Ceremonial Law many ways prefigured Christ, his Death and Satisfaction by Blood, in our room, and so led Men to Christ, their true Propitiation; and all its Types were fulfilled and ended in Christ. Was there any such thing in Adam's Covenant? You must prove there was, else you will never be able to make them one and the same Covenant.

(6ly.) It seems exceeding probable from Acts 7. 37, 38. That the Sinai Covenant was delivered to Moses by Jesus Christ, there called the Angel. This is he that was in the Church in the Wilderness, with the Angel that spake to him in the Mount Sinai, and with our Fathers, who received the lively Oracles to give unto us. Now, if Christ himself were the Angel, and the Precepts of the Law delivered by him to Moses were the Lively Oracles of God, as they are there expressly affirmed to be, then the Law delivered on Mount Sinai cannot be a pure Adam's Covenant of Works: For it is never to be imagined that Jesus Christ himself should deliver to Moses such a Covenant, directly opposite to all the ends of his future Incarnation; and that those Precepts (which if they were of the same nature, and revived to the same end, at which Adam's Covenant directly aimed) should be called the Lively Oracles of God: When contrariwise, upon your Supposition they could be no other than a Ministration of Condemnation and Death: But that they were Lively Oracles, viz. in their Design and Intention, is plain in the Text; and that they were delivered to Moses by Jesus
