Now to raise up our Thoughts, unto how much a sorer Punishment, the fiery Indignation that remained for these Gospel-Adversaries should be, he suggests how transcendently the Gospel exceeds the Ministration of Moses Law, in these Words that follow; He that despised Moses Law died without Mercy, under two or three Witnesses, of how much sorer Punishment suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the Blood of the Covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite to the Spirit of Grace. Moses Law (the old Covenant, as joined with the Law Ceremonial,) was sprinkled, or consecrated with the Blood of Beasts, Chap. 9. 19, 20, 21. But the Gospel of the New Covenant, and the Persons enlightened thereby, have been sanctified by the Blood of the Son of God. If ⟨p. 40⟩then such an extraordinary fiery Judgment befell the despisers of this Moses Law, thus sprinkled, &c. what fiery Indignation proportionably must it be that shall befall the treaders down, both of the Book, Covenant, and sacred Blood of Christ? And in this lies the weight and strength of the Apostle's Argument.
