3. And that there was a renewal of the Covenant of Works with the whole House of Israel given by Moses, contained in the 20th Chapter of Exodus, is most evident, tho not given for Life, but for other Reasons which I have mentioned: and this Covenant contained Ten Commandments, with the promise of Life upon the condition of universal Obedience thereunto. ⟨p. 104⟩And to this all the People consented, and joined in with God by mutual Restipulation: 1And all the People answered with one voice, and said, All that the Lord hath said, we will do. And now I say, their Seventh-day Sabbath was given as a sign of this Ministration of the old Covenant of Works: and hence also as Circumcision, the sign of that Legal Typical Covenant made with Abraham and his fleshly Seed as such, is God's Covenant; so the Seventh-day Sabbath is called also God's Covenant: Wherefore the Children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath to observe it throughout their Generations for a perpetual Covenant; 2and this because it was a Sign or a Pledge to them of that Obligation they lay under to keep the whole Law. I might here add, that the Lord's-Supper is a sign of the Gospel-Covenant; and it is also called the New Testament, or Covenant in Christ's Blood.
