3. To sanctify, 1often in the Old Testament only refers to God's setting apart a Thing, a Person, &c. for himself, or to some holy legal Use or Service. Thus the seventh Day was sanctified, and the Priests, and Vessels of the Sanctuary, &c. were sanctified. And their Sabbath was a sign that they became God's People, in that legal and typical Covenant, or upon the terms of the Covenant of Works; they promising that all the Lord commanded them they would do,2 which confirms what we said before.
- 1What is meant by God's sanctifying the whole Nation of Israel.
- 2Exod. 24. 2, 3.
4. Let none suppose that God took the whole House of Israel into a special Relation with himself, according to the tenor of the new Covenant, or Covenant of Grace; or that that Covenant, Exod. 20. was the Covenant of Grace. Let them read what the Prophet Jeremiah saith: 1Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new Covenant with the House of Israel, and with the House of Judah: Not according to the Covenant that I made with their Fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the Land of Egypt; which my Covenant they broke, although I was a Husband to ⟨p. 107⟩them, saith the Lord. But this shall be my Covenant that I will make.—After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my Law into their inward parts, and write it in their Hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my People.
