3. Because our Lord declares that all Power is given to him in Heaven and Earth, Mat. 28. 18, 19. all Power considered as Mediator: for as he is God, it was not given to him, but was his own essentially. But this is a Power delegated to him, i. e. all Power as sole Lord and Lawgiver to his Church, who only is the Head ⟨p. 138⟩thereof: therefore we must look to him for Laws, and how to be governed. He governed by a Substitute before, but now being come himself, the Substitute is utterly devested of his Power.

4. The Moral Law as a Rule of Righteousness, must only be in the hand of Christ, because our Lord saith, the Law and the Prophets were until John, Luke 16. 16. that is, Moses and the Prophets were as Teachers, by whom God spake to the People; that is, at the time of their Ministration and Prophecy: but now the date of their Ministration is near expired; they have Moses and the Prophets. But in the Transfiguration (which was a Figure or Representation of Christ's glorious Gospel-Church or Kingdom, and his Ministration) Moses disappeared with Elijah, who being one of the chiefest Prophets, might signify all the rest, and John also.
