They that say the Glory, and not the Law, is here said to be done away, speak against the plain scope of the Text: For the Glory of Moses's Face, and the glorious manner of deliverance, ceased in a few days, which is not the Cessation here intended.
But as Dr. Hammond speaketh [that Glory, and that Law so gloriously delivered, is done away] and this the 11th Verse fully expresseth: For if that which is done away was glorious, (or by Glory) much more that which remaineth ⟨p. 143⟩is glorious (or is Glory.) So that as it is not only the Glory, but the glorious Law, Gospel, or Testament which is said to remain; so it is not only the Glory, but the Law which is said to be done away: And this is the Law which was written in Stone. Nothing but partial Violence can evade the force of this Text.
So Heb. 7. 11, 12. [under it] (the Levitical Priesthood) the People received the Law— And the Priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the Law. Ver. 18. For there is verily a disannulling of the Commandment going before, for the weakness and the unprofitableness thereof: For the Law made nothing perfect, but the bringing a better hope did. And so much was Jesus made a Surety of a better Testament. In all this it is plain, that it is the whole Frame of the Mosaical Law that is changed, and the New Testament set up in its stead.
