Of this Law, Commandment, or Covenant, it is said that [Greek or Hebrew], it ⟨p. 203⟩made nothing perfect. [Greek or Hebrew], nothing, for [Greek or Hebrew], no man say expositors generally; 1it made no man perfect. So the Neuter is put for the Masculine. So it is in those words of our Saviour, Joh. 6. 37. [Greek or Hebrew]; All that the Father giveth me, cometh unto me; that is every one. So is [Greek or Hebrew], as here, put for [Greek or Hebrew], ver. 63. [Greek or Hebrew]; The Flesh profiteth nothing, that is, say some, no man. But I am not satisfied with this Exposition, but rather judge that the Apostle did properly express his Intention. It made nothing, that is, none of the things which we treat about, perfect. It did not make the Church state perfect, it did not make the worship of God perfect, it did not perfect the Promises given unto Abraham in their Accomplishment, it did not make a perfect Covenant between God and man; it had a shadow, an obscure Representation of all these things, but it made nothing perfect.
