And this, for ever, answers unto the for ever under the Law; each of them being 1commensurate unto the Dispensation of that Covenant which they do respect. For absolute Eternity belongs not unto these things. The Ever of the Old Testament was the Duration of the Dispensation of the Old Covenant. And this, for ever, respects the New Covenant, which is to continue unto the consummation of all things, no change therein being any way intimated or promised, or consistent with the Wisdom and Faithfulness of God, all which were otherwise under the Law. But at the end of the world, together with the Dispensation of the New Covenant, an end will be put unto all the Mediatory Offices of Christ, and all their Exercise. And there are four things which the Apostle declareth and evinceth in this observation.
