4. The work of the Apostle in these Chapters is to show the Harmony ⟨image 4⟩between the Law and the Gospel, their different Ends and Uses, to take off all seeming Repugnancy and Contradiction between them, to declare the same Grace, Truth and Faithfulness of God in them both, notwithstanding their inconsistent institutions of Divine Worship. Nay he makes it evident not only that there is an Harmony between them, but also an utter impossibility that either of them should be true or proceed from God, without the other.

5. Herein a glorious account is given of the Representation that was made of the Person and Incarnation of Christ, with the whole Office of his Mediation, according as it was granted unto the Church in its infant-state. Some have called it the infant-state of Christ as unto his Incarnation, and affirmed that the Ceremonies of the Law were as his swaddling Bands. But things are quite otherwise. The glorious state of Christ and his Office is represented unto the Church in its infant-State, when it had no apprehension of spiritual things, but such as Children have of the objects of Reason. In particular, how the Ancient Church was instructed in the Nature and blessed Efficacy of his Sacrifice, the Foundation of its Salvation, is made gloriously to appear.
