And this Renovation of all things is said accordingly to be accomplished in Christ, 2 Cor. 5. 17, 18. Old things are past away, behold all things are become New; the Old Law, Old Covenant, Old Worship, Old Sabbath, all that was peculiar unto the Covenant of Works as such, in the first Institution of it, and its renewed declaration on Mount Sinai, all are gone, and antiquated. What now remains of them as to any usefulness in our living to God, doth not abide on the Old foundation, but on a New disposition of them, by the Renovation of all things in Christ. For in the dispensation of the fullness of times. God gathered unto an Head all things in Christ, both which are in Heaven, and which are on Earth, even in him, Ephes. 1. 10. The whole old Creation, as far as it had any thing in its self, or its order, that belonged unto, or communicated any thing towards our living unto God and his Glory, is disposed anew in Christ Jesus unto that End.
