And this gave a period to the first dispensation of God towards the Church in the § 23 posterity of Abraham, for the space of 430 years. With the provision and furniture of these Ordinances of Worship, they left Egypt, and passing through the Red-sea, came into the Wilderness of Sinai, where they received the Law, and were made perfect in the beauty of Typical holiness and worship.
Unto these Ordinances succeeded the Solemn [Greek or Hebrew], or giving of the Law on § 24 Mount Sinai, with the Precepts and Sanctions thereof, mentioned in several places by our Apostle, as chap. 2.2. For if the word spoken by Angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward. Chap. 1O.28. He that despised Moses Law died without mercy under two or three witnesses. Chap. 12.18, 19, 20, 21. For ye are not come unto the Mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire; nor unto blackness and darkness, and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more; for they could not endure that which was commanded; and if so much as a beast touched the mountain, it shall be stoned or thrust through with a dart. And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake. ver. 25. They escaped not who refused him that spake on earth. And in other places.
