§ 5 Thirdly, it may be considered as it was the Instrument of the Rule and Government of the People and Church of Israel, according to the tenure of the Covenant made with them about the Land of Canaan, and their living unto God therein. And in this respect it had four things in it. First, That it represented unto the people the Holiness of God, the Effects whereof are implanted in the Law according to its Original constitution; whereupon in it they are so often called to be holy, because the Lord and Law-giver was holy. Secondly, A Representation of his Grace and Condescension, pardoning of sin in the Covenant of mercy, in as much as he allowed a Compensation by Sacrifices for so many transgressions, which in their own nature were forfeitures of their interest in that Land. Thirdly, That it was a righteous Rule of obedience unto that People, as unto their especial Covenant condition. Fourthly, That it fully represented the severity of God against wilful transgressors of his Covenant, as now renewed in order to the Promise, seeing every such transgression was attended in their Administration of Rule, with death without mercy.
