§ 7 The first are of three sorts. First, of Life Temporal, as it was an Instrument of their Government, and eternal with God, as the Promise or Covenant of grace was exemplified or represented therein. Levit. 18.5. Ezek. 20.11. Rom. 10.5. Gal. 3.12. Secondly, Of a Spiritual Redeemer, Saviour, Deliverer, really to effect what the Ordinances of Institution did represent, so to save them eternally, to be exhibited in the fullness of time, as we have at large already proved. Thirdly, There are given out with the Law various Promises of intervenient and mixed mercies to be enjoyed in earthly things in this world, that had their immediate respect unto the mercy of the Land of Canaan, representing spiritual Grace, annexed to the then present Administration of the Covenant of Grace. Some of these concerned the collation of good things; others, the preventing of, or delivery of them from Evils, both expressed in great variety.
