God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself; and God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son; and whosoever believes ⟨p. 118⟩[…] ⟨p. 119⟩[…] ⟨p. 118⟩in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. It is now like a new Lease fairly written over with a new hand, and new seals, and new witnesses: Though this Covenant be the same for substance in Abraham's and Moses time, yet (upon the coming of Christ) it is new for the manner of administration; it hath not those seals of Circumcision and the Passover, nor Sacrifices, nor Ceremonies, nor Types, and Legal Figures which formerly it had; it hath now the Mediator himself to deliver it, and his new seals of Baptism, and the Supper, and is established after a new manner, even by the blood of Christ: and hath many new institutions and adjuncts, &c.
