The Parable of the Ten Virgins Opened and Applied

First, I have broke the first Covenant of the Law, Christ appears not as one that exacts the Debt, but as one that comes to enrich him when poor.

Secondly, I cannot walk after it as a Rule, Christ appears in this Covenant, and promiseth to cause him to do it; and hence after all departings from the Lord, he will not depart further by unbelief, but sees the end of the Law, which is Christ, that in him he may perform the Covenant, and by him be strengthened to walk with him as after a Rule: For the Covenant of Grace is not, Christ will be righteousness to thee if thou wilt walk after the Law as a Rule, but Christ will do both: and this the soul sees in it's Glory, else it's no sight. Hence 2 Cor. 3. Gospel is called The ministration of Glory, which no carnal heart can see, for the veil is taken away when it turns to the Lord, and sees him. The Saints only with open face behold this: 'Tis true for a ti•e they may make of Christ a Moses, as Peter, Luke 5. 8. Lord depart from me, I am a sinful man. And the Lord may deal roughly with them to hu•b•e them, as Joseph did to his Brethren, but it will not ever hold; and the Lord •ppearing thus to them that have been stung by the Law, and that killing letter, now •he Lord appears in ineffable Beauty and Glory; To others there is nothing in it, they may see this, yet not believe.
