To this serveth that also which is written in the same book of Exodus, when the covenant was then made between God and the people, and Moses recited the conditions, and sprinkled the people with the blood of the sacrifices which were offered, he brought forth the Elders unto the mountain, where they saw God sitting in his throne with chief glory and majesty. But after the recital of that vision, it is said: Neither did God extend his hand unto them: which declareth that it was a new and
