But again, Here now in the 17. Chapter of Matthew, §2at the Transfiguration, appears Moses, and Elijah. Behold (at the 3. verse) There appeared unto them, Moses and Elijah talking with him. Moses that gave the Law; Elijah that restored it. Then answered Peter and said unto Jesus; Lord, 'tis good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here Three Tabernacles; one for Thee, and one for Moses and one for Elijah. Peter and so the rest of the Disciples, began for to equalize Moses to Jesus Christ: One for Moses, and one for Elijah, and one for Jesus Christ; no more for Christ than for Moses. Now the Lord takes Peter off from all his mistakings: Your eye is upon Moses (saith he) but I (saith the Lord God Almighty) am well pleased in my Son: This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. I am well pleased with you, and with your Duties, through this my Son, and not through Moses; and therefore Hear Christ, and not Moses. He lays this in upon it, that therefore they should be Evangelical, and hear Jesus Christ, because the Lord Christ gives acceptance unto all, and by him God is well pleased with them.
