Deut. 17. 2. If there be found any—that hath wrought wickedness—in transgressing the Covenant, which was the ten Commandments, as appeareth, ver. 3. And more expressly, 2 Chro. 6. 11. In it have I put the Ark wherein is the Covenant of the Lord, that he made with the children of Israel. Yea, if we would speak exactly and strictly, the books of Moses and the Prophets cannot be so well called the Old Covenant, or Testament; as this doctrine that was then delivered on Mount Sinai, with all the administrations thereof; as appeareth Heb. 7. & chap. 8.

Take but one place more, where the Law is called a Covenant, and that is Jer. 11. 2, 3, 4.
