1Or thus: They have transgressed my Covenant like men. That is, not like my people. Saints that are of my Church, they have not transgressed my Covenant so. Their ways have been the ways of ordinary men, and as such they have transgressed my Covenant. The two last senses are principally meant here.

1My Covenant] The Covenant of God we usually divide into two parts; but the Scripture to me seems to hold forth a threefold Covenant: the one of Works, that which was made with Adam in Paradise. The other Covenant is that which was made with Abraham, the Covenant of Grace, the tenor of which is this, I will be thy God, and the God of thy seed after thee. Then there was a Covenant which was made with them upon mount Sinai. Now the Covenant here cannot be meant immediately of the Covenant of works, nor of the Covenant of grace, for this Covenant here implied, is one especially made with them, and therefore must be understood of that at mount Sinai, made many hundred years after the others, yet it hath reference to that of Works, and of Grace.
