We have heard why the Church is called a Mountain. He will destroy, or swallow up, as the word may signify, the face of covering, or the covering of the face; the veil which is the covering of the face, and particularly expressed in that term, always, the veil that is spread over all Nations.

To this day, saith he, when Moses is read, there is a veil put upon their hearts; they could not see that the Law was a School-master to bring to Christ, the Ceremonial Law, and the Moral Law.
