It is ••dent from sundry passages in the Pook of Psalm, that the Godly Jews, had a Prospect beyond the Outside and Letter of the Law; and that they apprehended a more Spiritual and Mystical and •vancelical meaning in it, than what the bare Letter men• tioned. There was a Kabala among the true Israeltes, which instructed them in the Glorious Truths or the Gospel, which lay under the Shadows of the Law. Thus [I sal. XXV. 14.] The Secret (or, Mystery) of ••bovah was with them that feared Him.
