§. 28. Of the meaning of the latter part of the seventh verse.

UPon the foresaid supposition, the Apostle maketh this inference, then should no place 〈◊〉〈◊〉 been sought for the second. To seek a place for a thing, is to use means to 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 in and to settle it. Thus place was sought for Zadok to be high-Priest, when 〈◊〉〈◊〉 had forfeited that office, 1 King. 2. 35. Thus place was sought for 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉, when Iuda had failed, Act. 1. 20. Yea, place was sought for the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, •…•…hen Jewes failed. Hereupon saith the Church of the Gentiles, Give place 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 dwell, Isa. 49. 20.

O•…•… the contrary, when any are wholy deprived of a priviledge, and no admissi∣•…•…, it is thus expressed, Their place was not found, Rev. 12. 8.

〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 not been need, no place had been sought, that is, no meanes had been 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 way made for another covenant.

〈◊〉〈◊〉 second, hath reference to the new covenant, which he calls the second, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 succeeded 〈◊〉〈◊〉 former, which he called the first: as the second is next to 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 immediately succeedeth it; so was this covenant next to the former, and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 came into the room of it.

The consequence here inferred, is, that if the first had been perfect, there 〈◊〉〈◊〉, &c. See Chap. 7. v. 11. §. 65.
