[ 993] Christ seen more clearly under the Gospel, than under
the Law.
AS a King in his progress coming to some great City, divers of his train ride
before him, and many more come after him, yet all come to the same place;
but those that are before, do not see what entertainment is made in the way, so wel
as they that come behind: Thus it is that Christ is seen more clearly under the Go∣spell,
than under the Law; The Patriarks, and the Israel of God, saw somewhat
of Christ as they were before him, but not one half which we see that are behind;
Moses was then under a cloud, but his face is now unveyled; It was a good ob∣servation
of an acute Preacher (now with God) then lying on his death-bed;O how happy, said he, are the Peopl of this age, that see more of Christ than ever their
Predecessors did, more than the Patriarks and People of old, They had onely Moses, Psalms,
and the Prophets, but we the Books of the new Testament, setting out Christ before
us.
