Herein alto Mofes dealt as a mediator between God and nun; and was a figure of our Mediator Chrifk, who layd down his life for the fheepe Iohn 10.15. and re- deemed us from the curie of the Law, when hee was made a eurfë for us, Gal. 3.13. although Mofes could not fully efeft the grace that lice defired for the people. The intent of Moles (fay the Heb.

A ND Iehovah fpake unto Mofes , Go getthee up hence thou and the peo- ple , which thou haft brought up out of the Land of Egypt, unto the Land which I fware unto Abraham, to If.ack, and to Ja- cob, faying,unro :by feed will I give ir. And I will fend before thee,an Angel: and I will drive out, the Canaanite, the Amorite, and theChethite, and the Pherizzire, the Evite, and the Iebu(ìte. Vnto a Land flowing with milke ì and honey : for I will not goe up in the midfl of thee, for thou art a ftiff- necked people, Tell I confume thee in the way. And the people heard this evill word, and they "mourned : and no man did put his orna- ment upon him. For Iehovah had faid un- to Mofes; Say unto the Sons oflfrael, ye are a fti(f necked people; in onemoment I will come-up in the miditofthee, and confume thee : now therefore put -offthy Ornament from on thee, and I (hall know what I (hall doe unto thee. And the Sonnes of Ifrael, (tript themfelves of their ornament , from the mount Horeb. And Mofes tooke a tent, and pitched it for him , without the cataipe, afar off from the campe ; and called, it , the Tent of the congregation : and it was ,that every onewhich fought Jehovah , went out unto the Tent of the congregation, which was without the campe. And it was when Mores went out unto the tent; all the people rote-up , and Rood every man at the doore Mm; of r 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
