say, Who shall goe over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may heare it, and doe it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou maist doe it. But the Law given by Moses is engraven in the heart of the spirituall seed, or people effectually in Covenant, as they are called a people in whose heart is the Law.
