    Mr * Marsorn on the Efficacy ef the Death of Christ . [ Concluded from p . 643 . ] f ^ pHE apofitle contrasting % he two JL covenants , the law an 4 the gospel , styles the one , i . e . the law , " the letter which tellethf * of which , he says , they were not made the ministers , but of the other , the new

    covenant , " the spirit / ' L e . the gospel , that spiritual dispensation " which giveth life . " The « me he calls €€ the ministration of death , written and engraven in stones , "; referring to the * two tables of the covenant , on which

    the ten commandments were written , which he says teas to be done away The other he calls "the ministration of the spirit . " The one , " the ministration of condemnation , " the other , " the ministration of righteousness ;" and he shews that the glory of the

    gospel , the ministration of the spirit and of righteousness , was far superior to that of the law , the ministration of death and condemnation . The latter , he says , was done away 9 was abolished ,

    but the former , i . e . the gospel , remaineth . * The apostle , in this passage , explicitly and expressly affirms that the law , the old covenant , $ s abo ~ Uihed and done away ; and this he affirms not merely and exclusively of the ceremonial law , but he affirms it

    of the decalogue , the mw written and engraven in stones * which was the ministration of death and condemnation ; but as the ceremonial law was not written and engraven in stones , nor was it the law of death , what be here says cannot apply to it , but only

    to the two tables containing th ^ - ten ^ mruandments , which were the covenant made with Israel at Mount Sinai , and deposited in the ark , which-is called the ark of the covenant . Again , 4 f
