text_original: Now Abraham was the interpreter of all laws, as well sacred as secular, among those that "j^ belonged to him ; not merely naturally, as using the laws of nature only, but even by the form of the covenant itself ; in which obedience is pro  mised by Abraham, not for himself only, but for his seed also ; which had been in vain, except his children had been tied to obey his commands.
