For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

In saying, a new covenant, he hath antiquated the first; now that which is antiquated and decayed, is ready to vanish away.
