For that is the pretence which they vfc, when as they feeke no other thing than to entrap mcnbydiuelifli Sophiftrie. What need the lawc (fay thcy>)Wehaucthc Gofpeh What need wc written expofiters? We haue the liueiic voices of Preachers founding in great plentieeuerie where. Of which two fpeaches, the former is vainc , the later parciall,and both of them are wicked. Truth it is,that the ftrength and fting of the lawes domi- nion to condemnation, concerning thefaithfull, is weakened and cleane plucked out : that the fire is cxtinguiQied wherewith the mountaine fmo- kcd,that the ftonie tables arc foftned, that the hea- uie yoke is lightened,that grace hath fuperaboun- ded, and an home of ftrong faluation is eredcd and declared through the adminiftration of the fpirite. What then? Shall we therefore welter in Cnnc,and w allow in the luftes thereof, becaufe of ihefc thiages? God forbid. Nay rather ^as the law fchoolcth *Dcdicatorie, fchooleth vs, to fcckcfor grace at ttic bodieof Chriftc, fo the gracious Chriftian is taught to re- pairc againc to the booke of the lawe, to line thcr- after : in deedcnowCj without fcruile feaie, being dcliuered from bondage, to fcruc in freedome of an vprighr ,holie,and finccrc confcience.
