The vanity of this appears, first, because these here spoken of, are such as Christ condemns, and who had Moses to be their accuser. So that they trusted in Moses, and Moses would accuse them for it; and what doth this make for the Papists? Secondly, by Moses is meant here Moses doctrine, and not his person; and so they are here said to trust in Moses, as before they are said to trust in the Scriptures. Thus in Exodus, they believed the Lord and Moses, [Greek or Hebrew] that is, they gave credence to Moses. So 2. Chron. 20.20. So it is in the Vulgar.
