We often read Christ weeping, never laughing: taking his creatures for sustentation, not for recreation. Indeed he afforded us this benefit; and what we had lost, as it were ex postliminio, recovered to us. But it were strange, that Haeres succedens in defuncti locum, should do more, then the Testator ever did himself, or allowed by his grant: Or that Servants and Sinners should challenge that, which was not permitted to their Master and Saviour. But thus we prevent our liberty, as the Pharisees did the Law, in sensum reprobum. These Hunt, but keep not within Gods Pale; the circumferent limits, wherein he hath mounded and bounded our liberty.
