You will say peradventure these things pertain to the Jews, what have we to do with them? Indeed they pertain no less to us Christians, then to them. For if we be the people of God, how can the word and law of GOD not appertain to us? Saint Paul alleging one text out of the old Testament, concludeth generally for other scriptures of the old Testament 1as well as that, saying, Whatsoever is written before (meaning in the old Testament) is written for our instruction: which sentence is most specially true of such writings of the old Testament as contain the immutable law and ordinances of GOD, in no age or time to be altered, nor of any persons of any nations or age to be disobeyed, such as the above rehearsed places be. Notwithstanding, for your further satisfying herein, according to my promise, I will out of the Scriptures of the new Testament or Gospel of our Saviour Christ, likewise make a confirmation of the said doctrine against idols or images, and of our duty concerning the same.
