But how can M. Harding apply these things to his purpose? Or how can he hereby, warrant the manifest breach of Christs Institution? The Church in every of these orders was directed, and guided by God's word: Touching killing, God saith unto the Magistrate, Thou shalt not suffer the wicked to live. Touching swearing,1 God saith,2 Thou shalt swear in trueth, in Judgement, and in Justice. Touching pulling out of our eyes, S. Paul saith: No man ever hated his own flesh, but doth nourish, and cherish it. And touching blood, and strangled meats, Christ saith, The thing that entereth into the mouth, defileth not the man: And S. Paul saith: Every creature of God is good. Therefore the Church in these cases devised no new thing of her self, nor brake any of Gods ordinances, but only followed the word of God.
