Against this interpretation, the place of Paul may be objected, Rom. 14. 6. He that observes the day, observes it to the Lord. Ans. Indeed Paul in these words excuseth the Romans that §35observed days, and saith, that their intention was to observe them to the honour of God: and this he saith, because as yet they were not fully instructed touching Christian liberty: but withal, let it be remembered, that in mild sort he notes this to be a fault in them, when he saith, that they were weak in faith. Now ⟨p. 315⟩the case was otherwise with the Galatians: because they observed days after they had bin informed touching their liberty in Christ: and withal they placed their salvation, in part, in the observation of days: and thus they mixed the Gospel with the law. And therefore they were justly to be blamed.

Indeede Paul in these words excuseth the Romanes that §35obserued daies, and saith, that their intention was to obserue them to the honour of God: and this he saith, because as yet they were not fully instructed touching Christian libertie: but withall, let it be remembred, that in mild sort he notes this to be a fault in them, when he saith, that they were weake in faith. Now ⟨p. 315⟩the case was otherwise with the Galatians: because they obserued daies after they had bin informed touching their libertie in Christ: and withall they placed their saluation, in part, in the obseruation of daies: and thus they mixed the Gospel with the law.
