Again, this property of the Law, in being unchangeable, and for ever to be kept, showeth, that no creature may dispense with the Law of 1God. Mens laws may be abrogated and changed, but Gods Law even in the least parts thereof, must stand for ever, till it be accomplished to the full: but if it might be dispensed with, then not only jots and titles thereof, but whole laws might be abrogated. This shows the blasphemous impiety of the Popes of Rome, who in their lCanons be authorized to dispense with the laws of God: yea, in the last mCouncil of Trent, he is privileged to dispense with some of the laws of Consanguinity, against nature, flatly forbidden in the nword of God; which is most horrible rebellion, and a great disgrace unto God.
