1The 17. ground is out of Galath. 5.1. Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free. For the meaning of which we must know, that Christian liberty which we are exhorted to maintain, standeth in a double freedom: First, from the Moral law: secondly, from the Ceremonial. From the Moral law two ways: first, from the curse of the law, Rom. 8.1. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ. Secondly, from the rigour of it, which requireth personal and perfect obedience: this rigour is moderated by Christ; whence followeth a freedom also from justification by works, Rom. 5.1. Galath. 5.4. The second freedom is, from the Ceremonial law, which having an end put to it by Christ, bindeth no man: but our liberty is procured to us in meats, drinks, and all things indifferent with good conscience, seeing to the pure all things are pure, Tit. 1.25. Where we are commanded to stand fast, we see the weight of it to be such, as it may not be departed from, nor forsaken, for then we become debtors again to the whole law, and so are fallen from Christ.
1The 17. ground is out of Galath. 5.1. Stand fast in the libertie wherewith Christ hath made you free. For the meaning of which we must know, that Christian libertie which wee are exhorted to maintaine, standeth in a double freedome: First, from the Morall law: secondly, from the Ceremoniall. From the Morall law two waies: first, from the curse of the law, Rom. 8.1. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ. Secondly, from the rigour of it, which requireth personall and perfect obedience: this rigour is moderated by Christ; whence followeth a freedome also from iustification by workes, Rom. 5.1. Galath. 5.4. The second freedome is, from the Ceremoniall law, which hauing an end put to it by Christ, bindeth no man: but our libertie is procured to vs in meates, drinkes, and all things indifferent with good conscience, seeing to the pure all things are pure, Tit. 1.25. Where we are commaunded to stand fast, wee see the weight of it to be such, as it may not be departed from, nor forsaken, for then we become debters againe to the whole law, and so are fallen from Christ.
