Rainoldes. His words belong properly to the instruction of hearers: that they despise not the doctrine of God for the faults of teachers. So are they both a warrant, and a restraint by consequent. A warrant, for teachers to be obeyed in all things, which they shall say out of the law. A restraint, for hearers not to do those things whi•h the teachers say, if they shall teach against the law. As letters of credence given by Princes unto their ambassadors, do warrant them, for their commission; restrain them, if they go beyond it.

Hart. But the commission here is general for all things that concern teachers. For Christ expressly s•ith: observe ye and do ye. Now, 3we observe points of faith; we do precepts of manners. Wherefore, whatsoever the Scribes and Pharisees taught either of faith, or manners: they were to be obeyed in it.
