Hart. Our Saviour might speak these words of their lives, and not of their doctrines because they were wont to say, and not to do. As for the points which you say were glosses of the Scribes and Pharisees: some of the Fathers take them to be the law of Moses it self, corrected, and supplied, or rather perfected by Christ. So doth S. kChrysostom compare the one with the other, as the old law with the new: and saith that the commandments ⟨p. 319⟩of Moses are easy, refrain from murder and adultery; but the commandments of Christ hard, refrain from wrath and lust. So doth S. lAustin seem to have thought also.
