The 20. Sermon.
COLOSS. 2. V. 20. 21. 22. 23. 20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the ordinances of the world, why, as though ye lived in the world, are ye burdened with traditions? 21 As touch not, taste not, handle not. 22 Which all perish with the using, and are after the commandments and doctrines of men: 23 Which things have indeed a show of wisdom, in voluntary religion, and humbleness of mind, and in not sparing the body, neither have they it in any estimation to satisfy the flesh.

THERE were among the Colossians two sorts of false doctrines, under covert brought in among them: one of the ceremonies of the Law, which now were taken away: the other of the inventions of mans brain. Of the first, viz. of the circumcision, and Sabbaths, we have heard, and of the use of them now overthrown. For the other, which had a vain show of wisdom, we have heard, on the worshipping of Angels, that though it have a show, yet hath it no wisdom at all in it. Now he proceedeth to other devices & corruptions, which were crept in among them, in regard of which the Apostle speaketh after this sort.
