It may not be passed by / that he in the beginning of the first of thes sections / matched the laws off the Jews / which were the laws given by God him self / with the laws of the most barbarous / and Profane Tyrant that ever was: such is the reverence he beareth to the laws of God. Note also that where I say / that I vvill join with him, that the transgressions off the law under the gospel, are to be severelyer punished, then they were under the law: He in pretending / and making a brag that he would join / slippeth me clean a side / and saith / that he will join with me that the magistrate is not bound to the judicial law off Moses, for the manner off punishing: as though that were any thing like / that which I propounded. And in that he answereth no one word / to the two reasons which I alleged / that is to say / for that both the knowledge off the law is greater now then then, and other gifts off the spirit off God, whereby the law should be better kept, more abundantly poured ⟨p. CXIX⟩out now then then: he doth not only slip a side / but turneth his blind parts towards me.
