For as much as the law of the OLD TESTAMENT was given to one people and for a certain time only, as till the coming of Christ, 1that law might Easily determine all things in Special, as in deed it aid, for in special it prescribed all things &c. But the law of the gospel was given to all the world i.e, to the peoples of Sundry nations, and was moreover to endure to the end of the world, and therefore this law of the Gospel could not so easily Determine all things in particular as did the other, that no other laws might be supposed necessary then what are found in the new Test. Nor is it possible for diverse nations to agree together in the same laws and rites, and therefore God judged it far better if he delivered in the Gospel the most general and commune laws, leaving the more special things concerning the Sacraments and articles of faith to be ordered by the Apostles and their Successors according as circumstances of time and place should require.
