made neither Davids nor Christs sufferings the worse, but their sin the greater who twisted such a Law. So that we need a new Logic from [Greek or Hebrew], the Eternal Word, as a directory to our Reasonings, as well as the common Logic which teacheth us the regulation of the operations of our minds.

made neither Davids nor Christs sufferings the worse, but their sin the greater who twisted such a Law. So that we need a new Logick from 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, the Eternal Word, as a directory to our Reasonings, as well as the common Logick which teacheth us the regulation of the operations of our minds.

II. As we are lame in our Feet by our Naturals, so even those who by the light of the Gospel and Grace are brought over to better understanding, yet by virtue of the old craziness they are not throughly illuminated and refined. The very Apostles themselves, Luke 18.34. were plainly told by our Saviour, that he should suffer Death, and rise again the third day, yet they understood none of these things; these sayings were hid from them, until he opened their understandings to understand the Scriptures, Luke 24.45. We have all a dark side, and Paul says, We know but in part, 1 Cor. 13.12. we see but one side of ⟨image 106⟩the Globe, we cannot view things round about, they are above our Hemisphere. These weak Jews were Zealous for their Ceremonies as being instituted by God, the Gentiles as hot for theirs; let no Man think himself infallible, for these were all out and mistaken. Form, Custom and Education do wonderfully confirm Men in Error: How hardly were People in our first Reformation drawn from their Prayers in Latin to English, yet they understood not Latin? as hardly would they still be weaned from little formalities, though it were to entertain the most real and reasonable service in the World. So great a Tyrant is tough custom over Phlegmatic Souls; so apt are Men to heats for trifles, by which Straw and Stubble they turn the Church into a Brick-kiln.
