§. 3. Tempt. 2. Saith the Tempter, It is a duty to weak ones, but not for you: You must not be 1still under Ordinances, in the lower form: every day must be a Sabbath to you, and every bit a Sacrament, and every place as a Church: you must live above Ordinances in Christ.
- 1Tempt. 2.
§. 4. Direct. 2. We must live above Mosaical Ordinances, Col. 2. 18. 21. but not above Christs Ordinances:1 unless you will live above obedience, and above the Government of Christ: Hath not Christ2 appointed the Ministry and Church helps, till we all come to a perfect man? Ephes. 4. 13. and promised to be with them to the end of the world? Matth. 28. 20. It is befooling Pride that can make you think you have no need of Christs instituted means.
