Answ. 1. It is in the Original only, [for ages and ages;] or to generations and generations] which we translate [for ever] when it signifieth but [to many generations]. 2. It is no where said, of Moses Law as such, that it should continue either till the end of the world, or till the day of Judgement, 1as it is said of the Gospel. And 3.

But here in the Gospel he peremptorily resolveth against all innovations and additions.
