The Texts cited by you prove no more than what we hold as confidently as you: viz, 1. That all the Law of Nature, (where the Matter or Nature of the things continue) is continued by Christ, and is his principal Law. 2. That the Decalogue as to that matter of it, is continued as it is the Law of Nature (which is almost all that is in it,) but not as the Jewish Law given by Moses hands to the Political body. 3. That the Natural part of all the rest of Moses Law is continued as well as the Decalogue. 4. That all Moses Law as well as the Decalogue shall be fulfilled, and Heaven and Earth shall sooner pass away than one jot or tittle of it shall pass till it be fulfilled. 5. That the Elements, Shadows, Predictions, Preparations, &c. are all fulfilled by the coming of Christ, and by a more perfect Administration. For Christ fulfilled all Righteousness, Mat. 3. 15. ([Greek or Hebrew] is sometimes put materially for [Greek or Hebrew],) 6. That a change may be two ways made, 1. By destroying a thing. 2. By perfecting it. And that by the Law in Matth. 5. 17, &c. Christ meaneth, the whole body of Gods Law then in force to the Jews, considered as one frame, consisting of Natural and Positive parts. Of which he saith, that he came not [Greek or Hebrew], to dissolve, pull in pieces or destroy the Law, as a licentious Teacher, that would take off Gods obligations, and leave the Wills and Lusts of men to a Lawless liberty (which was it that the Pharisees imputed to such as were against the ⟨p. 190⟩Law:) But that he came to bring in a greater strictness, a righteousness not only exceeding that of his accusers, v. 20. but instead of destroying it, to perfect the Law it self, that is, to bring in a perfecter Administration and Edition of the Law. So that as Generation turneth semen in suppositum, and so doth do away the seed, not by destroying it, but by changing it into a perfecter being; and as Paul saith, 1 Cor. 13. 16, 17, 18. When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away; When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood (or was affected) as a child, I thought (or reasoned) as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things, &c. not that the child or his knowledge is destroyed, but perfected, and changed into better; And yet many Acts of his childish reasonings may cease;
