3. Because Christ in this very Chapter, Mat. 5. extendeth the sense further than the Decalogue: As v. 17. he adjoins the Prophets equally with the Law, which he came not to destroy. And thus he speaketh as the Jews, who distributed the Old Testament into the Law and Prophets, when by the Law they meant the Pentateuch. Now it is certain that all the Prophesies that say [The Messiah is not yet come, but shall come, and be incarnate, and that show the time and manner,] &c. are not now true de futuro, as they then spake; And yet they are not destroyed but fulfilled, and so cease as prophecies of things yet future. And so it is with the Positives of Moses Law. 2. V. 18. he saith universally, Till all he fulfilled, and not the Decalogue only. 3. V. 19. he extendeth it to the Least command. 4. V. 20. he extendeth it to all the Pharisees Righteousness, which was Righteousness indeed. 5. V. 21. [Whosoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the Judgement,] hath the political penalty in it, above the bare sixth Commandment. 6. V. 31. Whosoever shall put away his Wife, let him give her a writing ⟨p. 193⟩of divorcement, is not the bare seventh Commandment, but fetched from Deut. 24. 1. And this instance it self expoundeth, v. 17, 18. For when Christ had protested against destroying an iota or tittle of the Law, yet he changeth this very Law now cited by himself, so far as it indulgeth putting away; so that it is hence evident that be meaneth not that he came not to make a perfective change, but that he came not to indulge licentiousness, and Lust by a destructive change. Luk. 16. 18. 1 Cor. 7. 10. Mat. 19. 9. So 7. V. 33. Thou shalt not forswear thy self, &c. is fetched from, Lev. 19. 12, &c. 8. V. 38. An eye for an eye, &c. is fetched from Exod. 21. 24.
