Perhaps they will say, that God forbids, adding or diminishing: I answer, He doth so: Therefore let them take heed of it, who say his Law forbids that which it never forbade, but in general commandeth. If we must not add to the Laws of the Land, yet the Bookbinder that covereth them, and the Lawyers and Judges that expound them, do not add thereby to the Law. When the Hearers bowed, and prostrated themselves in reverence to God, they did not by this add to the Law; nor yet when they made a Vow uncommanded, or a Free-Will-Offering: And I think it was no sinful addition to the Law, for the Publican to smite his Breast, and look downward; and when Jeremiah said, No man smiteth on his thigh, and saith, what evil have I done?

And I think, that they that rent their clothes to express their repentance, did not add to God's Word, nor yet do it as necessary worship, tho Joel says, Rent your hearts, and not your garments.
