The second difference he makes is, That God seeing sin in those of the Old Testament, did therefore punish them and afflict them for sin but he doth not this under the Gospel. Hereupon he showeth, how Moses for a word was strucken with death, and so Jonah, Uzzah, Eli: these had sudden punishments upon them. Hence also (saith he) came there terrible famines upon them. Now who seeth not how weak and absurd these arguments are? For, doth not the Apostle 1 Cor. 11. speaking of those under the New Testament, that some were sick, and some did sleep, and that they were judged of the Lord? were not Ananias and Sapphira stricken dead immediately? Are there not famines, pestilence, and the bloody war upon men under the Gospel? Besides, these assertions are contradictions to themselves: for if their arguments from Gods Law, and from Christ prove the ⟨p. 217⟩quite taking away of sin, and the punishments of it; then it holdeth as firmly for all believers as for some.
