Position. 2 Jesus Christ, the Apostle and H•gh Priest of our Profession, is to be considered, by all holy Brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, as not inferior in his Office to Moses: For, as t•e Office of Moses reached to all the House of God, and all the Service of it under the Law; so Christs Office reacheth to all the Church of God, and all the Service of it under the Gospel 2. And whatsoever Christ did institute or abrogate in the Christian Churches, he did it by Gods appointment; as Moses, by Gods appointment, gave out what he delivered in the Church of Israel. 3. And Christ is no less faithful therein, then Moses was, Heb. 3.2, 3. So that it is as unlawful for men to alter the Ordinances of Christ given to Christian Churches, under the Gospel, or to add thereunto, or to diminish ought therefrom, as it was under the Law, Deut. 12.32. Mat. 28.20.
