Query. What was the Error they were corrupted with?
1. I answer, They were by some false Brethren taught to mix the Law and the Gospel ⟨p. 5⟩together in Justification, or to mix Works with Grace: and this is to pervert the Gospel of Christ, and obscure the Doctrine of Free-Grace.
2. They turned to Judaism in respect of the observation of Circumcision and Jewish days: How turn ye again to weak and beggarly Elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in Bondage? chap. 4. vers. 9. Ye having (as if he should say) attained to the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, the glorious Mediator, Sovereign Lord, and only Lawgiver of his Church, it is strange you should turn again to Moses, and so eclipse the Glory of Christ; this doth not comport with your former knowledge, and of that Revelation you have had of the Truth as it is in Jesus.
