About this there was no difference, as to the most of them with whom the Apostle treated: This he takes for granted. For the Professing Jews did not adhere to Mosaical Institutions, because God was their Author, not so of the Gospel; but because they were given from God by Moses, in such a manner, as never to be changed or abrogated.
