5. God every where sends his people to the Written Law of Moses, for the Rule of their Obedience, no where unto any Kabal, Deut. 11.32. and chap. 10.12, 13. Chap. 28.1. Josh. 1.7, 8. Chap. 23.6. 2 Chron. 30.18. Isa. 8.20. If there be such an Oral Law it is one that God would not have any man to observe; which he calls none to the Obedience of, nor did ever reprove any man for its Transgression.

And many more Arguments of the like nature may be added to prove the vanity of § 14 this pretence. And yet this Figment is the bottom of the present Judaical Religion and obstinacy. When the Apostle wrote this Epistle, their Apostasy was not yet arrived at this rock of offence; since their falling on it, they have increased their blindness, misery, and ruin. Then they were contented to try their cause by what God spake to their Fathers in the Prophets, which kept open a door of hope, and gave some advantages for their Conversion, which are now shut up and removed, until God shall take this veil away from their faces, that they may see to the end of the things that were to be done away.
