5 It is true, love is more then outward things, and the greatest commandment next to the love of God. But loves excellency stands not in this, that we must break any Commandment of God, to please our Brethren in love. Christ should have the preeminence in all things above our Brother.
5 It is true, love is more then outward things, and the greatest commandement next to the love of God. But loves excellency stands not in this, that we must breake any Commandement of God, to please our Brethren in love. Christ should have the preheminence in all things above our Brother.
6. Saltmarsh hath no warrant to call the Commandments of Christ in outward things such as to read, and search the Scriptures, to preach the Gospel, to hear the preaching of faith, to be baptised, worldly rudiments, which name, Gal. 4.9. and worse, yea the name of weak and beggarly rudiment; Paul giveth to Jewish Ceremonies,1 that were then in their use unlawful. Christ speaketh more honourably of the Commandments of the New Testament, Mat. 28.20. teaching them to observe all whatsoever I have commanded you, Joh. 15.14. You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you, Joh. 13.17. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them, Mat. 12.50. whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, my sister, and my mother, Mat. 7.21. Not every one that saith, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven, but he that doth the will of my Father which is heaven.
