It is true, Luther holdeth that all commandments of law and Gospel, are then sweet, and Christs yoke easy, when the Spirit concurreth to make them sweet; but neither doth this cry down the Scriptures, nor make the Spirit, the only obliging rule, as Del, Town, Saltmarsh, Crisp, do.

tLuther, Ita dulcescunt praecepta Dei quando non in libris tantum, sed in vulneribus dulcissimi salvatoris legenda▪ intelligimus. wLuther, Duplex est lex: una Spiritus & fidei, quâ vivitur Deo, victis peccatis, impletâque lege: altera, lex literae & operum, quâ vivitur peccato nunquam impletâ lege, per legem enim suscitatur ⟨p. 141⟩odium legis, sed per fidē infunditur dilectio legis. Luth. tom. 4.88. Tu urges servum, hoc est, scripturam & eam non totam — sed locos de operibus, — Ego urgeo dominum (Christum) qui est Rex Scripturae, qui est factus mihi meritum & pretium justitiae & salutis. Then the law without Christ is the letter of bondage and fear. xLex literae & lex spiritus differunt, sicut signum & signatum: sicut verbum & res: Ideo obtentâ re, jam signo non est opus: Itaque neque justo lex est posita, habito enim solo signo, docemur rem ipsam quaerere. tLuther, So the Commandments of God, become sweet, when we understand them to be read, not only in books (then as written they are sweet,) but also in the wounds of the most sweet Saviour.
