IF it be said that Paul (when he saith in the iij. to the Romans, no flesh shall be, or can be justified by the deeds of the law) meaneth it of the ceremonies or sacrifices, it is an untrue saying. For it followeth immediately, by the law cometh the knowledge of sin. Now are they not the ceremonies that utter sin, but the law of commandments. In the iiij. (he saith) the law causeth wrath which can not be understand of the ceremonies, for they were given to reconcile the people to God again after they had sinned. If as they say the ceremonies 1which were given to purge sin and to reconcile, justify not, neither bless, but temporally only, much more the law of commandments justifieth not. For that which proveth a man sick, health him not, neither doth the cause of wrath bring to favour, neither can that which damneth save a man. When the mother commandeth her child, but even to rock the cradle, it grudgeth, the commandment doth but utter the poison that lay hid, and setteth him at bate with his mother, and maketh him believe she loveth him not.
IF it be sayd that Paul (when he saith in the iij. to the Romaines, no fleshe shalbe, or can be iustified by the deedes of the law) meaneth it of the ceremonies or sacrifices, it is an vntrue saying. For it foloweth immediatly, by the law commeth the knowledge of sinne. Now are they not the ceremonies that vtter sinne, but the law of cō maundementes. In the iiij. (he sayth) the law causeth wrath whiche can not bee vnderstand of the ceremonies, for they were geuen to reconcile the people to God agayne after they had sinned. If as they say the ceremonies 1which were geuen to purge sinne and to reconcile, iustifie not, neither blesse, but temporally onely, much more the law of commaundementes iustifieth not. For that whiche proueth a man sick, health him not, neither doth the cause of wrath bring to fauour, neither can that whiche damneth saue a man. When the mother commaundeth her childe, but euen to rocke the cradle, it grudgeth, the commaundement doth but vtter the poyson that lay hid, and setteth him at bate with hys mother, and maketh hym beleue shee loueth him not.
