In the times of the Old Testament, they came […] Moses for the Law (under God,) and they receiv• ⟨p. 355⟩the Law from his mouth: What saith Moses? was the saying then. So now in these times of the Gospel, we are to have recourse unto Jesus, and to receive the Law at his mouth, What saith Jesus? And therefore saith our Saviour, It hath been said unto you, Thou shalt not kill; and, Thou shalt not commit Adultery: But I say unto you, and I say unto you — Why? — What, because (as the Socinians would) Christ made any addition to the Law? No: but because now (as for other Reasons) we are to receive the Law from his mouth, from the mouth of Jesus.
