LECTURE XX.
MATTH. 5. 21, 22. You have heard it hath been said by them of old, &c.
There remain two Questions more to be decided in this business, concerning Christs interpretation of the Law of Moses: The one is about the lawfulness of repelling force by force: The other about applying our selves to the Magistrate, to defend us against the injury, and violence of others. Now, that I may not be tedious in the discussing of these, I will lay down some few grounds that serve to the clearing of the truth herein, and so proceed to other matter, although (as you have heard) this tendeth much to the dignity and excellency of the Law.
