Traditions were both in the Church of the Jews,1 and in the Churches of the Gentiles; the Jewish traditions were called the traditions of the Elders, not because they were enjoined them by their Sanhedrin or College of Elders, but because they were brought in by their fathers after the captivity, the most of them after the rising of the sect of the Pharisees. For among them was that distinction, of the Law written, and the Law by word of mouth: this Law by word of mouth is the Cabalistical Theology, 2a Divinity so greatly in request amongst the Pharisees; but how well our Saviour Christ liked those traditions may appear, Matth. 15.
