1And these words of the Lord must be weighed more diligently, to the end we may perceive the great fruit that is in them [Greek or Hebrew]: that is I will lay upon you none other weight or burden, besides this that you have. The Lord affirmeth that he will add nothing more to the doctrine evangelical set forth by the Apostles, as to that which is most perfect. Certes if the doctrine of Moses were so perfect, that the Lord him self did prohibit, that no man should add or take away any thing from the same, but only should do that which was commanded, as we read in the .4. and .12. Chap. of Deut. Who would doubt that there should want any thing in the doctrine of Christ the Son of God? He therefore now affirmeth, that he will lay nothing upon them, more then he had laid, and the which they bear at that time.

He therfore now affirmeth, that he wil lay nothing vpon them, more then he had laid, and the which they beare at that time.
