TO CHAP. XIV.
His 14th Chapter is spent in Examining and answering a Reason that I gave of my second Answer to his Objection, which was propounded and cleared in the former Chapter. The Reason was this. The Church of Christ received many thousand Jews, who believed on the Name of Christ, although they were still zealous of the Law, and saw not the beggarly emptiness of Moses his Ceremonies, Act. 21.20. And the Apostle Paul directeth the Romans to receive such unto them, as were weak in the faith, and saw not their liberty from the servile difference of Meats and Days, but still lay under the bondage of the Law. Yea he wished them to receive such upon this ground, because Christ had received them, Rom. 14.1. to 6. And lest it should be objected, there was not the like danger of lying under bondage to Moses, as to Antichrist; It was said, that even the bondage under Moses was such, as that if it were continued in, after instruction and conviction, it would separate them from Christ, (Gal. 5.2.) and bondage under Antichrist could do no more.
