Ansvver to the Admonition. Pag. 30. Sect. 2.

TO proue that these things only are to be placed in gods Church,* 1.1 whiche God himselfe in his word commaundeth, is noted the fourth and the twelfth of Deut. Ye shall put nothing to thevvord that I commaund you, neither shall you take any thing therefrom. &c. And in the other place: VVhatsoeuer I cōmaund you take heed you do it, thou shalt put nothing thereto, nor take ought therefrom. God in the old law to his people, prescribed perfect and absolute lawes, not only morall and iudiciall, but ceremoniall also: neither was there the lest thing to be done in the Church omitted in the law. And therefore for them at that time, and during that state, it was not lawfull to adde any thing, nor to take any thing away no not in ceremonies and other ciuill lawes: now in the time of the Gospell God hath left vnto his Church expressed in his word a perfect rule of faith and manners, and sufficient to saluation, and cursed is he that shal adde any thing to it, or take any thing from it in that behalfe, for therein it is per∣fec te and absolute. But as he hath lefte the iudiciall lawe to the dis∣cretion of the magistrate, to adde there vnto or take therefrom, or al∣〈1 line〉〈1 line〉er and change the same, so that no law be made against the rule of faith and good manners expressed in the word of God. &c.
