ANABAP. ANSWER.

It cannot be denied, that in the time of the old Testament set and stinted forms were used, but the case is different with us; for under the Gospel we have more light of knowledge and many speciall gifts of the Spirit which they had not: they were in their non-age, and as children used these forms like festra's, which they that can read perfectly cast away; or as those that learn to swim make use of bladders, which they put from under them after they can swim of themselves securely.
