The Law of God a perfect Law. [ LXXX]
THere is a saying,* 1.1New Lords, new Lawes. Good Lords make good Lawes, Ty∣rants
make cruell Lawes, and Fooles make absurd Lawes. Inerrability is
not tyed to the chair of the best Law-giver; Councills, though Oecumenicall,
may, and have erred. That Law which was suitable to former times, is repealed
in these, and these may not hereafter be approved in those that follow. But the
Law of God is a perfect Law,* 1.2 ever in force, unalterable, so full, that it needeth not
to be eeked out by any Traditions, or human inventions whatsoever; which to
do, were in effect no more, than to add supernumerary limbs to a compleat
body.
