7. Of the Old Testament.
THe Old Testament is not contrary to the New, for both in the Old and new Testament, ever∣lasting life is offered to mankinde by Christ, who is the onely Mediator between God and man, being both God and man. Wherefore they are not to be heard which feigne that the old fathers did look onely for transitory promises. Although the Law given from God by Moses, as touching Ceremo∣nies and Rites, do not binde Christian men, nor the civill precepts thereof ought of necessity to be recei∣ved in any Common wealth: yet notwithstanding, no Christian man whatsoever, is free from the obe∣dience of the Commandments, which are called Morall.
