THe emptiness of this spare Paper, tempts me to recite the Expo∣sition of that acute Commentator Maldonate; who, though a Jesuite, expounds our blessed Saviours Precept, Mat. 23.2,3. far o∣therwise, than this Advocate for the Jewish Chairmen doth. His words are these; Ergo cum jubet servare & facere, quae Scribae & Pharisaei, dum in cathedrâ Mosis sedent, dicunt, non de ipso∣rum, sed de Legis 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Moysis doctrinâ soquitur. Perinde est e∣nim ae si dicat; Omnia quae Lex & Moyses vobis dixerunt, Scri∣bis & Pharisaeis recitantibus, servate ac facite; secundum au∣rem opera illorum nolite facere; ut Hilarius & Hieronimus vi∣dentur intellexisse. The sense of his words is this;
Five captious questions propounded by a factor for the papacy answered by a divine of the Church of God in England by parallel questions and positive resolutions : to which is added an occasional letter of the Lord Viscount Falkland to the same gentleman, much to this present purpose.

Therefore when Christ bids them keep and do what the Scribes and Pharisees say, whiles they sit in the Chair of Moses, he speaks not of their own doctrine; but of that of the Law and of Moses. For it is all ove as if Christ say; All those things, which the Law and Moses have told you, when the Scribes and Pharisees recite them, do ye keep and perform; but do ye not according to their works, as Hilarie and Hie∣rome seem to have understood the Text.
Mark, that this learned Papist is constreyned by the force of truth, and uncontrollable evidence of the false doctrines of the Scribes and Pharisees, to imply tacitely that those Chairmen could teach a Doctrine far different from that of the Law and of Moses, and openly to overr that the Doctrine of the Law and Moses, (that might then be well known) was to be the Object, and limit of the Observance and Obedi∣ence enjoyned, as due to the Ministery of the Scribes and Pharisces. The Commentator, to justify his Exposition, alleges Hilarie and Hierome, two ancient and very learned Latine Fathers, seemingly at least to have been of his sense in the understanding our Saviours words.
