Doth this speech of Christ Math. 23.2. the Scribes and Pha∣risees sit in Moses chaire, whatsoeuer they say doe yee, allow of traditions or opinions con∣trarie to the word of God?

No, in no case, but of Moses his constitutions and manner of gouernment which were by the ordinance of God, for heere indeed they were to be heard, howsoeuer in other things they did wickedly. Thus much the metaphor, or borrowed speech of the Chaire, doth import, which they did occupie as the Teachers of Moses Lawe. And he that bids to heare the Pharisees, if they teach out of Moses, else where warneth his disciples to beware of their Leauen; Math. 16.6. so neyther ought that saying. Luke. 10 16. He which heareth you, heareth mee, to be applied to opinions contrarie to the Gospell.
