And is not the ministerie of teaching taken away in the church of the new testament by the saying of Ieremie chap. 31.34. A man shall not any more teach his neigh∣bour,* 1.1 but all shalbe taught of God?
No. 1. because Oratione Ecliptica, by this defectiue speech (as is that also. Gen. 32.28. Not Iacob shall thy name be called, but Israell) is signified, that the Elect shall not only be taught out∣wardly by the ministery of the word spoken, but also inwardly of God by the holy ghost, as it is said. 1. Iohn. 2.27. Ye haue noe need that any should teach you, but the annointing, that is the holy spi∣rit doth teach you all things,* 1.2 to wit by Pastors and Doctors.
2 Because the prophet speaks not simply, but by way of com∣parison. For in the old Testament, by Moses and the prophets were most things propounded obscurely, and vnder shadows and Types, and ••ccording to the letter onely, so that it was need∣full to demaund, what those Ceremonies meant, and when Christ shall come.
But in the new testament Christ being already exhibited, is plainely preached, and the vaile of the temple being rent, & the way into the holiest of all being opened, all these tipycall things are made manifest. Heb. 9.8. And they that haue the spirit of Christ do know all things, insomuch that now a childe of ten yeares old, to whome it is giuen to here and learne, doth more clearely vnderstand those things, then many priests did in times past, because the earth is full of the knowledge of the lord. Isa. 11, 9
