Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 15:10

10 Now therefore why tempt ye Cod , to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

Why would you make a doubt of, and put it to a trial, whether God did in good earnest admit the Gentiles to his favour, and whether he remains firm and constant in such his kindness towards them; they did tempt God also, by disliking the calling of the Gentiles, and would have brought Gods will, were it possible, unto theirs; not submitting their wills, as they ought, unto Gods, for he that sins in any kind, does tempt God; that is, he tries Gods patience, Power, and Righteousness.

So the Law of Ceremonies is called, Gal. 5.1. and was a yoke indeed, if we consider, 1. Their variety, 2. Their difficulty▪ 3. Their chargeableness, 4. Their inefficacy, being onely shadows of good things to come, Col. 2.17.
