John Trapp on Ezekiel 20:18

Ver. 18. Walk ye not in the ſtatutes of your fathers] With this text Frederike the fourth, Prince Palatine, anſwered another Prince who preſſed him to be of his late Noble Fathers Religion. Laban ſwore by the god of Nahor, or Abram, and of their idolatrous Fathers: but Jacob ſware by the Fear of his Father Iſaac, his immediate Father more right in Religion, Gen. 31.53. Joſhua would not follow the footſteps of his forefathers, chap. 24. but a better precedent. Chriſt ſaith ego ſum Veritas, non Vetuſtas: and contradicteth that which was ſaid of old by thoſe Kadmonim, who had corrupted the letter of the law by their falſe gloſſes, Mat. 5.21. Antiquity muſt have no more authority then it can maintaine.
