Galatians5:13
Verſe 13. Only uſe not your liberty] In maxima libertate, minima licentia. Therefore are men the worſe, becauſe they ſhould be better. Chriſt came to call ſinners, not to licentiouſneſſe, but to repentance, Mar. 2.17. to take his yoke upon them, Mat. 11.29. to hire out their members ſervants to righteouſneſſe, Rom. 6.16. Hence it is, that as S. Pauls Epiſtles largely prove free election and juſtification by Chriſt: So the Epiſtles of Iames, Peter, and Iohn, preſſe to love and new obedience, leſt any ſhould argue from mercy to liberty.
