To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The main duties and ordinances are prescribed indeed, but their circumstances and manner of performance are left as matters of Christian liberty, and only couched under some general rules: which is a great difference between the legal and gospel state. Under the law all ceremonies and circum- stances are exactly prescribed: but in the gospel we read of some general rules of direction for Christians' carriage in all circumstantial things. These four especially contain all the directions of scrip...ture concerning circumstantials. "All things to be done decently and in order. ''^ "All to be done for edification. "2 "Give no offence. "^ "Do all to the glory of God. "'' So that the particular circumstances are left to Chris- tian liberty with the observation of general rules. It is evident as to baptism and the Lord's supper, ^ which are unquestion- ably of divine institution, yet as to the circumstances of the administration of them, how much less circumstantial is Christ than Moses was. As to circumcision and the passover under the law, the age, time, persons, manner, place, form, all fully set down; but nothing so under the gospel.
