The Old Testament is not contrary to the New: for both in the Old
and New Testament everlasting life is offered to mankind by Christ,
who is the only Mediator between God and man, being both God and
man. Wherefore they are not to be heard, which feign that the old
Fathers did look only for transitory promises. Although the Law
given from God by Moses, as touching Ceremonies and Rites, do not
bind Christian men, nor the civil precepts thereof ought of
necessity to be received in any Commonwealth; yet notwithstanding,
no Christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the
Commandments which are called Moral.
