L. Ridley. D.D. –
“Christ hath taken away the law as touching the ceremonial and judicial laws.
Yea, and the moral law also, that it shall be done no more for fear ...
as in time past. Christ hath taken away the law as touching the
ceremonials and judicials, that it is not now necessary to keep them. ... For
life everlasting may be without circumcision and other such like ceremonial
laws. ... As touching moral precepts Christ hath not taken them away, but that
they shall not be done for fear of the law, for fear of hell, but for the love
of God, with all gladness of heart.” – Commentary on Ephesians.
Article VII—Of the Old Testament.
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.
