Luther dales, 1 he whol world is but one day, (as it were.) And as the evening, and the morning made the day ; lo (tales he) our fore fathers the Jews, they had the evening but m e Lve the morning. Again. hough there m ere many Eatrines of Grace, and mercy communicated to our tore falers the Jews : Yet notwithltanoing they u were to temperedwith the Law, that thevery Corpel ieern'd to be aw to them : As now, we have theLaw among us, but 'tis to ternper'd with, the Colpel ; that the Law it tell is Cotpel-wire to us. They had h rift in the hand of .11-, vies, and we have Nofeszn the handofCht'iit.

They had the fpirit of Bondage unto fear; and we have theSpirit ofAdoption untoLove, to cry, M a Abba, 3, 4. Ga/.4.1'
