arise fruit grows stay sun till
His fruit is but such as grows upon the stony ground, but stay till the sun of persecution arise and scorch him.
christian law punishment
Though we have clear and full scriptures in the New Testament for abolishing the Ceremonial law, yet we nowhere read in all the new Testament of the abolishing of the Judicial law, so far as it did concern the punishing of sins against the Moral law, of which Heresy and seducing of souls is one, and a great one. Once God did reveal his will for punishing those sins by such and such punishments. He who will hold that the Christian Magistrate is not bound to inflict such punishments for such sins, is bound to prove that those former laws of God are abolished, and to shew some scripture for it.
determination law way
There is nothing which any way pertaineth to the worship of God left to the determination of human laws.
