Chap. IIII.
That the Lavv vvas fit for the time of nonnage: but being novv come to ful age, to
desire such seruitude is absurd, specially for Gentils. 12 And that he vvriteth this
not of any displeasure, but to tel them the truth, remembring hovv pa&esset;ingly they
honoured him vvhen he vvas present, and exhorting them therfore not to harken
to the false Apostles in his absence. 21 By the allegorie also of Abrahams tvvo
sonnes, shevving, that the children of the Ievves Synagogue shal not inherite,
but vve vvho are the children of the free vvoman: that is, of the Cath. Church
of Christ.
1 noteAnd I say, as long as the heire is a litle
one, he differeth nothing from a seruant,
although he be lord of al,
2 but is vnder
tutors and gouernours vntil the time limited
of the father:
3 so vve also, vvhen
vve vvere litle ones, vvere09Q1209 seruing vnder
the note elem&ebar;tes of the vvorld.
4 But vvhen
the fulnes of time came, God sent his sonne made of a vvoman,
made vnder the Lavv:
5 that he might redeeme them
that vvere vnder the Lavv, that vve might receiue the adoption
of sonnes.
6 And because you are sonnes, note God hath
sent the Spirit of his sonne into your hartes crying: Abba,
Father.
7 Therfore novv he is not a seruant, but a sonne. And
if a sonne, an heire also by God. &cross4;
8 But then in deede not
knowing God, you serued them that by nature are not Gods.
9 But novv vvhen you haue knovven God, or rather are
knovven of God: hovv turne you againe to the09Q1210 vveake &
poore elements, vvhich you vvil serue againe?
10 09Q1211You obserue
daies, and moneths, and times, and yeres.
11 I feare you,
-- --
lest perhaps I haue laboured in vaine among you.
12 Be ye as
I, because I also am as you: brethren, I beseeche you, you
haue hurt me nothing.
13 And you knovv that by infirmitie
of the flesh I euangelized to you heretofore:
14 and your
tentation in my flesh you despised not, neither reiected, but
note as an Angel of God you receiued me, as Christ Iesvs.
15 Vvhere is then your blessednes? for I giue you testimonie
that if it could be done, you vvould haue plucked out your
eies and haue giuen them to me.
16 Am I then become your
enemie, telling you the truth?
17 They emulate you not vvel:
but they vvould exclude you, that you might emulate them.
18 But do you emulate the good in good alvvaies: and not
only vvhen I am present vvith you.
19 My litle children, vvhom I trauail vvithal againe, vntil
Christ be formed in you.
20 And I vvould be vvith you now
and chaunge my voice: because I am confounded in you.
21 Tel me you that vvil be vnder the Lavv, haue you not read
the Lavv? note
22 For it is vvritten that note Abraham had tvvo
sonnes: one of the bond-vvoman, and one of the free-vvoman.
23 But he that of the bond-vvoman, vvas borne according
to the flesh: and he that of the free-vvoman, by the
promisse.
24 vvhich things are said09Q1212 by an allegorie. For these
are the tvvo testaments. The one from mount Sina, gendring
vnto bondage: vvhich is Agar,
25 (for Sina is a mountaine
in Arabia, note vvhich hath affinitie to that vvhich novv is Hierusalem)
and serueth vvith her children.
26 But that Hierusalem
vvhich is aboue, is free: vvhich is our mother.
27 For it
is vvritten: Reioyce thou barren, that bearest not: breake forth and crie, that
trauailest not: because many are the children of the desolate, more then of her that
hath a husband. note
28 But note we brethren, according to Isaac, are the
children of promis.
29 But note as then he that vvas borne according
to the flesh, persecuted him that vvas after the spirit:
so novv also.
30 But vvhat saith the Scripture? Cast out the bond-vvoman
and her sonne. for the sonne of the bond-vvoman shal not be heire vvith
the sonne of the free-vvoman. note
31 Therfore brethren vve are not the
children of the bond-vvoman, but of the free: by the09Q1213 freedom
vvherevvith Christ hath made vs free. &cross4;
