Institutes 2.11.13 — THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO TESTAMENTS.

**THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO TESTAMENTS.**

The whole difference between the Old and New Testaments has, I think, been fully and faithfully explained, under these four or five heads in so far as requisite for ordinary instruction. But since this variety in governing the Church, this diversity in the mode of teaching, this great change in rites and ceremonies, is regarded by some as an absurdity, we must reply to them before passing to other matters. And this can be done briefly, because the objections are not so strong “Firmæ,” French, “Ne si fortes, ne si urgentes;”—neither so strong, nor so pressing.
