The words of Jer. 31:33, 34 and 1 Jn. 2:27 are not to be understood absolutely and simply (as if it was no longer necessary for believers under the New Testament dispensation to use the Scriptures, otherwise there would have been no use in John's writing to them), but relatively because on account of the more copious effusion of the Holy Spirit under the New Testament dispensation they are not to be so laboriously taught as under the Old by rude and imperfect elements.
