A Treatise of Miscellany Questions: Wherein Many Usefull Questions & Cases of Conscience Are Discussed & Resolved: For the Satisfaction of Those, Who ... Truths, in the Controversies of These Times by George Gillespie

If any object (as some fanatic persons have done), Jer. 31.34, And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, &c., 1 John 2.27, And ye need not that any man teach you, I answer, [1.] These scriptures are to be understood comparatively, in the same sense as God said he would have mercy and not sacrifice, Hos. 6.6. The Spirit of illumination and knowledge shall be so abundantly poured forth under the gospel, and God shall so write his laws in the hearts of his people, that there shall be almost as much difference between those under the old covenant and those under the new covenant, as there is between those that need a teacher and those that need not a teacher.
