The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 27

Isaac Barroav, D.D., Master of Trinity College, Cambridge

Isaac Barroav, D.D., Master of Trinity College, Cambridge.

St. Paul, the great patron and champion of Christian liberty, not obscurely declareth his mind that Christians of strength in judgment did regard no day above another, but esteemed all days (he excepteth none) alike, as to any special obligation, grounded upon divine law and right; in subordination to which doctrine we may add that this appears to have been the common opinion of the wisest and most orthodox Christians in the primitive church. . . . This law, as it was not known or practised before Moses, so it ceased to oblige after Christ; being one of the shadows which the evangelical light dispelled, one of the burdens which the law of liberty did take of us.—A Brief Exposition of the Lord's Prayer and Decalogue, 1681.
