from the 12th Verfe, the corrupt Doctrines they taught, and the Traditi ons they pretended to deliver as from the Fathers, which not only had no Foundation in, but were contrary to the Word of God. This Caution is not inconfiftent with our Lord's commanding the People to obferve and do what foever they bid them, Mat. 23. 3. For our Lord's Meaning there is, that they fhould obferve them fo far, as what they taught was agreeable to the Laws of God; but if their Inftructions did interfere with any Duty required by God, then they were not to obferve them.

It is moreover obfervable, that thefe People placed much of their Religion in outward Obfervances, which contributed little or nothing to the Sanctification of the Soul, which we ought chiefly to have an eye to in all our religious Performances. On which account they are often flyled Hypocrites.
