This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
You ought to be ruled by us, and guided by us, who are your rulers, and your teachers: so early did the doctrine of implicit faith and obedience creep into the world; which is indeed to suppose an infallibility in teachers and rulers; to whom indeed we owe all imaginable reverence, but we must live by our own faith. And though the Jews were bound to do according to the sentence that the priests and Levites in Jerusalem should show them, Deu_17:10,11; yet it must be the sentence of the law, and it was in civil matters, as appeareth by Joh_7:8, controversies between blood and blood, plea and plea, stroke and stroke.
