"our Lord Jesus Christ is not come into the world . . . to abolish that which was established by God his Father"

"we know then that this order is inviolable, and [that] our Lord Jesus Christ is not come into the world to make such confusion as to abolish that which was established by God his Father."

"nous sçavons donc que cest ordre-là est inviolable et nostre Seigneur Iesus Christ n’est pas venu au monde pour faire une telle confusion, que ce qui est establi de Dieu son Pere soit aboli."
