4 This is a general rule, whatsoever separateth man from God, or man from man, is abrogated:¹ but whatsoever conjoineth man to God, or man to man, is left still. In this respect the whole Law is abrogated, according to the rigour of the curse, for otherwise we could not stand before God: So in Christ now having found reconciliation we are more bound to keep the law moral then the Jews, because Gods commandments are more clearly revealed, and greater strength is now given against sin, therefore nothing is taken from the law that we should be careless: but the curse and condemnation of the law is done away, that we may have an entrance to God with boldness. Whatsoever separateth man from man, is abrogated; and so the ceremonial law is abrogated: that which is merely ceremonial, is merely abrogated: and that which is in part ceremonial, is in part only abrogated, as the Sabbath.²

4 This is a generall rule, whatsoeuer separateth man from God, or man from man, is abrogated:¹ but whatsoeuer conioyneth man to God, or man to man, is left still. In this respect the whole Law is abrogated, according to the rigour of the curse, for otherwise wee could not stand before God: So in Christ now hauing found reconciliation we are more bound to keepe the law morall then the Iewes, because Gods commandements are more cleerely reuealed, and greater strength is now giuen against sinne, therefore nothing is taken from the law that we should be carelesse: but the curse and condemnation of the law is done away, that wee may haue an entrance to God with boldnes. Whatsoeuer separateth man from man, is abrogated; and so the ceremoniall law is abrogated: that which is meerely ceremoniall, is meerely abrogated: and that which is in part ceremoniall, is in part onely abrogated, as the Sabbath.²
