1. I deny the consequent, No Law of man1 can abrogate, or disannul the Law of GOD. It ⟨p. 32⟩is not the Law of man, but the Law of God,2 which is the Rule of our Conscience. The Law of Man may clear Thee from civill penalties in the outward Court, and before the Magistrate: but it cannot free Thee from the guilt of sin in the Court of Conscience, and vengeance due by the Moral Law.
