In respect of all these things that hitherto have bin delivered, the Law of God is called the Moral Law: for there is a four-fold consideration of the Law of God. One as it is an absolute and perfect comprehension of all duties whatsoever, whereupon it hath the name of the Moral Law. Another, as it is the Image & Sampler, whereunto men & Angels were created in all Wisdom and Holiness at the beginning. And so it is properly termed the Law of Nature. The third, as it containeth the covenant of works. In which regard, Paul is wont for the most part to term it the Law, and sometimes the ^eLaw of Works. The last, as it is a rule and direction for renewed Holiness, or the works of Grace and Sanctification. And in that sense, John calleth it the new Law or Commandment, 1. John 2. 8.
