The Law-book whereby we are tried contains three leaves, Nature, the Law, and the Gospel: the Gentiles must be tried by the first the unbelieving Jews and Gentiles by the second, and the faithful Jews and Gentiles by the last. Those that confess no God but nature, must be judged by the law of nature: those that confess a God, no Christ, must be judged by the Law of God without the merits of Christ: those that confess God the Father, and believe in God the Son, shall be judged by the Gospel, which reconcileth us to God the Father by the merits of Christ. Atheists by the law of nature, infidels by the law of God, Christians by the Gospel of our Saviour Christ. To the statutes of the former who can answer? our hope is in the latter, we appeal to the Gospel, and by the Gospel we shall have our trial: They that have sinned without the law; 1shall perish without the law; and they that have sinned under the law, shall be judged by the law. 2But God shall judge the secrets of all ⟨p. 114⟩hearts (of all our hearts) by Jesus Christ according to my Gospel, Rom. 2.12.16.
