EXPLICATION.
I Acknowledge that this Assertion is disputable and difficult: and many places of Scripture are usually produced which seem to contradict it. I know also that it the judgement of learned and godly men, that the Law, as it a Covenant of works, is quite null and repealed in regard of the Sins of believers: ⟨p. 51⟩yea, many do believe, that the Covenant of works is repealed to all the world, and only the Covenant of grace in force.
I Acknowledge that this Assertion is disputable and dificult: and many places of Scripture are usually produced which seem to contradict it. I know also that it the judgement of learned and godly men, that the Law, as it a Covenant of works, is quite null and repealed in regard of the Sins of beleevers: ⟨p. 51⟩yea, many do beleeve, that the Covenant of works is repealed to all the world, and only the Covenant of grace in force.
Against both these I maintain this Assertion, by the Arguments which you find under the following Position 13. And I hope, not withstanding that I extol free Grace as much, and preach the Law as little, in a forbidden sense, as though I held the contrary opinion.
