3. That Jesus Christ hath further made use of the same Moral Law, for a direction to his Subjects, whereby they may know his Will. That whereas your sincere subjection and obedience to Christ, is part of the condition of the ⟨p. 102⟩new Covenant; that we may know what his Will is, which we must endeavour to obey, and what Rule our actions must be sincerely fitted to, and guided by, he hath therefore left us this Moral Law as part of this direction, having added a more particular enumeration of some duties in his Gospel. That as when the old Covenant said, Thou shalt obey perfectly; the Moral Law did Partly tell them, wherein they should obey: So when the new Covenant saith, Thou shalt obey sincerely; the Moral Law doth tell us, wherein, or what we must endeavour to do.
