2. I think the Moral Law, taken either for the Law given to Adam or written in Tables of stone, is not a sufficient Rule to us now for believing in Jesus Christ; no nor the same Law of nature, as still in force under Christ. For a general command of believing all that God reveal […], is not the only Rule of our faith; but the particular revelation and precept are part. And a general command to submit to what way God shall prescribe for our justification and salvation, is not the only Rule, but that particular prescript is part.
