Of justification four disputations clearing and amicably defending the truth against the unnecessary oppositions…

Mr. Blake adds [Unbelief, if we speak properly, doth not at all condemn, further then as it is a breath of a Moral Commandment. The privation of which you speak, only holds the sentence of the Law in force and power against us: which me thinks should be your judgement as well as mine, seeing you are wont to compare the new Law (as you call it) to an act of oblivion: And an act of oblivion saves many, but condemns none. —]

Repl. It is in more then one thing I perceive that we differ. But this is a truth that you must not so easily take out of our hands. Though having had occasion to speak largely of it elsewhere, I shall say but little now.

First, Again, I know no Commandment that is not moral. But if you mean by Moral the Commandment either merely as delivered by Moses, or as written in Nature; I am not of your mind, nor ever shall be. To be void of the belief of these Articles of the faith [that this Jesus is the Christ, that he was actually conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried: Rose again the third day, ascended into Heaven; sitteth in our nature at the right hand of God; gave the Holy Ghost to his Apostles to confirm the Doctrine of the Gospel] with many more; doth condemn further then as it is a breach either of the Mosaical or Natural Law: yea in some respects as it is no breach of those Laws.
