2. Gospel Precepts are many, if not all, the same with the Moral Law; if Justified then by obedience to them, are we not justified by the works of the Law? You conceive the Justification, Jam. 2. to be by works in a proper sense, and that before God; and Rahabs act was a work of Hospitality, ver. 25. commanded in the Law; and Abraham's work was a sacrificing, or offering a work of the Ceremonial Law, ver. 21.

3. Repentance is obedience to one Gospel Precept, yet Faith and Repentance are distinguished, Mar. 1.15.6, 1. Love, Faith, Hope, are three, 1 Cor. 13.13. 1. Tim. 1.5. 2 Thes. 1.3. faith and Love have different Objects, Col. 1.4. Phil. 5. 1 Thes. 1.•. Therefore not the same; nor one an Essential part of the other.
