A Law, as I said, we read of, and that from Adam to Moses (Rom. 5. 13, 14.) The transgressions also of that Law we read of them, and that particularly, as in Gen. 4. 8. ch. 6. 5. ⟨p. 7⟩ch. 9. 21, 22. ch. 12. 13. ch. 13. 13. ch. 18. 12, 13, 14, 15. ch. 19. 5. (Ezek. 49. 50.) ch. 31. 30. ch. 35. 2. ch. 40. 15. ch. 44. 8, 9, 10. Deut. 8. 19, 28. ch. 12. 2. Psal. 106. 35, 36, 37. and Romans the first and second Chapters.
