As in Rom. 13. 7, 8, 9, 10.
As in 1 Tim. 1. 8, 9, 10, 11.
He that loveth another, saith he, ⟨p. 20⟩hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet: and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended under this saying, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour, therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.
I make not an Argument of this, but take an occasion to mention it as I go: But certainly, had the Seventh-day-Sabbath been moral, or of the Law of Nature, (as some would fain persuade themselves) it would not so slenderly have been passed over in all these repetitions of this Law, but would by Christ or his Apostles have been pressed upon the people, when so fair an opportunity as at these times offered it self unto them. But they knew what they did, and wherefore they were so silent as to the mention of a Seventh-day-sabbath when they so well talked of the Law as moral.
