9. By command of God. This is the will of God, your sanctification: 1So that you may prove what is that good and acceptable will of God. And thus the Law of God still remaineth as a rule and directory: And thus Paul professed he delighted in the Law of God in his inward man; and that place, Rom. 12. presseth our renovation, comparing us to a sacrifice, implying we are consecrated, ⟨p. 45⟩and set apart to him (a dog or a swine might not be offered to God:) And the word [Offer] doth imply our readiness and alacrity. He also addeth many epithets to the will of God, that so we may be moved to rejoice in it. There is therefore no disputing or arguing against the will of God. If our Saviour, Matth. 5. saith, He shall be least in the Kingdom of heaven, that breaketh the least commandment; how much more inexcusable is the Antinomian, who teacheth the abolition of all of them?
