2. When men hold such principles, that will necessarily by way of 1consequence enforce the abrogation of the Law. And thus, though some Antinomians do expressly and boldly assert the abolishing of it, at least to believers; yet those that have more learning and wariness, do disclaim it, and account it a calumny: but even at the same time, while they do disclaim it (as it is to be showed presently) they hold such assertions, as do necessarily infer the abrogation of it.

Thus when the Pharisees taught, that whatsoever vow was made concerning any gift, they were bound to do it, though thereby they were disabled to honour their parents. And this is most remarkably seen in the Church of Rome, who, by the multitude and necessity of observation of their Church precepts and constitutions, make men to break the plain commandments of God. Now I shall briefly instance generally about those errors that dissolve Gods Law, and then more particularly about the Antinomian doctrine.
