Thus you see how directly these oppose the Law, and therefore come under our Saviours condemnation in the Text: yet at other times, the proper state of the Question between the Orthodox & Antinomists, seemeth to be, not, Whether a godly man do not delight in the Law, and do the works of the Law; but, Whether he doth it, Lege docent, urgent, & mandante, the Law ⟨p. 278⟩teaching, urging, and commanding: As for the latter Antinomians, Doctor Taylor, and Mr. Burton, who preached, and wrote against them, do record the same opinions of them. Doctor Taylor in his Preface to his Book against them, saith, One preached, that the whole Law, since Christs death, is wholly abrogated and abolished. Another, that to teach obedience to the Law, is Popery. Another, That to do any thing, because God commands us; or to forbear any sin, because God forbids us, is a sign of a moral man, and of a dead and unsound Christian. Others deliver, That the Law is not to be preached, and they that do so, are Legal Preachers.
