2. Look to all the places of Scripture, as well as some only. That 1is a perpetual fault among the Antinomians: they only pitch upon those places; where Christ and his grace is spoken of; but not of those Texts, where duties are commanded, especially those places of Scripture, where the Law of God is wonderfully commended, for the many real benefits that come by it; where likewise the perpetuity and eternity of it is much celebrated. Lex Dei in aeternum manet; vel implenda in damnatis, vel impleta in beatis, The Law of God abideth always, either to be fulfilled in the damned, or already fulfilled in those that are made happy, said Luther. What a curb would it be unto this error, if they would consider, with what an holy passion & zeal the Apostle doth deny, that he destroyeth the Law, making this very objection to himself, Do we then make void the Law? God forbid. Now can we thing that the Apostle, who in the third chapter to the Romans, doth so vehemently deny, that he destroyeth the Law, should so much forget himself, as in the fourth chapter to abolish it? No ordinary man would fall into such a contradiction.
