The Rest that believers have from the Burden of the Law by coming to Christ, laid out in Ten particulars. 1. They do not stand or fall for life by the Law. 2. The Law-giver is the Redeemer. 3. The least spark of Grace is accepted. 4. Their will shall be accepted as the deed. 5. Obedience is required in a sweet and gentle way. 6. The Grace of God in Christ doth melt the heart. 7. Their sins make them an object of Gods pity. 8. They have Christ to undertake for them as a surety. 9. They are delivered, and yet satisfaction is made to the law. 10. They have assurance that they shall never forfeit the covenant of Grace they are under by Christ.

NOW then, from all these, we shall lay down several propositions, wherein you may see what is the ease and rest that believers have in Christ, in being delivered thus from the law. Take the ease that comes by Christ from hence, in these several particulars, O! thou believer, that art under the load of the law, and come to Christ.
