2. Prop. This most perfect Law was given by God for two great Ends, sc. 1. To be a rule, and pattern of Eternal Life, and happiness. 2. To be a condition of Eternal Life, and happiness. Do this, and Live; It was not only a Command, but a Covenant, with a promise of Eternal happiness, upon perfect and perpetual obedience.
3. Prop. These two ends being of perpetual necessity, the Law it self must needs be so too, such an excellent piece of beauty and perfection God never made for an Almanac, to continue but for a year, yea, a day rather, or moment of mans Integrity. It is hard to conceive that God should intend to null this Law; (this had been for God to have let go his hold of man) and to set up another in the room of it, considering the end he aimed at; as soon as he had made it A Law of an higher perfection, 1God could not make, and A Law of an inferior perfection would not serve the turn, either Gods's or man's.
