Our purpose is not to aim at any great accuracy, nor to multiply questions and digressions, nor to insist in application and use, but plainly and shortly (as we are able) to give you the m •aning of the Law of God: 1. By holding forth the N •tive Duties required in every Commandment. 2. The sins which properly oppose and contradict each Commandment, that by these we may have some direction and help in duty, and some spur to repentance, at least a furtherance in the work of Conviction, that so by it we may be led to Christ Jesus, who is the end of the Law for righteousness to every one that believes, Rom. 10.4. which is the principal intent of this Law, as it was given to Israel.

To make way for the Exposition, we shall 1. Lay down some Conclusions which arise from the Preface. 2. Give you some ordinary distinctions. 3. Clear and confirm some Rules or Observations useful for understanding of the whole Law.
