Planelogia, a succinct and seasonable discourse of the occasions, causes, nature, rise, growth, and remedies of mental errors written some months since, and now made public, both for the healing and prevention of the sins and calamities which have broken in this way upon the churches of Christ, to the great scandal of religion, hardening of the wicked, and obstruction of Reformation : whereunto are subjoined by way of appendix : I.

If you can make no stronger opposition to my Arguments, than such as you have here made, your Cause is lost; though your confidence and obstinacy remain. It were easy for me to fill more Paper than I have written on this Subject, with Names of principal note in the Church of God, who with one voice decry your groundless Position, and constantly affirm, that the Law in the complex sense you take it, as it comprehends the Ceremonial Rites and Ordinances whereunto Circumcision pertains, is, and can be no other than the Covenant of Grace, though more obscurely administered. But because Latin Authors are of little use to you, and among English ones, the Judgment of Dr.1 Crisp, I suppose, will be instar omnium with you: I will recite it faithfully out of his Sermon upon the two Covenants, where he makes the Old and New Covenants to be indeed two distinct Covenants of Grace, (for which I see no reason at all) but proves the former to be so in these words.
