1. He takes it for granted, that the precise Seventh-day Sabbath is one part of the Moral Law; and so his design is (as I conceive) to show that such as violate this Sabbath, and teach men so to do, have no part in Heaven.

2. He says, The doing of these is the way to Eternal Life, mistaking the purport of our Saviour's words to the young Man, who spake to him as one under the Covenant of Works, to discover his Ignorance of the way to Heaven, which is by Christ alone, not by doing those Commands as written and read in the Law; 'tis not do, but believe, &c.
Is not this Man ignorant of the way to Eternal Life; did our Lord come to ratify the ⟨p. 167⟩Decalogue for us, to keep and fulfil in our own Persons, thereby to be justified and saved? Here is not one word of the Righteousness of Christ. No, no, but that Righteousness that must exceed the Righteousness of the Scribes, is our own inherent Righteousness only. True, we say a sincere inherent Righteousness we must have for a meetness for Eternal Life; but that is not our title to it, or the way to it, but the Righteousness and Merits of Christ alone.
