Of the Law.

:52p. 16¶17

XVII. WE believe God requires Obedience of Man, and that the Rule of that Obedience is the moral Law as it is in the Hands of Christ; which ¹teacheth all Persons their Duty to God, and to Man; the Sum of all being this, to love the Lord our God with all our Hearts, with all our Souls, and with all our Strength, and our Neighbours as our selves. And that tho the Law is abolished as a Covenant of Works, and as so considered, we are dead to it, and that dead to us; ²yet it remains as a Rule of Life and Righteousness for ever.
