1Reader, observe that Scripture phrase used by Mr. Dell, Heb. 9.13, 14. Not to make perfect as appertaining to conscience, is thus interpreted by Exposit•rs, That the Jews could not obtain righteousness, justification or taking away the guilt of sin from their consciences, by any, or all of their Levitical Ceremonies or Sacrifices, but all the spiritual good they enjoyed, was from Christ the true Sacrifice. Now observe, Mr. Dell makes it the reason why the Law of Moses was to be abolished, because it could not make perfect, as pertaining to conscience,2 as he lays it down p. 3. l. 7. Now by this reason the Moral Law should be abolished as well as the Ceremonial; for the Moral Law and our obedience to it, cannot make us perfect as pertaining to Conscience, i. e. cannot justify us in the sight of God, nor wipe off the guilt of sin from off the Conscience; so that it should seem he pleads against the Moral L•w to have it abolished as well as the Ceremonial, so shows himself to be a gross Antinomian, as well as a rigid Anti-Presbyterian.

Now by this reason the Morall Law should bee abolisht as well as the Ceremoniall; for the Morall Law and our obedience to it, cannot make us perfect as pertaining to Conscience, i. e. cannot justifie us in the sight of God, nor wipe off the guilt of sin from off the Conscience; so that it should seem he pleads against the Morall Lw to have it abolisht as well as the Ceremoniall, so shews himself to be a grosse Antinomian, as well as a rigid Anti-Presbyterian.
