If you mean Objective Grace, it prescribeth, directeth: If Subjective Grace, it persuadeth and exciteth what to do: To live Soberly, Righteously, Godly in the present World, Tit. 2.12. There are all the branches of Man's Duty enumerated: Sobriety relateth to self-government; Righteously to our carriage towards our Neighbour; Godly to our Commerce and Communion with God. What is there wanting, that belongeth either to Worship, or Justice, or Personal Holiness? Therefore certainly we need no other Rule; ⟨p. 333⟩for it layeth down whatsoever Men are bound to do in all Ages and places of the World, and in whatsoever Circumstances God shall put them: And so it is fit to be the Law of the Universal King, and Law-giver; yea, it is so perfect, that whatever other Way is set up, it presently dasheth against those Notions that we have, or should have of God, his Service, and Worship; or it i••••ngeth, or perverteth the Liberty and Nature of Man. 3.

And that from a Child thou hast known the hol• Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto Salvation, through the Faith which is in Christ Jesus. Nay, afterwards, Ver. 17. The Man of God is by them made perfect, and throughly furnished to every good Work.
