The Doctrine of Justification by Faith

5. These being the Parts of the Law given unto the Church in Sinai, the the whole of it is constantly called [Greek or Hebrew] the Law, that is, the Instruction (as the Word signifies) that God gave unto the Church, in the Rule of Obedience which he prescribed unto it. This is the Constant signification of that Word in Scripture, where it is taken absolutely; and thereon doth not signify precisely the Law as given at Horeb, but ⟨p. 413⟩comprehends with it all the Revelations that God made under the Old Testament, in the Explanation and Confirmation of that Law, in Rules, Motives, Directions and Enforcements of Obedience.

5. These being the Parts of the Law given unto the Church in Sinai, the the whole of it is constantly called 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 the Law, that is, the Instruction (as the Word signifies) that God gave unto the Church, in the Rule of Obedience which he prescribed unto it. This is the Constant signification of that Word in Scripture, where it is taken absolutely; and thereon doth not signifie precisely the Law as given at Horeb, but ⟨p. 413⟩comprehends with it all the Revelations that God made under the Old Testament, in the Explanation and Confirmation of that Law, in Rules, Motives, Directions and Enforcements of Obedience.

6. Wherefore [Greek or Hebrew] the Law is the whole Rule of Obedience which God gave to the Church under the Old Testament, with all the Efficacy wherewith it was accompanied by the Ordinances of God, including in it all the Promises and Threatenings, that might be Motives unto the Obedience that God did require. This is that which God and the Church called the Law under the Old Testament, and which the Jews so called with whom our Apostle had to do. That which we call the Moral Law was the Foundation of the whole; and those Parts of it which we call the Judicial and Ceremonial Law, were peculiar Instances of the Obedience which the Church under the Old Testament was obliged unto, in the especial Polity and divine Worship, which at that season were necessary unto it. And two things doth the Scripture testify unto concerning this Law.
