2. In reference to the Moral Law! the first thing we have liberty from, is its rigour, and terror in commanding, Heb. 12 §. 15 18, 19, 20, 21, 22. We are not come to the Mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, to the whirl-wind, darkness, and tempest, to the sound of the trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard besought that they might hear it no more; But we are come to mount Zion &c.
