Part 1 › Chapter 30: Familists will have all externals indifferent.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Nor can Familists say in externals in the first table we are to do, or not do, as the Law of love, in pleasing one another, shall permit, but in matters of the second Table before men, we are not to murder, or not murder, whore or not whore, because the Law of love cannot stand with murdering, whoring, stealing.

Ans. I see not but the indifferency upon the Familists ground is the same as touching both Tables of the Law.
1. Because if Christ free us from the Law as a rule of life, he freeth us from the Commandments of the second Table, as a rule of life, as from these of the first Table, because the Gospel-liberty is alike from all and every part of the Law, except we say Christ leaves us under condemnation as touching sins against the second Table, but freeth us from condemnation as touching Idolatry, perjury, blasphemy, Atheism, unbelief, which is absurd.
