3. None of us, whom Saltmarsh would, if he could, confute, do teach, That we are to obey, and do Gods Commandments, according to the Gospel-grace and strength from Christ, to the end, that God may be our God, else if we fail he is not our God. Now this Gospel-service he must say, we teach, if he refute us.

Diff. 2. The Law (saith Saltmarsh) commands us in the power of God, as a Law-giver, and tutor, or Minister: the Gospel in the power of a Father.
Answ. When Saltmarsh shall make these two contrary, to command as a Law-giver and as a Father, 1as wrath and love, we shall say Amen to this difference. But Antinomians think to command as a Law-giver cannot be, except God command under the pain of an eternal curse, for (say 2they) The Law not condemning, is not Law. So the Law-giver not cursing and condemning, must be no Law-giver; But this is a false principle. God commandeth as a Law-giver in the Gospel, all that eternal righteousness which he commandeth in the Law; for neither the Gospel, nor Christ dissolveth one tittle or jot of the eternal Moral Law of God, but he commandeth, not as a condemning Judge, the curse is removed from the Law, Gal. 3.10
