The seventh Principle.
7. 1What ever was either rule or privilege under the Law, is still so under the Gospel, unless we can show its abrogation. What was once discovered to be the will of God, continues to be so till he himself do disannul it. We see indeed that many things are revoked, and though they were once his will, are his will no longer: for God doth not speak the word because the word is right, but the word is right because God speaks it.

Let us not therefore think that the Old Testament's authority is not proof sufficient; surely as far as I understand, his will there, is not abrogated in the New Testament, abides still in its full force.
