Before I handle the other places of Scripture that are brought by the Antinomians against the Law, it is my intent, for better methods sake, and your more sound instruction, to handle the whole theology of the Law of God in the several distributions of it, and that positively, controversally, and practically; and I shall begin first with the law of Nature, that God hath imprinted in us, and consider of this two ways: 1. As it is a mere law; and secondly, As it was a covenant of works made with Adam: And then in time I shall speak of the Moral Law given by Moses, which is the proper subject of these controversies.
