By the Law is meant that same perfect rule of obedience which God hath prescribed man, by the works thereof to attain life everlasting. This Law is that of which Moses was the Mediator, when it was delivered to man after his fall, therefore it is called the Law of Moses. This Law is that which is called the old Covenant, because it was made with us, before the fall with Adam in Paradise. This Law is that which is called the Covenant of works, because it promiseth salvation only on the condition of works. This is meant by the Law.
