And therefore he is called the Law-giver, Jam. 4. 12. and all judgment is committed to his hand, Joh. 5. 22, 27. to this end you have the rod of his Sceptre his holy and righteous Laws, and ⟨p. 28⟩his mighty and blessed Spirit, to give force unto them, even into our hearts, and there to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
