"And let Antinomians say, We are freed from the Law, as a Rule of holy walking, sure the Gospel and the Apostles command the very same duties in the Letter of the Gospel, that Moses commanded in the Letter of the Law; as, that children obey their parents, servants their masters; that we abstain from murder, hatred of our brother, stealing, defrauding, lying, etc. that we keep ourselves from idols, swearing, strange gods. I do not say, that these duties are commanded in the same way, in the Gospel, as in the Law: for, sure we are, out of a principle of evangelic love, to render obedience; and our obedience now is not legal, as commanded by Moses, in strict terms of Law, but as perfumed, oiled, honeyed, with the gospel-sense of remission of sins, the tender Love of God in Christ. So that we justly challenge two extreme ways, both blasphemous, as we conceive."
