or the Law of Christ The first of these Lawes was given to Adam in his innocent and sinlesse condition the second was given unto men in their fallen and sinfull condition and the third was given unto men either to bring them out of their sinful condition or being brought out of that estate to guide them on to their eternall happy condition Quest Wherein did the naturall Law or the Law which God gave unto Adam in his innocency consist Answ 1. In that inscription written in his heart whereby doubtlesse he knew how to serve and worship God his Creatour 2 In that vocall prohibition of eating the forbiden fruit Gen. 2.17 Object But how doth it appeare that there was any Law written in the heart of Adam in his innocency A. 1. Because that even the sinfull posterity of Adam who had neither the written Law of Moses nor the Gospell yet had and have this Law written in their hearts their consciences bearing witnesse and their hearts accusing or excusing one another Rem 2.14 15. 2 By the knowledge that he had in the nature of all creatures and therbyto name al creatures according to their natures Gen. 2.20 23. 3 Because that Adam and his children did offer unto the Lord and this must be either from inward dictates and teachings in nature or from vocall commands but we read not of any vocall commands that God gave to Adam thereto Obj. But did God give lawes to none but unto Adam before Moses time Answ Yes unto (a) Gen 6.13 Noah and doubtlesse to many others before the flood and also to (b) Gen 26.5 Abraham and the Patriarcks after the flood till the time of Moses and these lawes are called by the godly and learned Positive Lawes Qu. Was there included in that prohibition to Adam that hee should not eate of the forbidden fruit all the Morall Law or Ten Commandements afterwards given to Moses A. Though the Scripture doth not affirm that neither can it be easily inferred thence nor clearly proved yet it 's probable hee had written in his nature the substance of the Ten Commandements Qu. Why did God give a law or lawes unto men A. To shew his own Soveraignty and his creatures duty Qu. How many parts are there in the Lawes of God A. Three a (c) Ex 20.3 4 5 7 c. mandatory part a (d) Ex 19.5 Eph 6 2 promisary part and a (e) Gen. 2.17 Lev 26.16 17 18. penall part the first shewing the power the second the goodnesse and the third the justice of God Qu. Why did God give the Morall Law or Ten Commandements seeing he had before written the Law in mens hearts A. Though the Law was writter at first in the heart of Adam and though the fallen posterity of Adam had Why the Moral Law was given and still have some reliques of that Law remaining in their hearts yet it was growne so dymme and dark that in a manner it was deleated and blotted out by the sinnes of men insomuch that the Apostle accounted that time between Adam and Moses as a time wherein there was no Law for saith he untill the Law i. e. the Morall Law sin was in the world Rom. 5.13 But more particularly God gave the Morall Law First because of transgressions as the Apostle in answer to such a Question tacitely propounded saith the Law was added because of transgressions untill the seed i. e. Christ should come Gal. 3.19 For the better understanding of this consider 1 That the Law was given to discover sin for (f) Rom 3 20 by the Law is the knowledge of sinne And though (g) Rom 5 13 sin was in the world before the Law yet sin was so vailed and covered that men when they did comit sin they scarce knew that they sin'd We have the Apostle Pauls testimony and experience of this wher he (h) Rom 7 7 saith that he had not knowne sinne but by the Law for I had not known lust saith he except the Law had said thou shalt not cover Nay there would be no sin were it not for a Law for the Law gives if I may so tearme it a being unto sin and therefore is called the (i) 1 Cor 15 5 strength of sinne for if a man should sweare covet or kill and there should be no Law prohibiting the same doubtlesse it would not bee evill for the Law makes it evill So men when they doe commit sinne if they be ignorant of the Law against which they sinned they cannot come to see and know their sinnes therefore the Law is the glasse or discoverer of sin and where there is no Law there is no * i. e. No knowledge of transgression Rom 4.15 transgression Obj. But hath the Law of it selfe power to discover sin A. No not of it selfe without it be applyed by the Spirit for Paul thought himselfe (k) Phil 3.6 blamelesse as concerning the Law before his conversion But when the (l) Rom 7.9 Commandement came in spirit and power then sinne appeared as sin to him Obj. But doth the Morall Law discover unto men all their sinnes A. Yes All the sins committed against that Law but not every sin that a man is guilty of for the sin of unbeleife or not beleiving in Christ which is the sin (m) Joh. 6.29 and 16.9 1 Joh. 3.23 Neither doth the Moral law teach men to deny their owne righteousnesse against the Gospell is discovered by the Gospell and not by the Law Obj. How doth it appeare that the Law doth not discover the sinne of un beleefe or not beleeving in Christ A. Because the Law doth not command faith in Christ as hee is Mediatour neither can any man possibly preach Christ out of the Morall Law therefore it is impossible that unbeleife against him should be known or apprehended by that Law 2 The Law as it doth discover sin so also it doth aggravate sinne or make sin as the Apostle (n) Rom 7.13 saith exceeding sinfull The Law does awaken and revive and unkennell sins and make them take hold upon a mans soule As the Prophet David (o) Ps 40.12 said mine iniquities have taken hold upon mee so that I am not able to looke up Or as the Apostle (p) Ro 7.8 9 said without the Law sin was dead but when the Commandement id est the Law came sinne revived and I dyed that is his sinnes did appeare so hainous grievous and terrible to him that they were ready to make him dispaire also the same Apostle (q) Rom 5.20 elsewhere saith That the Law entered that the offence might abound 3 The Law does restraine sinne and that was a maine end wherefore it was given which is the meaning of the Apostle in the third of the Galathians 19 ver Gal. 3.19 The Law was added because of transgression Men were growne to a mighty height of transgression and wickednesse till God gave the Law
Covenant made with him they say we are predestinated and ordained to (m) Act. 13.39 2 Thes 2.13 beleeve and to (n) Eph. 2.10 Rom. 8.29 doe good works and not for beleeving and doing good workes Q If God covenanted with Christ to give salvation to some and not to all did he not then leave the rest in a state of impossibility to be saved and in a state of certainty to be damned A. I. God is not accountable to man for his actions and this is sufficient that the will of God is the (o) Rom. 9.15 18.22 supream reason of all his actions and it should satisfie us that God doth what he will and wills himselfe and his owne glory chiefly so that if mans misery tends to Gods glory it is mans duty to be silent and subject thereunto 2. Though God by this Covenant doth entaile and assure salvation upon and unto the seed of Christ yet it doth not necessarily follow that the rest are left unavoidably in a state of damnation It is true that Gods preordination presignation and promise before time declared Gods speciall favour to such as he chose and his preterition and passing by the rest shewed a lesse regard of them and dis-ingagement of God to them Obj. But the absolute electing of some doth argue the absolute reprobating of others A. God in the act of election In no moment of nature did the purpose of condemnation goe before the foresight of sin saith Dr. Twisse in the act of preterition looked upon men as fallen and not as innocent and unfallen and thereby his grace doth more eminently appear in the one and his justice is more apparently justifiable as toward men in the other Obj. But is not election the cause of salvation and reprobation the cause of damnation A. Election and Reprobation are not in any sense the causes of salvation and damnation but Christ is the proper and meritorious cause of salvation and sin the proper and meritorious cause of damnation Election and reprobation they are but precedent and precurrent acts or decrees and the causes of salvation and Damnation they come in between the decrees and the execution thereof Obj. But the Decree of reprobation puts a necessity upon men to sinne for if God hath decreed the punishment he hath decreed the cause also A. The decree puts no more necessity upon men to sinne then the secret intent and purpose of a King to put his just Law in execution makes a malefactor guilty and to suffer according to that law further who dares reply against God if he would have it so Ro. 9.20 Obj. But if a King makes a law so strict that his Subjects cannot keepe it and then punishes his Subjects for breaking it is not that King more guilty then his Subject A. But the case is not so for God when he gave the Law at first to man viz Adam he did not give him such a Law that he could not keep Q. How doth it appeare that Adam could have observed and kept that Law which God gave him in his innocent state A. I. Because the Scripture testifies of him that he was made (a) Ecl. 7.29 upright and in (b) Gen. 5 1 Gods owne likenesse viz. in knowledge holinesse and power and therefore sure he was fit and able to keep it 2. The commandement that God gave Adam to obey it was no hard commandement to be observed by such a spirituall man Ob. But Adam was no other then a meer earthly and naturall man 1 Cor. 15.47 for had he been spirituall he could not have fallen from that state A. It is true that Adams body was of the earth yet Adams soule was immediately from heaven and therefore spirituall And why might not Adam though spirituall as well as the Angels seeing they were alike without promise of upholding them and no union of spirit between them and God or Christ and but mutually good fall from that state Q. What death did Adams transgression and disobedience deserve and bring upon himselfe and his posterity A. All that the Scripture cals (a) Ro. 5.14 1 Cor. 15.21 death which is either naturall (b) Lu. 1.79 spirituall or (c) Rom. 5.2 Eph. 2.1 Iam. 1.15 Ro. 5.15.18 eternall Q. How doth it appeare that Adams sin brought eternall death A. 1. From the words of the Apostle Rom. 5.16.18 Judgement was by one to condemnation and judgement came upon all men to condemnation Now condemnation must bee understood here as in other places of Scripture for (d) Ioh. 5.24 Rom. 8.1 eternall condemnation also the Greek word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 used in those (e) Ro. 5.16.18 two texts is alwayes in Scripture for eternall condemnation and differs from the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 judgement lastly here is judgement and condemnation together which imports both a temporall and eternall judgement 2. That condemnation which is put in opposition to eternall life must needs be eternall condemnation but this condemnation is such Rom. 5.21 Rom. 5.21 for the Apostle saith That as sinne hath reigned unto death even so might grace reigne through righteousnesse unto eternall life 3. It must be eternall death else how and when came mankinde to be guilty of eternall death do the weake and wicked posterity of Adam by sinning now when by reason of their corrupt natures they hardly can doe otherwise deserve and come under eternall death and should Adams sinne which was against knowledge and a cleare Law have no other punishment but a naturall and temporall death Further how can death viz. eternall death Rom. 6.23 be the wages of one sinne and not of another Rom. 6.23 Ob. If Adam had not sinned hee was to enjoy but outward and temporall mercies therefore having sinned his sin could bring him under no other but temporall and outward judgements A. Adam being the (f) Lu 3.38 Son of God and after his owne likenesse doubtlesse did enjoy and was to enjoy had he not sinned the savour and love of God and communion with him which were more then meere temporall and outward mercies On the contrary the losse of these which are (g) Eph. 5.6 Mat. 25.41 two of the greatest and soarest judgements that the damned suffer for ever must needs be more then temporall and outward judgements Q Did Adam by his sinne and disobedience breake the Covenant that was made with Christ before A. No for that Covenant was not given unto Adam before his fall therefore he could not breake that which was not given him to observe Q. Was that Covenant which was made with Jesus Christ before time afterwards made with men A. Yes see Esa 55.3 Jer. 31.31 and 33.20 Eze. 16.8 20.37 Heb. 8.10 Q. Who made that Covenant with men A. God the (h) Hos 2.18 Father (i) Eze. 16.8 Jesus Christ and the (k) Heb. 10.15 16. Spirit Q. When and with whom was that Covenant before made with
the Gospell is the chiefest part of Christ's will and the best Testament because it is stablished upon [r] Heb. 8.6 better promises as afterwards I shali shew Quest Is the Law or ten Commandements morall and doth it remaine in force now in the dayes of the new Testament and since Christ as well as before Answ Yes doubtlesse Answ the Law is morall and doth continue in force as well since Christ as before but yet there is some difference in the administration of it since Christs comming and the administration of it before his comming Quest How is it proved that the Law remaines in force since Christs time Reas 1. To prove the continuance of the Law now in the dayes of the Gospell Reas 1. Because Christ hath not taken it away for he saith [r] Mat. 5.17 He came not to destroy the Law but to fulfill it and these words Christ speakes to the Iewes who had a prejudice against him as thinking he did intend to destroy the Law But Christ bids them that they should not thinke that he came to destroy it But rather as in another place he exhorts them to [Å¿] Mal. 4.4 to remember the Law of Moses the servant of the Lord. Object Object But then Christ had not fulfilled the Law which since he hath done and therefore is called the end of the Law Rom. 10.4 Answ Doubtlesse Christs fulfilling the Law Answ did not tend to the utter and perfect destroying of the Law Note that Christ is not called absolutely the end of the Law but the end of Law for righteousnesse and that not to all but to those that doe believe Rom. 10.4 Reas 2. and to the taking of it away that it should continue no longer but his fulfilling the Law was to satisfie the Law for the sinnes of those that did and should believe And Christ was the end of the Law for righteousnesse or as it was a Covenant of works and that not to all but to every one that believeth as the Apostle saith in that place Reas 2. Another Reason to prove the continuance or morality of the Law is that the [*] See 1 Joh. 2.4 Apostles did approve of and establish the Law As for example saith Paul The Law is [t] Rom. 7.12.14 holy just good and spirituall if it be [u] 1 Tim. 1.8 lawfully used And in another place he take away that suspicion that some had of him or an objection that they might make against him that he did overthrow the Law totally [u] Rom. 3.31 Doe we then saith he make voyd the law through faith God forbid yea we establish the law It is as if he had said you Romans doe not mistake and misjudge me about the Law neither thinke you that by my preaching and tendring the Covenant of grace unto sinners so freely or my care in bringing believers from under the Law and the Menaces threatnings and curses thereof I doe intend to destroy and nullifie the Law oh noe I am so farre from destroying the Law hereby that I doe rather confirme it according to the intent and purpose of God in giving and instituting it Reas 3. Reas 3. Because the Apostles did cite and urge the Law both for the doing of good and against the committing of evill When the Apostle Paul teaches the Church of Corinth how she was bound to maintaine her Ministers he urges the Law for it [w] 1 Cor. 9.9 Say I these things as a man or saith not the Law the same also See Eph. 6.1 1 Cor. 14.21 for it is written in the Law of Moses thou shalt not muzzle the Oxe that treadeth out the corn So Iames saith [x] Jam. 2.8 If ye fulfill the royall Law ye doe well Againe [y] Jam. 2.9.11 Iames and [z] 1 Joh. 3.4 Iohn agree in this that whoever commits sinne kills or the like transgresseth and breaketh the Law Reas 4. Reas 4. Because men are blamed and condemned for breaking and transgressing the Law Thou that makest thy boast of the Law through breaking the Law dishonourest thou God Rom. 2.23 and that by Law here is meant the morall Law appeares evidently in ver 21.22 See also Rom. 12.19 Many more Reasons I might alleadge for to prove the morality and continuance of the morall-law in the dayes of the Gospell but these are sufficient Object Object Though the MORALL LAW doth continue in the dayes of the Gospell yet it concernes not believers neither doth it belong unto them for they are free from it and dead to it under it as the Scripture frequently speakes Answ Though it be a blessed truth and worth our understanding and knowlege that believers are free from the Law Answ dead to the Law and not under the Law yet in receiving this truth we must have a care that we doe not entertaine an errour with it Therefore I will discover according to the Light I have in what sence this is true and in what sence it is not and how the morall-law doth concerne beleevers and how it doth not and that I may make it the plainer appeare I will state it in these three Questions Quest 1. Of what uses and concernment is the morall-law unto believers Quest 2. How and in what sences are believers free from the law dead to the law and delivered from the Law To answer the first Question Quest Of what uses and concernment is the morall unto believers Ans 1. Answ It doth discover unto them what manner of God their God is for as his Law is that comes from him such he himselfe is His Law as you heard before is holy and just and good so is God himselfe [a] Joh. 24.19 1 Sam. 6.20 a holy God whose nature is [b] Heb. 1.9 Hab. 1.13 utterly against sinne and whose eyes cannot behold iniquity a just [c] Esa 45.24 God who will not justifie nor acquit the [d] Exod. 24.7 guilty without satisfaction for sinne and yet a good God [e] Luk. 18.19 who hath made his son [f] 2 Cor. 5.21 to be sinne for sinners and a [g] Gal. 3.13 curse for those that were under the curses of the Law Oh! let believers looke upon the Law of God that they may consider what manner of God their God is Object Object It is not a legall knowledge of God or a knowledge of him by the law that is enough for believers to have but they must know him a reconoiled God to them and as a Father and this knowledge the Gospell onely teacheth Answ It s very true that a legall knowledge of God is not enough to save men Answ and that it is the Gospell that doth discover God as a reconciled God and Father Yet doubtlesse believers when they have a Gospell-knowledge of God are not excluded nor prohibited from a legali knowledge of him As the children of a King or Emperour know their
