for One Sin but the Gospel threatens Death not for Every Sin Def of Gospel-Truth p. 30 Well then seeing the Gospel-Law doth not threaten Death against Every Sin and the threatning of Adam's Law is v●cated or at least Dispensed with Every Sin deserves not Death For though the Des●●t of and Obligation to Punishment are Distinct and the Obligation may be 〈◊〉 there is no Desert yet wherever the D●sert is there th● Punishment is due and the Pe●son obliged to undergo it till by an Ap●lication of Christ's Blood that Obligation be D●ss●lv'd ●he Sins which are Committed and Deserve Punishment if they Oblige not thereunto there is no need if t●ere is no R●●m for Pardon which lyeth in a Dissolving the Obligation For where there is no Obligation there can be no Dissolving it and where no ●hreatning there no Obligation for an Obligation to Punishment is by Vertue of the Threatning of the Law Thus he must hold That no Sins but Final Vnb●lief and Impenitence falling under the Threatnings of the Gospel-Law can need a Pardon and these he allows shall never be Pardoned or at least those Sins which are consistent with Sincerity or the Imperfections of our Faith Repentance and Obedience need not a Pardon because they fall under no Law Threatning against which Notion I may Justly set down what hath been Asserted by Father Alsop God is by Nature a Holy God as he is Governour of the World he is a Righteous Judge Sin is both contrary to his Holy Nature and his Holy Law And therefore as a Holy God he cannot but hate Sin as a Righteous Judge he cannot but Punish Sin And because this Sin is Inherent in and Committed by Man God hates the Sinner upon the account of his Sin his Person and his Best Services are an Abomination to the Lord. From Hence it follows That Sin being a Transgression of the Law in its Preceptive Part renders the Sinner Guilty that is Obnoxious and Liable to the Law in its Sanction to the Punishment Now this Righteous Judge will certainly Charge the Guilty Sinner with the Penalty due to his Sin But there is a way found out That he may not Impute to Sinners their Traspasses which is by Christ and as he adds by his being made Sin for us Anti-Sozzo p. 631. Mr. Williams That Legal Preaching which is a Crime is to Preach the Law as a Covenant of Innocency or Works Every Threatning used by God to Conversion is a Gospel Threatning Gospel Truth stated p. 222 and 133 134. So that it 's sinful to endeavour to Convince Men of their Sin and Misery by Preaching to them the Law of Works that is to say Adam's Law but we must confine our selves wholly unto the Gospel Law the very Error held by Agricola Islebius the Antinomian and Confuted by Luther Father Alsop The Law is God's Law and when it witnesses to a sinner it witnesses home convinces him of the Perfect Holiness of that God who gave the Law of the Peremptoriness of God in not Abating One Jot or Tittle of the Law of the sinners utter Inability to come up to the Demands of the Law and therefore the utter Impossibility of being Justified by the Law of the Severity of God's Justice in Punishing the Violaters of his Law and therefore unless he can find another Righteousness he must utterly perish 'T is true the Law speaks its Old Language still Do this aud live but then it speaks it only to those who are upon the Bottom of Innocency for to a Transgresser its Language is Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things Anti-Sozzo p. 544 In Rom. 7. 13. it 's said I had not known sin exc●pt the Law had said thou shalt not covet From whence I Argue By that Law which says Thou shalt not covet comes the Knowledge of sin Therefore by the Moral Law comes the Knowledge of sin The Major is the Apostle's own in the place last Quoted The Minor needs no Proof but that a Man be able to Read the Ten Commandments which is the Summ of the Moral Law the Tenth whereof is Thou shalt not covet Anti-Sozzo p. 538. The Knowledge of Sin being by the Law which saith Thou shalt not covet and which saith The Man that continueth not in all things is Accursed That we may Convince Men of their Sin and Misery and of the Necessity of Believing in the Lord Jesus that they may by his Righteousness Receiv'd by Faith be Justify'd We must Preach to them this Law and Denounce the Threatned Curse thereof This is the Doctrine of Protestants this the Doctrine Taught us by the Holy Apostles On the other hand if with Mr. Williams we must confine our selves in our Attempts to convince sinners unto the Gospel Law how can we charge them with the Guilt of Original Sin or Threaten Death against them for any other sins than their Unbelief and Impenitence An Error so Gross so Absurd and Pernicious to the Souls of Men that it becomes Every Good Man to Express his Abhorrence of it But as if the Design was That Men of our Way may Deservedly fail under the Reproach and Scandal of Sheltering supporting Aiding and Abetting a Real Antinomian who that he may cover his mischievous Purposes makes a frightful Out-cry against Antinomianism not a Man of our Number but your self that I know Opposes them so far as to lie under the Rage of these snarling Scriblers Sect. III. Of Procuring and Purchasing the Covenant of Grace One Great Point in Controversie between the Reformed Churches and the Remonstrants was Whether Christ by his Death did Procure Purchase and Merit a New Covenant of Grace The Remonstrants Positively Affirm'd That Christ did by the Merit of his Death and Satisfaction Procure and Enact a Covenant of Grace with sinners The Reformed Churches in Opposition unto them were as Express That Christ did not Merit the New Covenant of Grace but that he was the chief Blessing of this Covenant Promised in Gen. 3. 15. from whom all other Covenant Blessings such as Reconciliation with God Remission of Sins and Eternal Life did as from their Fountain flow That God in Renewing this Covenant with Abraham Isaac Jacob David and the other Patriarchs and Prophets in the Old Testament did first make mention of Christ as the Seed in whom their Posterity together with all Nations are Blessed That in regard hereunto it is that Christ is called a Mediator of the New Covenant Heb. 8. 6. ch 9. 15. ch 12. 24. For the Mediator of the New Testament and the Promise of this Mediator must belong to the New Covenant of Grace Judic Theol. Exteror de quinque Artic. Synod Dordrech Exhib an 1619. pag. 117 118. Now it must be yeilded That a Great Deal turns on this Point for from this Notion of the Remonstrants it doth saith the Learned Voetius Select Disp. Theol. Par. 2. not pag. 133. as Mr. Lobb in his Defence p. 23. cites it but pag.
