I  flatter  rnyfelf,  that  if  Zelotes  and  Honeihis  can
didly  weigh  the  preceding  arguments  and  fcriptures,
they  will  reap  from  thence  a  double  advantage  :  (i)
They  will  no  more  tread  the  honour  of  Chrift's  moral
law  in  the  duft — no  more  rob  it  of  its  chief  glory,  that

T'he  zocirine  of  the  preceding  Seflion  is  .weighed  in  thi
Scripture-fcales.  According  to  ChriJFs  gofpel,  keeping
the  moral  law  in  faith  is  a  SUBORDINATE  way  to
eternal  life t  and  fome  proteft ants  are  grofsly  miftaken,
when  they  make  believers  afraid  fencer ely  to  obfer<ve
the  commandments,  in  order  to  obtain  thro*  Chrift  a.
more  abundant  life  of  grace  here,  and  an  eternal  life
cf  glory  hereafter.
