Thesis 90.
It's as weak an argument to imagine, That wee are not [ 90] to be led and guided by any outward commands, in our obedience unto God (because God is to worke all our workes for us, and because we are not to live, but Christ is to live in us) as to thinke that we are not to look to any promises with∣out us to direct and support our faith, because Christ is also to fulfill and accomplish all the promises for us: For if the question be, by what are we to live? The Apostles answer is full, Gal. 2.19, 20. that as hee did not live but by the faith of the Son of God, so are we: But if the question be, According to what rule are we to live, and wherein are wee to live? The answer is given by David Psalme 119.4, 5. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts dili∣gently, Oh that my heart were directed to keep thy Statutes.
descriptionPage 76
Deal bountifully with thy servant that I may live and keep thy word, ver. 17. Let thy mercy come to me that I may live, for thy law is my delight, vers. 27. So that if the question be, What is the rule of faith by which we live? The answer is, the Gospel, Phil. 3.16. But if the question be, What is the rule of life it self? The answer is, the morall law; and of this later is the controversie.
