Conclusion.

1. From the premises it followes, that one and the same word Law, in one and the same Text, (many of which I have cited before at N^• 7.) cannot by the rules of a sound exposition comprehend Mr. Norton•• said threefold conside∣ration in it.

Or thus:

One and the same word Law (as given at mount Sinai) cannot comprehend in it his said three differing sorts of Laws.

2. Neither can the word Covenant at mount Sinai comprehend two distinct and opposite sorts of Covenants, as the Covenant of nature and the Covenant of grace are. 3. Therefore seeing Mr. Nor••on hath so grosly transgressed this rule of a sound exposition in his several answers to my Dialogue, he hath most miserably confounded the true sence of the word Law, and the true sence of the word Covenant at mount Sinai: and 4. By that means he hath most miserably confounded the right understanding, 1. Of the great point of Christs satisfa∣ction, and 2. Of the great point of a sinners justification.
