or the doctrine of Grace that is the Gospel 2. What is this Grace this Doctrine of Grace of Gospel said to do And that the express words of the 12 verse tell us plainly to be this that it teacheth us That d●nying ungodliness and worldly lucts we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present World Now if the Gospel teach us that we should live soberly righteously and godly then it hath some Precept which makes it our Duty so to live For to teach us that we should live soberly righteously and godly is plainly to lay an obligation on our Conscience and to make it our Duty so to live especially considering that this Gospel is the Gospel of God and it is God who is infinitely superiour to us and hath a soveraign authority over us who by the Gospel teacheth us that we should live soberly righteously and godly Gods teaching us that we should do a thing certainly obliges to do it and therefore Gods teaching us by the Gospel that we should live soberly righteously and godly obliges us by the Gospel so to live and consequently the Gospel hath some Precept whereby God obligeth us to live soberly righteously and godly in this present World Thus the Learned Divines who were Authorized by their Superiours in Holland to write the Dutch Annotations on the Bible understood this Scripture as appears from their Annotation on Tit. 1.1 The truth which is according to godliness That is which is such that it must not only be known but also by exercising of true Godliness be put in practice and which prescribes and requires true Godliness and stirs up and brings men thereunto 1 Tim 6 3. compared with Annotation on Tit. 2.11 The grace of God which bringeth salvation that is say they The Doctrine of the Grace of god shewn us by Christ and contained in the Gospel And then in their Annotation on the 12th Verse they tell us That the said Doctrine of Grace instructeth us that we should live soberly in respect of our selves and justly in respect of our Neighbour and godly in respect of God And if any yet doubt whether those Learned Annotators held that the Gospel hath Precepts obliging us to Duty let such read their Annotation on Rom. 10.6 where they expresly mention the Command of Faith as a Command of the Gospel contradistinguished from the Commands of the Law And again a little after they say If Moses said this of the Commandments of the Law much more may the same be said of the Promises and Commands of the Gospel which are not only easie to be understood as the Law is but also are easie to observe by the power of Gods Spirit c. See also the last called Pools Annotations on Tit. 2.11 12. where they tell us That by the Grace of God which brings Salvation is meant the Gospel of our Lord Jesus and that where it cometh it directs all Men their Duties in their several stations and teaches us that we should live with respect to our selves in a just government of our Affections and Passions and with respect to others giving to every one their due and with respect to God piously discharging the Duties and paying the homage we owe unto him so long as we live in this World where we have Temptations to the contrary Now if the Gospel as it is a Doctrine of Grace direct us to our several Duties and teach us that we should live as aforesaid then undoubtedly it hath Precepts as well as Promises for without some Precepts it cannot direct our Duties and teach us that we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present World I hope the R. Brother with whom I have to do will not flee to the Popish distinction between Precepts and Counsels and then say that the Gospel teacheth us that we should live as is said not by Precept but by Counsel For he hath himself stopt that passage into the Popish Camp by what he hath published to the World in his Sermon on the Death of the Late Queen where he thus writes The greatness of God gives Authority to his Counsel Mr. Goodwins Sermon on the Death of the Queen pa. 7 8. We readily hearken to those who are above us and every word which they speak carries a weight in it and is forcibly impressed on our minds If a Friend adviseth us to what we apprehend may be an advantage we chearfully receive and follow his Counsel but the direction of a Superiour is a Command and adds the obligation of Duty to the consideration of our own benefit God then who is the greatest above all may very well guide all by his Counsel and it is not more a Duty than a Priviledge to observe the measures of his conduct Thus he And by this he hath left no room for the distinction between the Lords Advioe and Counsel on the one hand and his Precept and Command on the other So that if the Lords Gospel direct and teach us our Duty by Advice and Counsel it doth it also by Precept and Command since the Lords Advice and Counsel ought to be unto us a Precept and Command The Sixth and last Testimony out of the New Testament which I shall alledge to this purpose at present is in Rev. 14.6 7. where it is written I saw another Angel fly in the midst of Heaven having the Everlasting Gospel to preach unto them who dwell on the Earth saying with a loud voice fear God and give glory to him and worship him that made Heaven and Earth and the Sea and the Fountains of Waters This Scripture I quoted in the Apology on the Margent pag. 23. but the Answerer passed it over but for all that it stands still in the Bible as a Witness against those who say that the Gospel hath no Precept For it is evident from the words of the Text that the Moral Law the First Commandment of it and by consequence the other Commandments of the Moral Law are taken into the Gospel so as that sincere Evangelical Obedience to them is made one Article of the Gospel Covenant or Law of Grace with respect to the obtaining possession of Salvation consummate in Heavenly Glory For the First Commandment of the Moral Law obliges us to fear God and give glory to him and to worship him who made the World if then this first Command be not taken into the Gospel-Covenant and sincere Obedience to it made one Article thereof none could preach the Everlasting Gospel to the Inhabitants of the Earth by saying Fear God and give glory to him and worship him that made the heavens and the earth c. But so it is that the Angel was represented in the Vision to John preaching the Everlasting Gospel and saying with a loud voice Fear God and give glory to him c. Therefore that Command to fear God and give glory to him c. is taken into the Gospel so as that sincere Obedience to
