We find the same rules for our actions, the same duties required, the same sins forbidden in the Gospel as in the law.
— Ezekiel Hopkins (1633-1690)
God’s Will or Our Own Will?
It is but a crafty pretense when one part of the law is pleaded to excuse obedience to another; for when we pick and choose, we do not fulfill God’s will, but our own.
— Thomas Manton
Law of God
For by the law we see our misery, and by the gospel our remedy.
— Edmund Calamy
Obedience
This is the true obedience, whether to God or man, when we look not so much to the letter of the law, as to the mind of the law-maker.
— John Trapp
Law and Grace
The law demands what it cannot give; grace gives all it demands.
— Blaise Pascal
