"[T]he Law here spoken of is the very doctrine of the Gospel; and that Gods putting this Law into mens inward parts & writing it in their hearts, is his making them to understand, and to love; to believe, and to obey this Gospel."
John Spilsbury, God's Ordinance, The Saints Privilege, part II (London:M.Simmons, 1646) 64.
"For faith is the law that God in the covenant did promise to write in the hearts of his people, Jer.31:32 with Rom.3:27. Hence it is that faith is said to be the gift of God, Eph.2:8 Ye are saved by grace through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.
Thomas Collier, A Discourse of the true Gospel Blessedness in the New Covenant (London: H.Hills, 1659), 50.
"Q. What ought to be the ground and motive of a Christians obedience?
A.1. The command of Christ, with is the bond of the conscience, Rom.1:14, Acts 20:22.

Christopher Blackwood, A Soul-searching Catechism, second ed. (London: J.C., 1653), 24
