Milton. Doct. and Dis. of Divorce, b. ii. c. 3. nor take a more effectual course to bring it into conA man cannot do a greater despite to the Christian relitempt, and to make it be hiss'd out of the world, than to represent it as a lewd and licentious doctrine, which gives men a perfect discharge from all the duties of morality, and obligeth them only to believe confidently, that Christ hath purchased for them a liberty to do what they will, and that upon these terms, and no other, they are secured of the favour of God in this world, and eternal salvation in the other. This is the sum and plain result of the Antinomian doctrine.-Tillotson, vol. ii. Ser. 50. That doctrine that holds that the covenant of grace is not established upon conditions, and that nothing of performance is required on man's part to give him an interest in it, but only to believe that he is justified; this certainly subverts all the motives of a good life. But this is the doctrine of the Antinomians.-South, vol. vii. Ser. 5.
