INTRODUCTION
EVANGELISTA, a Minister of the Gospel. NOMIST, a Legalist. ANTINOMISTA, an Antinomian. NEOPHYTUS, a Young Christian.
Sect. 1. Differences about the Law.—2. A threefold Law.
Nomista. Sir, my neighbour, Neophytus and I having lately had some conference with this our friend and acquaintance, Antinomista, about some points of religion, wherein he, differing from us both, at last said he would be contented to be judged by our minister: therefore, have we made bold to come unto you, all three of us, to pray you to hear us, and judge of our differences.
Evan. You are all of you very welcome to me; and if you please to let me hear what your differences are, I will tell you what I think.
