| ### QUESTION 106 ### OF THE LAW OF THE GOSPEL, CALLED THE NEW LAW, CONSIDERED IN ITSELF ###  |

| #### Prologue |

| #### #### In proper sequence we have to consider now the Law of the Gospel which is called the New Law: and in the first place we must consider it in itself; secondly, in comparison with the Old Law; thirdly, we shall treat of those things that are contained in the New Law. Under the first head there are four points of inquiry: #### (1) What kind of law is it? i.e. Is it a written law or is it instilled in the heart? #### (2) Of its efficacy, i.e. does it justify? #### (3) Of its beginning: should it have been given at the beginning of the world? #### (4) Of its end: i.e. whether it will last until the end, or will another law take its place? ####  |
