One may preach a covenant of grace more clearly than another... But when they preach a covenant of works for salvation, that is not truth.
From Anne Hutchinson
How did Abraham know that it was God that bid him offer his son, being a breach of the sixth commandment?
The Lord knows that I could not open scripture; he must by his prophetical office open it unto me. So after that being unsatisfied in the thing, the Lord was pleased to bring this scripture out of the Hebrews.
If you look upon the rule in Titus it is a rule to me. If you convince me that it is no rule I shall yield.
I have been guilty of wrong thinking.
Must not I then entertain the saints because I must keep my conscience.
Will it please you to answer me this and to give me a rule for then I will willingly submit to any truth.
I am called here to answer before you, but I hear no things laid to my charge.
I conceive there lies a clear rule in Titus that the elder women should instruct the younger and then I must have a time wherein I must do it.
They thought that I did conceive there was a difference between them and Mr. Cotton... I might say they might preach a covenant of works as did the apostles, but to preach a covenant of works and to be under a covenant of works is another business.
