consequent_o to_o prevent_v our_o need_n of_o pardon_n 3._o it_o will_v follow_v that_o against_o eternal_a wrath_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n we_o must_v not_o plead_v the_o pardon_n of_o

which_o i_o call_v implicit_a do_v arise_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o offence_n only_o or_o also_o because_o of_o this_o general_a threat_n in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n i_o will_v not_o

it_o be_v almost_o as_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v for_o our_o incitement_n as_o the_o precept_n for_o our_o direction_n god_n law_n be_v perfect_a law_n fit_v to_o the_o attainment_n of_o all_o

that_o which_o be_v not_o threaten_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o i_o say_v that_o what_o no_o law_n in_o force_n do_v threaten_v that_o sin_n do_v not_o explicit_o deserve_v not_o so_o deserve_v as_o that_o we_o need_v to_o fear_v the_o suffering_n of_o it_o and_o upon_o this_o ground_n the_o three_o forementioned_a consequence_n must_v needs_o follow_v for_o the_o new_a covenant_n threaten_v not_o death_n to_o any_o sin_n but_o final_a unbelief_n or_o at_o least_o to_o no_o sin_n without_o final_a unbelief_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o old_a covenant_n be_v abrogate_a than_o no_o law_n threaten_v it_o and_o consequent_o 1_o our_o sin_n do_v not_o deserve_v it_o in_o the_o sense_n express_v nor_o christ_n prevent_v the_o wrath_n deserve_v but_o only_o the_o desert_n of_o

do_v err_v as_o foul_o as_o this_o but_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o man_n by_o read_v and_o argument_n to_o be_v draw_v to_o entertain_v some_o opinion_n in_o his_o brain_n not_o only_o
