the_o law_n may_v be_v consider_v in_o several_a sense_n as_o 1._o sometime_o it_o signify_v large_o any_o heavenly_a doctrine_n whether_o it_o be_v promise_n or_o precept_n 27_o âom_n 3_o 27_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o of_o the_o law_n of_o work_n and_o of_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n 2._o sometime_o it_o signify_v any_o part_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o which_o sense_n jesus_n answer_v the_o jew_n 6_o âh_a 12_o 34_o âal_n 82_o 6_o be_v it_o not_o write_v in_o your_o law_n i_o say_v you_o be_v god_n now_o where_o be_v that_o write_v but_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o psalm_n 3._o sometime_o it_o signify_v the_o whole_a oeconomy_n and_o peculiar_a dispensation_n of_o god_n worship_n unto_o the_o jew_n according_a to_o the_o moral_a ceremonial_a 5.23_o âk_n 16.16_o âal_n 5.23_o and_o judicial_a law_n in_o which_o sense_n it_o be_v say_v to_o continue_v until_o john_n the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n be_v until_o john_n but_o since_o that_o time_n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v preach_v 4._o sometime_o it_o be_v take_v synechdochical_o for_o some_o act_n of_o the_o law_n only_o against_o such_o there_o be_v no_o law_n 10.1_o âeb_fw-mi 10.1_o 5._o sometime_o it_o be_v take_v only_o for_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n the_o law_n have_v a_o shadow_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v 6._o sometime_o it_o be_v use_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o sufficient_a to_o save_v without_o christ_n and_o thus_o the_o apostle_n general_o take_v it_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o galathian_n 7._o sometime_o it_o be_v take_v for_o that_o part_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o be_v mere_o mandative_a and_o preceptive_a without_o any_o promise_n at_o all_o 8._o sometime_o it_o be_v take_v for_o the_o whole_a moral_a law_n with_o the_o preface_n and_o promise_n add_v to_o it_o and_o in_o this_o last_o sense_n we_o take_v it_o when_o we_o say_v it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 6_o exod_a 19_o 5_o 6_o 3._o how_o
