for_o it_o be_v pretend_v that_o god_n see_v no_o sin_n in_o his_o people_n and_o that_o as_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n so_o there_o be_v nothing_o condemnable_a in_o they_o who_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n but_o those_o thing_n which_o in_o they_o that_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n be_v formal_o sin_n lose_v their_o malignity_n and_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o they_o that_o be_v in_o he_o there_o be_v once_o a_o book_n print_v in_o london_n anno_fw-la 1656._o and_o with_o the_o approbation_n and_o commendation_n of_o most_o of_o the_o lead_a minister_n there_o especial_o of_o the_o

your_o temptation_n prevail_v with_o to_o transgress_v any_o of_o christ_n command_n beware_v you_o do_v not_o thereupon_o take_v occasion_n to_o call_v christ_n love_n to_o you_o into_o question_n but_o believe_v firm_o that_o he_o love_v you_o as_o dear_o as_o he_o do_v before_o you_o transgress_v for_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n as_o no_o good_a in_o you_o or_o do_v by_o you_o do_v or_o can_v move_v christ_n to_o love_v you_o the_o more_o so_o no_o evil_a in_o you_o or_o do_v by_o you_o can_v move_v he_o to_o love_v you_o the_o less_o this_o book_n be_v call_v the_o marrow_n of_o modern_a divinity_n and_o it_o may_v true_o be_v call_v of_o modern_a divinity_n indeed_o for_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v nothing_o of_o the_o primitive_a ancient_a divinity_n in_o it_o those_o good_a man_n those_o famous_a light_n of_o christ_n church_n neither_o know_v nor_o teach_v any_o such_o doctrine_n but_o as_o they_o find_v by_o sad_a experience_n that_o none_o while_o here_o be_v so_o perfect_a as_o not_o to_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n so_o they_o be_v far_o enough_o from_o think_v that_o those_o transgression_n be_v not_o formal_a sin_n even_o in_o the_o best_a of_o men._n and_o therefore_o as_o they_o teach_v with_o st._n john_n 1_o john_n 1.8_o that_o if_o the_o best_a man_n say_v they_o have_v no_o sin_n they_o will_v deceive_v themselves_o and_o the_o truth_n etc._n etc._n so_o they_o teach_v too_o that_o daily_o confess_v of_o our_o sin_n daily_a repentance_n for_o they_o and_o daily_a application_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o merit_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o they_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o most_o righteous_a while_o they_o live_v in_o this_o world_n 2._o but_o how_o then_o be_v we_o to_o understand_v this_o passage_n in_o our_o text_n why_o i_o think_v we_o shall_v best_o and_o most_o distinct_o do_v this_o by_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v two_o part_n of_o the_o law_n or_o two_o thing_n considerable_a in_o it_o the_o preceptive_a if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v i._n e._n the_o thing_n command_v or_o forbid_v and_o the_o sanction_n i._n e._n the_o punishment_n threaten_v to_o enforce_v respect_n to_o it_o 1._o there_o be_v some_o that_o adventute_n to_o say_v and_o perhaps_o if_o well_o understand_v safe_o enough_o that_o the_o first_o be_v not_o give_v for_o a_o righteous_a man_n their_o reason_n be_v because_o a_o good_a man_n need_v not_o the_o direction_n of_o a_o external_a law_n to_o show_v he_o his_o duty_n because_o he_o be_v in_o some_o sense_n a_o law_n to_o himself_o as_o our_o apostle_n speak_v rom._n 2.14_o he_o find_v it_o write_v upon_o the_o table_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o mind_n and_o need_v not_o say_v who_o shall_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n to_o fetch_v he_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o from_o thence_o as_o some_o interpret_v another_o passage_n in_o the_o same_o epistle_n thus_o it_o be_v say_v ireneus_fw-la with_o the_o good_a man_n that_o live_v before_o moses_n they_o have_v no_o write_a law_n nor_o need_v any_o because_o they_o find_v as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o great_a line_n of_o duty_n write_v upon_o their_o own_o mind_n now_o it_o be_v in_o its_o proportion_n true_a of_o all_o good_a man_n since_o and_o what_o need_v they_o the_o pedagogie_n of_o a_o law_n to_o teach_v they_o their_o duty_n that_o understand_v it_o well_o enough_o if_o they_o will_v attend_v to_o the_o instruction_n of_o their_o own_o mind_n and_o conscience_n but_o i_o will_v not_o adventure_v to_o lay_v all_o the_o weight_n of_o this_o say_v only_o upon_o this_o exposition_n though_o i_o confess_v it_o have_v very_o good_a authority_n to_o plead_v for_o i_o do_v not_o think_v this_o inward_a light_n so_o very_o clear_a in_o man_n but_o that_o they_o may_v want_v a_o clear_a director_n and_o guide_n in_o many_o case_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o best_a man_n have_v glad_o accept_v and_o acknowledge_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o write_a law_n and_o revelation_n of_o god_n 2._o i_o will_v therefore_o rather_o think_v that_o this_o speech_n of_o our_o apostle_n respect_v the_o sanction_n of_o the_o law_n i_o mean_v the_o penal_a part_n of_o it_o i._n e._n which_o command_v such_o duty_n and_o forbid_v such_o sin_n under_o the_o penalty_n of_o suffering_n and_o punishment_n in_o case_n of_o neglelect_v the_o one_o and_o commit_v the_o other_o and_o this_o i_o think_v may_v be_v say_v not_o to_o be_v make_v for_o a_o righteous_a man_n in_o these_o two_o respect_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o impellent_fw-fr of_o his_o duty_n or_o not_o the_o great_a argument_n that_o influence_v his_o obedience_n he_o serve_v his_o god_n and_o do_v his_o duty_n willing_o and_o from_o a_o vital_a principle_n within_o and_o so_o need_v not_o the_o rod_n of_o the_o law_n to_o whip_v he_o to_o it_o for_o what_o need_n of_o a_o law_n say_v st._n chrysostom_n to_o force_v they_o to_o duty_n who_o do_v it_o willing_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n by_o the_o influence_n as_o well_o as_o assistance_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o grace_n and_o i_o find_v st._n augustin_n st._n hierome_n and_o other_o quote_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v favour_v by_o what_o our_o apostle_n speak_v so_o often_o of_o the_o gospel_n spirit_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o legal_a call_v one_o the_o spirit_n of_o love_n as_o 2_o tim._n 1.7_o and_o the_o other_o of_o bondage_n as_o rom._n 8.15_o one_o therefore_o be_v call_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o child_n which_o do_v his_o duty_n out_o of_o filial_a respect_n and_o love_n the_o other_o of_o a_o slave_n who_o do_v what_o he_o do_v only_o for_o fear_n i_o be_o not_o of_o some_o rant_a enthusiast_n opinion_n that_o it_o be_v altogether_o below_o a_o good_a man_n to_o have_v either_o any_o regard_n to_o reward_n or_o punishment_n i_o think_v hope_n and_o fear_v two_o very_a useful_a passion_n in_o man_n while_o he_o be_v in_o this_o state_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o unbecoming_a good_a man_n to_o be_v influence_v in_o some_o measure_n by_o they_o though_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o more_o a_o man_n improve_v in_o the_o divine_a life_n the_o more_o he_o get_v from_o under_o their_o government_n and_o the_o less_o he_o need_v they_o and_o in_o time_n arrive_v to_o that_o settle_a state_n and_o that_o sweet_a relish_n of_o god_n and_o goodness_n as_o to_o be_v able_a with_o the_o good_a man_n of_o old_a to_o say_v amor_fw-la meus_fw-la pondus_fw-la meum_fw-la love_n be_v the_o great_a weight_n that_o set_v my_o mind_n in_o motion_n and_o the_o prevail_a argument_n in_o all_o my_o duty_n and_o service_n to_o my_o god_n 2._o the_o penal_a part_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o make_v for_o a_o righteous_a man_n because_o he_o be_v not_o obnoxious_a to_o it_o nor_o within_o the_o reach_n of_o it_o the_o penalty_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o be_v inflict_v upon_o those_o only_a that_o transgress_v the_o law_n which_o a_o righteous_a man_n so_o far_o as_o he_o be_v righteous_a do_v not_o and_o for_o what_o he_o do_v amiss_o god_n will_v accept_v his_o repentance_n as_o a_o deletery_n of_o his_o gild_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o what_o his_o saviour_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v for_o he_o be_v make_v free_a from_o sin_n he_o be_v free_v from_o the_o curse_n due_a to_o sin_n and_o so_o in_o this_o sense_n as_o well_o as_o some_o other_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n this_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o explanation_n of_o this_o negative_a part_n of_o the_o text_n the_o law_n be_v not_o make_v for_o a_o righteous_a man._n 2._o the_o next_o be_v the_o positive_a but_o for_o the_o lawless_a and_o disobedient_a i._n e._n for_o sinner_n in_o general_a and_o for_o those_o
