A50426	St. Paul's travailing pangs, with his legal-Galatians, or, A treatise of justification wherein these two dissertions are chiefly evinced viz. 1. That justification is not by the law, but by faith, 2. That yet men are generally prone to seek justification by the law : together with several characters assigned of a legal and evangical spirit : to which is added (by way of appendix) the manner of transferring justification from the law to faith / by Zach.

now_o i_o answer_v take_v the_o law_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n for_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n strict_o and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o give_v for_o a_o covenant_n to_o the_o jew_n for_o than_o it_o must_v have_v come_v in_o against_o the_o promise_n or_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n that_o be_v make_v before_o but_o take_v it_o in_o the_o second_o or_o three_o sense_n either_o for_o

now_o i_o shall_v but_o draw_v out_o the_o apostle_n argument_n which_o i_o suppose_v to_o be_v this_o moses_n describe_v two_o way_n of_o justification_n that_o by_o the_o law_n and_o that_o by_o

the_o way_n of_o faith_n too_o that_o you_o may_v betake_v yourselves_o unto_o it_o for_o justification_n and_o life_n therefore_o the_o law_n take_v it_o either_o for_o the_o whole_a old-testament_n or_o for_o the_o dispensation_n by_o moses_n and_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n indeed_o with_o the_o jew_n but_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n for_o in_o it_o moses_n describe_v the_o way_n of_o

8_o 7_o 8._o by_o this_o it_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n for_o else_o god_n will_v not_o have_v find_v fault_n with_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n nor_o abrogate_a it_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o here_o observe_v that_o this_o 〈◊〉_d no_o jewish_a argument_n for_o they_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v that_o their_o law_n be_v a_o ministration_n of_o death_n while_o they_o

against_o the_o apostle_n paul_n who_o call_v the_o law_n a_o ministration_n of_o death_n and_o condemnation_n and_o yet_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v the_o jew_n covenant_n and_o that_o moses_n in_o it_o describe_v the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n two_o i_o answer_v that_o these_o two_o be_v very_o consistent_a it_o may_v prove_v a_o ministration_n of_o death_n to_o they_o and_o yet_o be_v a_o way_n of_o grace_n and_o life_n in_o itself_o so_o be_v the_o plain_a gospel_n in_o the_o world_n a_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o the_o disobedient_a and_o unbeliever_n that_o yet_o be_v certain_o in_o the_o great_a intendment_n of_o it_o a_o way_n of_o grace_n and_o life_n three_o the_o law_n prove_v a_o ministration_n of_o death_n to_o many_o of_o they_o because_o they_o mistake_v

wit_n but_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v easy_a in_o itself_o to_o move_v a_o singer_n then_o to_o remove_v a_o mountain_n the_o last_o objection_n be_v this_o but_o than_o you_o substitute_v evangelical_n work_v in_o the_o room_n of_o legal_a and_o so_o still_o you_o turn_v the_o gospel_n answer_v the_o second_o objection_n answer_v which_o be_v call_v the_o law_n of_o faith_n into_o a_o

and_o strange_o wed_v unto_o their_o own_o apprehension_n and_o be_v somewhat_o of_o a_o antinomian_a strain_n yet_o i_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o it_o may_v be_v make_v by_o a_o sober_a man_n i_o shall_v prevent_v myself_o in_o what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v in_o the_o follow_a part_n of_o this_o treatise_n if_o i_o shall_v answer_v it_o at_o large_a in_o this_o place_n yet_o to_o give_v some_o taste_n of_o a_o answer_n here_o i_o make_v this_o distinction_n that_o there_o be_v indeed_o two_o way_n of_o run_v upon_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n either_o in_o whole_a or_o in_o part_n work_n two_o way_n of_o run_v upon_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n 1._o either_o upon_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n pure_o and_o strict_o so_o none_o dare_v touch_v or_o meddle_v with_o it_o 2._o upon_o it_o in_o part_n so_o as_o to_o mix_v it_o with_o the_o gospel_n a._n now_o i_o answer_v therefore_o that_o indeed_o our_o great_a care_n be_v to_o be_v lay_v out_o about_o avoid_v of_o these_o mixture_n of_o legality_n in_o our_o treat_v with_o god_n for_o justification_n and_o that_o be_v the_o great_a design_n of_o this_o treatise_n to_o caveat_n we_o against_o these_o mixture_n which_o we_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o be_v saulty_a in_o as_o i_o hope_v they_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o sequel_n of_o my_o discourse_n that_o please_v to_o go_v on_o in_o it_o hitherto_o we_o have_v see_v that_o there_o be_v gospel_n in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o what_o this_o gospel_n in_o the_o law_n be_v as_o also_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v deliver_v by_o moses_n can_v be_v no_o other_o but_o to_o put_v his_o disciple_n upon_o the_o way_n of_o believe_v for_o justification_n there_o be_v many_o other_o place_n in_o moses_n especial_o in_o the_o book_n of_o deut._n that_o have_v much_o gospel_n in_o they_o i_o shall_v only_o add_v one_o allegorical_a or_o typical_a argument_n which_o yet_o i_o think_v have_v much_o evidence_n in_o it_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n have_v gospel_n in_o it_o it_o be_v this_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o two_o table_n when_o it_o be_v write_v the_o second_o time_n by_o moses_n from_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n or_o else_o by_o

that_o the_o law_n of_o our_o creation_n be_v natural_o a_o covenat_n of_o work_n faith_n the_o objection_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o gentile_n against_o justification_n by_o faith_n and_o that_o the_o

can_v not_o be_v justify_v at_o all_o or_o they_o must_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n i_o answer_v 1._o all_o be_v not_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o heathen_n be_v in_o a_o justifiable_a
