they_o thus_o if_o we_o understand_v these_o word_n in_o the_o evangelical_a sense_n we_o can_v be_v deceive_v but_o may_v know_v the_o truth_n and_o how_o to_o answer_v all_o gainsayer_n i_o can_v bring_v many_o instance_n of_o this_o nature_n but_o these_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v that_o before_o we_o can_v sufficient_o expound_v and_o right_o understand_v the_o gospel_n it_o be_v meet_a that_o we_o shall_v know_v and_o be_v able_a to_o show_v the_o nature_n and_o also_o the_o agreement_n and_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o between_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n wherefore_o before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a expound_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o saint_n john_n which_o i_o have_v undertake_v i_o will_v follow_v the_o step_n of_o the_o learned_a of_o former_a time_n and_o will_v endeavour_v to_o show_v brief_o the_o agreement_n and_o difference_n between_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n between_o the_o old_a covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o new_a covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o in_o so_o do_v i_o will_v labour_v to_o reform_v some_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v do_v before_o i_o and_o to_o handle_v this_o point_n a_o little_a more_o distinct_o for_o whereas_o the_o most_o part_n of_o they_o do_v confuse_o compare_v the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n together_o without_o distinction_n of_o the_o word_n and_o while_o they_o labour_v to_o make_v the_o gospel_n more_o glorious_a by_o all_o mean_n they_o do_v put_v too_o great_a a_o difference_n between_o it_o and_o the_o law_n which_o have_v be_v a_o cause_n of_o much_o error_n to_o many_o and_o even_o of_o vilify_a and_o contemn_v the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o law_n my_o desire_n and_o purpose_n be_v first_o to_o show_v the_o several_a acceptation_n and_o the_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n and_o then_o to_o declare_v the_o true_a agreement_n and_o difference_n and_o to_o make_v those_o difference_n which_o be_v observe_v by_o other_o to_o agree_v together_o so_o far_o as_o truth_n will_v suffer_v and_o to_o cut_v off_o all_o vain_a and_o

your_o heart_n shall_v be_v enable_v with_o love_n of_o both_o and_o you_o better_o enable_v to_o understand_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o feel_v the_o power_n thereof_o in_o your_o soul_n chap._n ii_o first_o for_o the_o word_n testament_n it_o do_v signify_v the_o last_o will_n of_o a_o man_n which_o he_o make_v before_o his_o death_n and_o leaf_n behind_o he_o either_o in_o word_n or_o writing_n testify_v by_o seal_n and_o witness_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o will_v he_o do_v dispose_v his_o land_n and_o possession_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v and_o all_o his_o good_n which_o he_o have_v gather_v in_o his_o life_n time_n and_o do_v bequeathe_v they_o as_o he_o himself_o will_v and_o to_o who_o he_o think_v fit_a either_o free_o or_o with_o condition_n to_o have_v and_o hold_v they_o after_o his_o death_n and_o not_o before_o this_o be_v the_o true_a and_o proper_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v use_v by_o the_o apostle_n hebr._n 19_o 16._o and_o because_o the_o apostle_n there_o call_v the_o covenant_n christ_n testament_n and_o also_o elsewhere_o in_o his_o epistle_n wheresoever_o he_o do_v speak_v of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a covenant_n that_o be_v of_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o the_o gospel_n do_v use_v the_o greek_a word_n {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o even_o the_o same_o which_o there_o he_o use_v for_o the_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n of_o a_o testator_n whereupon_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n before_o christ_n and_o the_o covenant_n in_o they_o be_v call_v the_o new_a testament_n and_o that_o very_o fit_o in_o some_o respect_n i_o mean_v in_o respect_n of_o christ_n the_o mediator_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n more_o obscure_o reveal_v to_o the_o father_n in_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o law_n and_o prophet_n and_o more_o plain_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o writing_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v never_o in_o force_n neither_o can_v be_v ratify_v but_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v before_o his_o come_v seal_v by_o his_o blood_n in_o type_n and_o figure_n and_o at_o his_o death_n in_o his_o flesh_n it_o be_v full_o seal_v and_o ratify_v by_o his_o very_a blood_n itself_o actual_o and_o indeed_o shed_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o may_v be_v fit_o call_v the_o testament_n because_o as_o a_o testament_n be_v not_o enforce_v till_o the_o testator_n be_v dead_a and_o where_o a_o testament_n be_v there_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n must_v come_v between_o to_o ratify_v it_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o promise_n therein_o make_v unto_o we_o christ_n have_v perform_v and_o purchase_v all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o we_o and_o do_v free_o give_v to_o we_o himself_o his_o righteousness_n and_o all_o his_o treasure_n as_o a_o man_n give_v his_o land_n and_o good_n in_o his_o last_o will_n but_o they_o can_v be_v of_o force_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o heaven_n till_o his_o death_n come_v between_o as_o a_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n also_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a that_o justice_n shall_v be_v satisfy_v for_o sin_n by_o his_o death_n as_o righteousness_n of_o life_n perform_v and_o salvation_n purchase_v by_o he_o for_o we_o second_o as_o a_o man_n do_v seal_v his_o testament_n when_o he_o see_v or_o imagine_v that_o his_o death_n be_v at_o hand_n so_o christ_n at_o his_o last_o supper_n by_o institute_v the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n and_o by_o the_o outward_a sign_n and_o seal_n therein_o contain_v do_v seal_v to_o his_o church_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n thus_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n the_o mediator_n god_n and_o man_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o writing_n old_a and_o new_a wherein_o it_o be_v contain_v be_v call_v testament_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n consider_v simple_o or_o as_o the_o maker_n of_o the_o covenant_n with_o man_n and_o the_o party_n between_o who_o and_o man_n the_o covenant_n be_v make_v the_o covenant_n and_o the_o write_v old_a and_o new_a wherein_o it_o be_v comprehend_v can_v in_o no_o case_n be_v call_v a_o testament_n because_o a_o testament_n be_v of_o no_o force_n without_o the_o testator_n death_n but_o god_n the_o father_n never_o die_v nor_o can_v die_v neither_o god_n simple_o consider_v nor_o god_n the_o maker_n of_o the_o covenant_n with_o man_n and_o the_o other_o party_n in_o it_o which_o be_v oppose_v to_o man_n only_o christ_n die_v as_o he_o be_v mediator_n god_n and_o man_n and_o as_o he_o be_v make_v a_o partner_n with_o man_n and_o stand_v on_o his_o side_n in_o the_o covenant_n and_o as_o he_o be_v the_o testator_n and_o free_a giver_n of_o his_o word_n in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o of_o his_o grace_n and_o gift_n therein_o promise_v so_o they_o be_v call_v testament_n and_o in_o no_o other_o respect_n at_o all_o from_o the_o word_n testament_n thus_o expound_v we_o may_v easy_o collect_v and_o gather_v what_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o testament_n and_o both_o the_o agreement_n and_o the_o true_a and_o main_a difference_n between_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o writing_n contain_v in_o both_o first_o we_o see_v that_o they_o both_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v the_o writing_n and_o instrument_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o christ_n and_o his_o last_o will_n in_o which_o and_o by_o which_o he_o do_v give_v himself_o to_o his_o church_n withal_o his_o righteousness_n and_o obedience_n and_o all_o the_o blessing_n which_o thereupon_o depend_v and_o they_o be_v both_o seal_v by_o his_o blood_n and_o ratify_v by_o his_o death_n this_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o word_n before_o lay_v down_o wherein_o be_v show_v that_o both_o the_o old_a and_o new_a writing_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o testament_n only_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n the_o mediator_n and_o as_o they_o be_v seal_v by_o his_o blood_n and_o ratify_v by_o his_o death_n and_o he_o be_v the_o testator_n in_o they_o as_o he_o be_v mediator_n if_o either_o of_o they_o be_v not_o seal_v ratify_v and_o proceed_v from_o he_o as_o mediator_n it_o be_v no_o testament_n at_o all_o to_o call_v it_o a_o

christ_n blood_n therein_o signify_v but_o to_o say_v that_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v not_o at_o all_o nor_o at_o any_o time_n seal_v with_o christ_n blood_n but_o only_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o bullock_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o that_o the_o new_a testament_n only_o be_v seal_v with_o christ_n blood_n be_v to_o make_v a_o false_a difference_n for_o very_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o new_a fold_v up_o and_o the_o new_a the_o old_a open_v to_o all_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o new_a by_o christ_n blood_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o old_a also_o yea_o as_o our_o sacrament_n and_o the_o outward_a sign_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v true_a outward_a sign_n consecrate_v to_o signify_v christ_n death_n past_a so_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o old_a testament_n true_a sign_n consecrate_v to_o signify_v christ_n death_n to_o come_v and_o as_o we_o seal_v the_o new_a testament_n so_o do_v they_o seal_v the_o old_a as_o with_o our_o right_a outward_a seal_v there_o go_v the_o inward_a seal_n of_o christ_n blood_n so_o also_o with_o those_o outward_a seal_n right_o understand_v and_o use_v and_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o say_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v seal_v only_o by_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o water_n when_o we_o administer_v and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n because_o we_o use_v no_o other_o outward_a sign_n so_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o say_v of_o their_o sacrifice_n that_o in_o they_o there_o be_v no_o seal_v but_o by_o blood_n of_o beast_n sacrifice_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o vanity_n of_o this_o difference_n also_o the_o three_o difference_n which_o the_o schoolman_n make_v and_o which_o only_o the_o papist_n do_v hold_v be_v that_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v only_o promise_v eternal_a blessing_n and_o the_o eternal_a inheritance_n and_o do_v foreshow_v they_o in_o type_n as_o in_o the_o blood_n of_o sacrifice_n christ_n blood_n in_o the_o promise_a land_n the_o inheritance_n of_o heaven_n and_o such_o like_a but_o it_o do_v not_o give_v they_o till_o christ_n the_o testator_n be_v dead_a but_o the_o new_a testament_n do_v promise_v and_o also_o give_v and_o exhibit_v the_o thing_n promise_v this_o difference_n be_v very_o false_a and_o impious_a and_o be_v easy_o confute_v by_o the_o former_a doctrine_n and_o by_o the_o whole_a scripture_n for_o that_o which_o only_o promise_v and_o give_v not_o be_v not_o a_o testament_n it_o be_v never_o in_o force_n neither_o ratify_v at_o all_o for_o be_v in_o force_n by_o the_o testator_n death_n it_o must_v needs_o give_v as_o well_o as_o promise_v if_o the_o testator_n death_n never_o come_v between_o than_o it_o be_v no_o testament_n but_o the_o old_a be_v a_o testament_n and_o be_v in_o force_n and_o do_v give_v and_o do_v give_v grace_n as_o well_o as_o promise_v it_o this_o the_o whole_a scripture_n show_v for_o the_o legacy_n promise_v and_o give_v in_o christ_n will_n be_v himself_o

inheritance_n righteousness_n and_o right_a to_o all_o blessing_n temporal_a and_o spiritual_a now_o though_o christ_n be_v only_o promise_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o he_o shall_v come_v and_o obey_v and_o suffer_v for_o man_n redemption_n but_o be_v not_o actual_o exhibit_v nor_o do_v obey_v and_o suffer_v till_o the_o day_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n yet_o his_o manhood_n birth_n

remission_n of_o sin_n justification_n and_o redemption_n which_o be_v the_o blessing_n promise_v and_o give_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o four_o difference_n be_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o old_a and_o the_o old_a be_v but_o a_o mean_n to_o obtain_v the_o new_a this_o be_v confute_v first_o by_o the_o doctrine_n before_o for_o they_o which_o be_v both_o in_o substance_n one_o and_o the_o same_o testament_n can_v the_o one_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o other_o but_o so_o be_v these_o two_o as_o i_o have_v before_o show_v and_o it_o be_v most_o manifest_a by_o the_o agreement_n between_o they_o that_o as_o the_o old_a confirm_v the_o new_a and_o serve_v to_o move_v man_n to_o receive_v it_o so_o the_o new_a be_v embrace_v serve_v to_o give_v light_n to_o the_o old_a that_o man_n may_v see_v into_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o it_o and_o right_o understand_v it_o and_o so_o here_o be_v no_o difference_n in_o this_o respect_n they_o be_v both_o alike_o second_o the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a even_o in_o the_o place_n which_o they_o cite_v to_o prove_v this_o difference_n to_o wit_n rom._n 10._o 4._o and_o gal._n 3._o 24._o and_o teach_v plain_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o both_o and_o both_o serve_v joint_o for_o this_o one_o and_o common_a end_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o christ_n and_o to_o perfect_a communion_n with_o he_o and_o therefore_o the_o new_a be_v no_o otherwise_o the_o end_n of_o the_o old_a than_o the_o old_a be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o new_a and_o so_o this_o difference_n be_v false_a and_o erroneous_a the_o five_o difference_n be_v that_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v give_v only_o to_o the_o natural_a israelite_n the_o new_a to_o all_o the_o world_n which_o be_v here_o by_o the_o

bloody_a sacrifice_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o of_o the_o nation_n of_o israel_n only_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n the_o natural_a israelite_n have_v the_o keep_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n commit_v to_o they_o for_o a_o time_n to_o wit_n from_o moses_n until_o christ_n and_o yet_o even_o than_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o teach_v the_o word_n and_o
