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. Mayne ...	Mayne, Zachary, 1631-1694.	1662 (1662)	Wing M1485; ESTC R4815	251,017	422

and_o this_o i_o think_v be_v the_o judgement_n of_o all_o divine_n to_o have_v be_v the_o error_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o galatian_n now_o let_v these_o three_o thing_n be_v grant_v yet_o in_o the_o four_o place_n by_o way_n of_o direct_a answer_n to_o the_o objection_n though_o the_o ceremonial_a l●w_n be_v apt_a to_o prove_v a_o snare_n and_o actual_o do_v prove_v a_o snare_n to_o the_o jew_n and_o galatian_n yet_o it_o be_v their_o natural_a inclination_n to_o legality_n to_o a_o legal_a way_n of_o treat_v with_o god_n for_o their_o justification_n and_o acceptation_n that_o betray_v they_o into_o this_o snare_n or_o that_o make_v it_o prove_v such_o a_o snare_n to_o they_o for_o else_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v in_o its_o true_a use_n and_o in_o the_o design_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o first_o give_v it_o a_o great_a blessing_n unto_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o that_o dispensation_n which_o be_v call_v their_o wisdom_n and_o their_o glory_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o nation_n deut._n 4.6_o i_o say_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v not_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n unavoidable_o such_o a_o snare_n as_o will_v lead_v they_o to_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n nor_o in_o the_o design_n of_o god_n who_o give_v it_o nay_o it_o be_v design_v to_o be_v to_o they_o a_o sigurative_a gospel_n and_o therefore_o though_o it_o be_v somewhat_o capable_a of_o be_v make_v use_n of_o to_o such_o a_o end_n to_o serve_v the_o turn_n and_o humour_n of_o a_o legal_a spirit_n yet_o none_o but_o those_o that_o be_v so_o addict_v can_v have_v make_v such_o a_o perverse_a and_o destructive_a use_n of_o it_o or_o if_o it_o have_v be_v unavoidable_o i_o say_v make_v the_o supposition_n that_o it_o have_v be_v unavoidable_o such_o a_o dangerous_a snare_n to_o the_o jew_n who_o have_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n give_v they_o from_o mount_n sinai_n yet_o the_o gentile_a galatian_n have_v not_o such_o a_o temptation_n to_o receive_v it_o with_o that_o veneration_n that_o the_o jew_n have_v and_o have_v receive_v the_o gospel_n before_o and_o still_o retain_v the_o profession_n of_o it_o may_v have_v be_v well_o antidote_v against_o the_o danger_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o they_o receive_v it_o sudden_o in_o this_o noxious_a and_o mischievous_a use_n of_o it_o and_o for_o what_o reason_n can_v we_o imagine_v all_o this_o to_o have_v come_v to_o pass_v but_o because_o they_o be_v natural_o dispose_v and_o exceed_v apt_a to_o catch_v at_o any_o occasion_n of_o serve_v god_n as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o according_a to_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n 5th_o i_o say_v therefore_o that_o though_o we_o have_v not_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o prove_v a_o snare_n to_o we_o yet_o we_o have_v this_o radicate_v inclination_n to_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n which_o betray_v the_o jew_n and_o galatian_n by_o occasion_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n into_o the_o prosecution_n of_o justification_n by_o work_n and_o this_o i_o think_v be_v former_o evince_v from_o the_o example_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o galatian_n as_o by_o a_o induction_n six_o as_o for_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n perhaps_o it_o will_v be_v grant_v that_o if_o we_o have_v such_o reason_n to_o receive_v it_o as_o the_o jew_n have_v before_o christ_n when_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o observe_v it_o or_o but_o such_o a_o seem_a reason_n as_o the_o galatian_n after_o their_o seduction_n think_v they_o have_v perhaps_o it_o will_v be_v grant_v that_o if_o the_o case_n be_v so_o with_o we_o as_o it_o be_v with_o either_o of_o they_o that_o then_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o great_a danger_n to_o do_v as_o they_o do_v and_o to_o vent_v that_o natural_a legality_n or_o addictedness_n to_o the_o way_n of_o work_n which_o have_v be_v evince_v to_o be_v in_o all_o man_n in_o ceremonial_a observance_n now_o let_v but_o so_o much_o be_v grant_v and_o then_o i_o have_v this_o to_o offer_v that_o though_o we_o be_v free_a from_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n of_o the_o jew_n &_o know_v it_o abrogate_a by_o christ_n death_n yet_o we_o may_v still_o have_v a_o like_a danger_n though_o not_o the_o same_o nay_o the_o christian_a church_n have_v for_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n i_o shall_v not_o meddle_v with_o the_o present_a state_n of_o thing_n i_o say_v the_o christian_a church_n have_v for_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n together_o former_o be_v under_o as_o great_a a_o danger_n from_o ceremony_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v in_o from_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o for_o proof_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v only_o quote_v some_o passage_n out_o of_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n under_o the_o title_n of_o ceremony_n why_o some_o be_v abolish_v and_o some_o retain_v where_o you_o have_v these_o beside_o other_o expression_n some_o ceremony_n be_v put_v away_o because_o the_o great_a excess_n and_o multitude_n of_o they_o have_v so_o increase_v in_o these_o late_a day_n that_o the_o burden_n of_o they_o be_v intolerable_a whereof_o st._n austin_n in_o his_o time_n complain_v that_o they_o be_v grow_v to_o such_o a_o number_n that_o the_o estate_n of_o christian_a people_n be_v in_o worse_a case_n concern_v that_o matter_n than_o be_v the_o jew_n and_o he_o counsel_v that_o such_o yoke_n and_o burden_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o as_o time_n will_v serve_v quiet_o to_o do_v it_o but_o what_o will_v st._n austin_n have_v say_v if_o he_o have_v see_v the_o ceremony_n of_o late_a day_n use_v among_o we_o whereunto_o the_o multitude_n use_v in_o his_o time_n be_v not_o to_o be_v compare_v this_o our_o excessive_a multitude_n of_o ceremony_n be_v so_o great_a and_o many_o of_o they_o so_o dark_a that_o they_o do_v more_o confound_v and_o darken_v then_o declare_v and_o set_v forth_o christ_n benefit_n unto_o we_o there_o be_v other_o considerable_a passage_n concern_v ceremony_n in_o that_o preface_n but_o this_o that_o i_o have_v transcribe_v serve_v sufficient_o for_o my_o purpose_n and_o i_o suppose_v full_o take_v off_o the_o objection_n that_o since_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v down_o christian_n can_v be_v in_o the_o same_o danger_n that_o the_o jew_n &_o galatian_n be_v from_o ceremony_n i_o have_v yet_o one_o more_o particular_a to_o add_v by_o way_n of_o answer_n to_o the_o objection_n and_o it_o be_v this_o in_o the_o seven_o place_n that_o i_o very_o believe_v though_o the_o jew_n have_v have_v no_o such_o law_n give_v they_o nor_o the_o gentile-galatians_n such_o a_o law_n preach_v among_o they_o by_o the_o jew_n nor_o have_v any_o such_o ceremony_n ever_o be_v set_v up_o in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o quotation_n speak_v of_o yet_o both_o the_o jew_n and_o galatian_n and_o we_o all_o have_v such_o a_o inclination_n to_o such_o a_o earnest_a desire_n after_o the_o way_n of_o work_n that_o without_o a_o strict_a hand_n over_o ourselves_o from_o give_v way_n to_o this_o natural_a disposition_n we_o shall_v be_v all_o exceed_a apt_a to_o find_v out_o some_o way_n or_o other_o of_o vent_v this_o humour_n either_o by_o invent_v ceremony_n and_o superisttion_n or_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n superficial_o and_o yet_o rest_v upon_o they_o for_o our_o justification_n as_o for_o duty_n or_o good_a work_n that_o be_v true_o good_a though_o they_o may_v be_v abuse_v after_o their_o performance_n by_o a_o spiritual_a pride_n adhere_v to_o they_o nay_o though_o they_o may_v perhaps_o be_v spoil_v sometime_o by_o a_o opinion_n of_o merit_n yet_o because_o i_o can_v think_v it_o possible_a for_o a_o man_n that_o do_v exercise_v himself_o to_o serve_v god_n with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n to_o turn_v all_o his_o really-good_a work_n into_o legal-works_a by_o a_o opinion_n of_o merit_n i_o shall_v except_v this_o from_o be_v a_o three_o way_n in_o which_o legality_n predominant_a may_v exert_v and_o show_v itself_o but_o for_o the_o other_o two_o way_n of_o invent_a ceremony_n or_o superstitiu●s_a observance_n and_o a_o external_a obedience_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n i_o think_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v so_o addict_v to_o the_o way_n of_o work_n that_o though_o there_o be_v no_o ceremonial_a law_n among_o we_o at_o present_a either_o from_o god_n or_o man_n yet_o man_n will_v general_o find_v out_o one_o or_o
