the_o scripture_n of_o god_n be_v it_o agree_v that_o these_o book_n be_v alone_o in_o account_n of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v

therefore_o what_o be_v the_o drift_n of_o this_o place_n it_o show_v two_o way_n wherein_o happiness_n be_v recover_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o faith_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o that_o way_n whereby_o we_o can_v receive_v the_o happiness_n we_o have_v lose_v how_o be_v that_o show_v for_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n whereby_o abraham_n be_v justify_v be_v 430._o year_n before_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o law_n which_o come_v after_o can_v make_v void_a the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o it_o shall_v do_v if_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o justification_n by_o work_n of_o the_o law_n do_v not_o make_v void_v the_o promise_n of_o grace_n when_o as_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o handle_v as_o salvation_n come_v in_o part_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n yes_o very_o it_o be_v make_v void_a for_o if_o salvation_n be_v before_o the_o law_n be_v only_o by_o grace_n and_o now_o shall_v be_v by_o work_n and_o grace_n than_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n only_o shall_v be_v make_v void_a and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 18._o verse_n do_v show_v that_o if_o it_o be_v of_o the_o law_n it_o can_v be_v by_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n then_o it_o shall_v seem_v there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o the_o law_n see_v it_o do_v not_o justify_v we_o in_o all_o nor_o in_o part_n not_o so_o for_o it_o be_v give_v to_o show_v and_o discover_v sin_n yea_o through_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n to_o increase_v sin_n so_o far_o be_v it_o from_o take_v away_o sin_n how_o be_v that_o show_v by_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o give_v which_o be_v with_o such_o terror_n of_o thunder_n lightning_n and_o smoke_n and_o fearful_a sound_n of_o the_o trumpet_n as_o the_o people_n can_v not_o abide_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n but_o be_v fain_o to_o desire_v that_o they_o may_v not_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n but_o that_o moses_n may_v be_v a_o mediator_n to_o receive_v it_o at_o god_n hand_n and_o they_o at_o he_o what_o observe_v you_o from_o that_o that_o the_o law_n be_v terrible_a unto_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n
and_o drive_v we_o to_o seek_v for_o a_o mediator_n which_o be_v christ_n alone_o figure_v in_o the_o mediation_n of_o moses_n if_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n take_v away_o sin_n and_o the_o law_n increase_v sin_n if_o it_o take_v away_o the_o conscience_n of_o sin_n and_o this_o do_v cause_n a_o conscience_n and_o remorse_n of_o sin_n it_o seem_v that_o the_o law_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n not_o a_o whit_n for_o the_o law_n will_v also_o take_v away_o sin_n and_o the_o conscience_n of_o sin_n if_o any_o man_n be_v able_a perfect_o to_o perform_v it_o so_o that_o the_o law_n cause_v no_o sin_n of_o itself_o but_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o corruption_n and_o be_v a_o furtherance_n to_o the_o salvation_n that_o be_v by_o grace_n tell_v we_o then_o how_o the_o law_n serve_v to_o the_o help_v forward_o to_o the_o justification_n which_o be_v by_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n the_o law_n shut_v all_o man_n and_o all_o that_o be_v of_o man_n under_o sin_n not_o to_o this_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v perish_v but_o contrariwise_o that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v that_o believe_v make_v that_o more_o plain_a the_o apostle_n compare_v the_o law_n to_o a_o justice_n of_o peace_n or_o a_o sergeant_n which_o arrest_v such_o as_o transgress_v against_o it_o and_o lay_v they_o in_o prison_n not_o that_o they_o shall_v perish_v with_o hunger_n cold_a or_o stinch_v of_o the_o prison_n but_o that_o when_o they_o feel_v their_o misery_n and_o that_o of_o themselves_o and_o their_o work_n they_o can_v get_v out_o of_o it_o they_o shall_v fly_v to_o the_o free_a pardon_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n but_o to_o help_v towards_o the_o obtain_n of_o it_o how_o be_v this_o further_o clear_v the_o apostle_n compare_v the_o law_n to_o a_o garrison_n which_o be_v set_v in_o a_o town_n to_o keep_v man_n in_o servitude_n which_o have_v not_o subiect_o mind_n to_o their_o prince_n to_o the_o end_n that_o come_v to_o a_o just_a and_o dutiful_a obedience_n they_o may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o terror_n and_o servitude_n of_o the_o garrison_n how_o else_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o tutor_n or_o guardian_n which_o keep_v the_o child_n under_o age_n straight_o whereby_o he_o have_v a_o delight_n to_o come_v out_o of_o his_o nonage_n and_o to_o enjoy_v the_o
