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.

believe_v whereas_o some_o think_v it_o as_o hard_o a_o business_n to_o believe_v as_o to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n 2._o they_o will_v say_v that_o i_o make_v the_o gospel_n but_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n in_o a_o new_a dress_n and_o substitute_n evangelical_n obedience_n in_o the_o room_n of_o legal_a as_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o justification_n 3._o they_o may_v perhaps_o add_v that_o i_o leave_v out_o the_o great_a gospel-mysterie_n which_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n be_v contain_v in_o deut._n and_o that_o be_v christ_n that_o which_o moses_n express_v thus_o the_o commandment_n which_o i_o command_v thou_o be_v not_o in_o heaven_n that_o thou_o shall_v say_v who_o shall_v ascend_v for_o we_o into_o heaven_n &_o bring_v it_o unto_o we_o that_o we_o may_v hear_v it_o and_o do_v it_o the_o apostle_n paul_n express_v thus_o who_o shall_v ascend_v for_o we_o into_o heaven_n that_o be_v to_o bring_v christ_n down_o from_o above_o or_o who_o shall_v descend_v into_o the_o deep_a that_o be_v to_o bring_v up_o christ_n again_o from_o the_o dead_a but_o what_o say_v it_o the_o word_n be_v nigh_o thou_o even_o in_o thy_o mouth_n and_o in_o thy_o heart_n and_o leave_v out_o that_o thou_o may_v do_v it_o he_o add_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o we_o preach_v that_o if_o thou_o shall_v confess_v with_o thy_o mouth_n the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o shall_v believe_v in_o thy_o heart_n that_o god_n have_v raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a thou_o shall_v be_v save_v here_o we_o see_v the_o apostle_n sind_v christ_n in_o all_o that_o speech_n of_o moses_n and_o it_o be_v faith_n on_o he_o that_o justify_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o keep_n of_o the_o law_n according_a to_o sincerity_n instead_o of_o unerring_a obedience_n which_o moses_n mean_v and_o so_o the_o exposition_n give_v of_o moses_n be_v useless_a now_o i_o shall_v answer_v first_o this_o last_o objection_n against_o the_o interpretation_n of_o moses_n his_o covenant_n of_o

last_o objection_n first_o answer_v 1._o i_o do_v believe_v all_o this_o which_o the_o apostle_n add_v by_o way_n of_o paraphrase_n to_o agree_v well_o with_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n 2._o that_o yet_o i_o can_v believe_v that_o any_o ordinary_a saint_n or_o any_o other_o than_o some_o mighty_o inspire_v by_o god_n like_o a_o apostle_n can_v have_v understand_v all_o that_o in_o moses_n his_o word_n when_o they_o be_v first_o deliver_v viz._n that_o christ_n shall_v descend_v into_o the_o deep_a and_o after_o that_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n because_o moses_n say_v say_v not_o in_o thy_o heart_n who_o shall_v ascend_v for_o we_o into_o heaven_n and_o bring_v the_o word_n from_o thence_o that_o we_o may_v hear_v it_o and_o do_v it_o or_o because_o moses_n say_v who_o shall_v go_v for_o we_o beyond_o the_o sea_n and_o bring_v the_o word_n unto_o we_o neither_o can_v i_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n in_o moses_n time_n to_o confess_v with_o their_o mouth_n the_o lord_n jesus_n or_o to_o believe_v in_o their_o heart_n that_o god_n have_v raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a a_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o at_o that_o time_n true_a i_o say_v i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o believe_v it_o because_o to_o we_o it_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o word_n of_o faith_n to_o wit_n the_o gospel_n which_o the_o apostle_n preach_v neither_o do_v i_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a duty_n of_o that_o time_n so_o much_o as_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v raise_v christ_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n for_o all_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n flesh_n be_v ignorant_a of_o this_o mystery_n yea_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o or_o understand_v it_o after_o christ_n have_v tell_v they_o of_o it_o as_o be_v very_a plein_fw-fr in_o luke_n 18._o from_o 31._o to_o 35._o the_o recite_v the_o word_n of_o that_o text_n be_v plain_a proof_n enough_o without_o urge_v they_o by_o force_n of_o argument_n 31._o then_o he_o take_v unto_o he_o the_o twelve_o and_o say_v unto_o they_o behold_v we_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n and_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v write_v by_o the_o prophet_n concern_v the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v accomplish_v ver._n 33._o they_o shall_v scourge_v he_o and_o put_v he_o to_o death_n and_o the_o three_o day_n he_o shall_v rise_v again_o now_o it_o be_v say_v for_o 34._o that_o they_o understand_v none_o of_o these_o thing_n and_o this_o say_n be_v hide_v from_o they_o neither_o know_v they_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v therefore_o certain_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v and_o believe_v in_o moses_n his_o time_n and_o therefore_o though_o there_o be_v so_o much_o gospel_n contain_v in_o that_o text_n of_o deut._n to_o we_o now_o that_o the_o apostle_n have_v discover_v it_o unless_o we_o will_v say_v they_o be_v additional_a gloss_n upon_o that_o text_n of_o moses_n which_o perhaps_o may_v prove_v no_o false_a divinity_n i_o say_v permit_v all_o that_o be_v contain_v to_o we_o in_o that_o text_n of_o deut._n which_o st._n paul_n have_v discover_v in_o it_o yet_o by_o they_o under_o the_o old-testament_n as_o i_o think_v there_o can_v be_v no_o more_o understand_v than_o this_o that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o lay_v it_o upon_o themselves_o as_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o so_o unto_o justification_n to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n in_o the_o strictness_n of_o it_o but_o that_o they_o be_v to_o mind_v the_o keep_n of_o it_o from_o their_o heart_n to_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n their_o god_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o their_o soul_n and_o so_o to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o his_o statute_n which_o be_v write_v in_o this_o book_n of_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v ver_fw-la 10._o immediate_o precede_v those_o verse_n in_o deut._n 30._o where_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o be_v describe_v and_o this_o to_o do_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n sincere_o they_o shall_v find_v easy_a and_o pleasant_a whenas_o for_o a_o strict_a covenant_n of_o work_n do_v this_o and_o thou_o shall_v live_v they_o will_v find_v it_o a_o unsupportable_a yoke_n and_o burden_n now_o i_o come_v to_o answer_v those_o other_o two_o objection_n against_o my_o interpretation_n answer_v the_o first_o answer_v the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o i_o make_v faith_n too_o easy_a the_n in_o comparison_n of_o keep_v the_o law_n whereas_o many_o good_a man_n judge_v it_o a_o hard_a to_o believe_v as_o to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n i_o answer_v 1._o that_o indeed_o i_o do_v think_v the_o way_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v a_o easy_a way_n in_o itself_o then_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n for_o i_o ask_v any_o sober_a man_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o keep_v the_o law_n in_o a_o sincere_a manner_n that_o be_v to_o guide_v my_o action_n only_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o and_o honest_o to_o endeavour_v toconform_v to_o it_o though_o in_o some_o thing_n i_o fail_v if_o this_o be_v not_o easy_o than_o the_o exact_a keep_v the_o law_n to_o a_o tittle_n the_o question_n i_o suppose_v be_v answer_v as_o soon_o as_o make_v why_o then_o i_o say_v i_o look_v upon_o the_o way_n of_o believe_v to_o be_v this_o corning_n to_o god_n humble_v myself_o for_o my_o sin_n addict_v myself_o to_o his_o service_n and_o walk_v faithful_o with_o he_o 〈…〉_o the_o description_n 〈…〉_o and_o in_o this_o way_n of_o well_o do_v seek_v for_o glory_n honour_n and_o immortality_n in_o one_o word_n it_o be_v a_o honesty_n to_o god_n upon_o term_n of_o grace_n and_o i_o be_v honest_a and_o true_a to_o he_o doubt_v not_o of_o his_o faithfulness_n to_o i_o for_o pardon_v my_o sin_n and_o provide_v for_o i_o here_o and_o save_v i_o here_o after_o erge_n if_o this_o be_v faith_n for_o proof_n of_o which_o i_o refer_v to_o my_o interpretation_n and_o require_v a_o better_a or_o fair_a in_o confutation_n of_o it_o i_o say_v if_o this_o be_v faith_n than_o the_o way_n of_o faith_n be_v easy_a than_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n 2._o but_o yet_o i_o have_v not_o say_v that_o though_o it_o be_v easy_a yet_o it_o be_v in_o a_o man_n own_o power_n to_o believe_v it_o be_v not_o i●_n a_o man_n be_v own_o power_n to_o move_v a_o finger_n without_o god_n and_o it_o be_v equal_o impossible_a without_o god_n to_o move_v a_o singer_n and_o to_o remove_v a_o mountain_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o his_o right_a

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 covenant_n of_o work_n now_o for_o this_o objection_n i_o confess_v it_o have_v some_o weight_n in_o it_o though_o for_o those_o that_o make_v it_o they_o be_v usual_o soar_v in_o high_a notion_n 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 the_o singer_n of_o god_n himself_o be_v ordain_v by_o god_n to_o be_v put_v in_o the_o ark_n and_o the_o ark_n to_o be_v put_v under_o the_o mercy-seat_n and_o cherubim_v to_o cover_v the_o mercy-seat_n and_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n eminent_o promise_v to_o be_v find_v between_o those_o cherubin_n exod_a 25.21_o 22._o thou_o shall_v put_v the_o mercy-seat_n above_o upon_o the_o ark_n and_o in_o the_o ark_n thou_o shall_v put_v the_o testimony_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v thou_o and_o there_o i_o will_v meet_v with_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v commune_v with_o thou_o from_o above_o

law_n be_v hide_v in_o the_o ark_n which_o alone_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o instrument_n of_o salvation_n and_o this_o ark_n place_v under_o the_o mercy-seat_n the_o greek_a word_n for_o which_o be_v

objection_n which_o may_v be_v make_v on_o behalf_n of_o the_o gentile_n against_o justification_n by_o faith_n and_o for_o justification_n by_o the_o law_n and_o it_o be_v this_o you_o have_v say_v 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 gentile_n have_v the_o law_n or_o the_o effect_n and_o substance_n of_o it_o write_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o we_o read_v not_o of_o any_o promise_n that_o they_o have_v therefore_o either_o they_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 condition_n till_o christ_n be_v explicit_o and_o plain_o preach_v to_o they_o and_o for_o those_o that_o be_v not_o of_o it_o they_o will_v meet_v with_o no_o difficulty_n in_o this_o objection_n for_o if_o the_o heathen_n can_v not_o be_v justify_v at_o all_o it_o cease_v the_o enquiry_n which_o way_n they_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v 2._o some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o god_n never_o make_v any_o creature_n under_o a_o utter_a impossibility_n of_o please_v he_o and_o be_v make_v happy_a by_o he_o 3._o therefore_o in_o a_o consonancy_n to_o my_o precede_a discourse_n i_o say_v if_o it_o can_v be_v make_v appear_v that_o the_o heathen_n without_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o scripture_n ture_n of_o the_o old-testament_n can_v not_o discover_v so_o much_o of_o the_o goodness_n grace_n mercy_n and_o love_n of_o god_n to_o mankind_n as_o upon_o which_o to_o ground_v a_o lively_a hope_n a_o unfeigned_a and_o operative_a faith_n that_o god_n be_v ready_a upon_o their_o repentance_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n to_o forgive_v their_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o they_o the_o second_o opinion_n be_v to_o be_v avoid_v and_o the_o first_o receive_v for_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o if_o the_o heathen_n be_v any_o of_o they_o save_v or_o in_o a_o possibility_n to_o be_v save_v and_o justify_v it_o must_v be_v by_o their_o treat_v of_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o believe_v for_o that_o the_o law_n be_v render_v utter_o weak_a and_o unable_a to_o ●ustifie_v so_o much_o as_o one_o sinner_n now_o because_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o convenient_a in_o this_o place_n to_o engage_v in_o that_o controversy_n whether_o or_o no_o the_o gentile_n be_v in_o a_o salvable_a condition_n i_o shall_v neither_o produce_v the_o scripture_n which_o seem_v

have_v no_o such_o light_n now_o to_o conclude_v this_o first_o part_n have_v prove_v it_o ex_fw-la hypothesi_fw-la on_o the_o gentile_n part_n that_o if_o any_o of_o they_o be_v save_v it_o must_v be_v by_o faith_n and_o absolute_o as_o to_o the_o jew_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o objection_n to_o the_o contrary_a that_o they_o be_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o that_o the_o law_n
