A41355	The marrow of modern divinity touching both the covenant of works, and the covenant of grace, with their use and end, both in the time of the Old Testament, and in the time of the New : wherein every one may cleerly see how far forth he bringeth the law into the case of justification, and so deserverh the name of legalist : and how far forth he rejecteth the law, in the case of sanctification, and so deserveth the name of Antinomist : with the middle path between them both, which by Iesus Christ leadeth to eternall life : in a dialogue, betwixt Evangelista, a minister of the Gospel, Nomista, a legalist, Antinomista, an Antinomian, and Neophytus, a young Christian / by the author, E.F. ; before the which there is prefixed the commendatory epistles of divers divines of great esteem in the citie of London ; whereunto is also added, the substance of a	Fisher, Edward, fl. 1627-1655.; Hamilton, Patrick, 1504?-1528.

before_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o do_v they_o not_o impute_v it_o to_o themselves_o because_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nay_o in_o that_o long_a course_n of_o

that_o will_v plead_v interest_n in_o it_o yet_o these_o people_n at_o this_o time_n be_v proud_a and_o secure_a and_o heedless_a of_o their_o estate_n and_o though_o sin_n be_v in_o they_o and_o

that_o adam_n offence_n 2d_o and_o their_o own_o actual_a transgression_n may_v abound_v so_o that_o now_o the_o lord_n see_v it_o needful_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o new_a edition_n and_o

to_o the_o elect_a believer_n may_v appear_v the_o more_o exceed_o gracious_a so_o that_o you_o see_v the_o lord_n intention_n therein_o be_v that_o they_o by_o look_v upon_o this_o covenant_n may_v be_v put_v in_o mind_n what_o be_v their_o duty_n of_o old_a when_o they_o be_v in_o adam_n loin_n 155._o yea_o and_o what_o be_v their_o duty_n still_o if_o they_o will_v stand_v to_o that_o

the_o covenant_n of_o work_n with_o they_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o they_o shall_v obtain_v eternal_a life_n by_o their_o yield_a obedience_n to_o it_o evan._n 158._o no_o indeed_o god_n never_o

of_o both_o covenant_n only_o they_o differ_v in_o the_o form_n ant._n t●●n_a sir_n it_o seem_v that_o the_o promise_n and_o threaten_n contain_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v but_o temporary_a and_o terrestrial_a only_o concern_v the_o good_a and_o evil_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n evan._n this_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o like_o as_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o prophet_n give_v the_o people_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n many_o exhortation_n to_o be_v obedient_a to_o his_o commandment_n and_o many_o dehortation_n from_o disobedience_n thereunto_o even_o so_o do_v he_o back_o they_o with_o many_o promise_n and_o threaten_n concern_v thing_n temporal_a as_o these_o and_o the_o like_a scripture_n do_v witness_v isa._n 1.10_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o

the_o lord_n god_n behold_v my_o anger_n and_o my_o fury_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o this_o place_n 20._o and_o sure_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n do_v so_o first_o because_o as_o all_o man_n be_v bear_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work●_n they_o be_v natural_o prone_a to_o conceive_v that_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o all_o good_a thing_n do_v depend_v and_o follow_v upon_o their_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o all_o evil_a thing_n do_v depend_v upon_o and_o follow_v their_o disobedience_n to_o it_o and_o that_o man_n chief_a happiness_n be_v to_o be_v have_v and_o find_v in_o terrestrial_a paradise_n even_o in_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n so_o the_o people_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v near_o to_o adam_n covenant_n and_o paradise_n be_v most_o prone_a to_o such_o conceit_n and_o second_o because_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o celestial_a paradise_n be_v but_o little_o mention_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o for_o the_o most_o part_n have_v but_o a_o glimmer_a knowledge_n of_o they_o and_o so_o can_v not_o yield_v obedience_n free_o as_o son_n therefore_o the_o lord_n see_v it_o meet_v to_o move_v they_o to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o his_o law_n by_o their_o own_o motive_n and_o as_o servant_n or_o child_n under_o age_n ant._n and_o be_v both_o

to_o have_v the_o calamity_n of_o this_o life_n inflict_v upon_o they_o for_o their_o disobedience_n as_o the_o blessing_n of_o this_o life_n confer_v upon_o they_o for_o their_o obedience_n evan._n sure_o the_o word_n of_o the_o preacher_n do_v take_v place_n here_o when_o he_o say_v 9.2_o all_o thing_n come_v alike_o to_o all_o there_o be_v one_o event_n to_o the_o righteous_a and_o to_o the_o

his_o disobedience_n to_o god_n command_n slay_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o megiddo_n therefore_o assure_v yourself_o 16.46_o that_o when_o believer_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v transgress_v god_n commandment_n god_n temporal_a wrath_n go_v out_o against_o they_o and_o be_v manifest_a in_o temporal_a calamity_n that_o befall_v they_o as_o well_o as_o other_o only_o here_o be_v the_o

to_o god_n commandment_n be_v for_o fear_n of_o temporal_a punishment_n and_o in_o hope_n of_o temporal_a reward_n evan._n sure_o the_o scripture_n seem_v to_o hol●_n forth_o that_o there_o be_v three_o several_a sort_n of_o people_n who_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o they_o do_v all_o of_o they_o differ_v in_o their_o end_n the_o first_o sort_n of_o they_o be_v true_a
