three_o particular_n 1._o the_o law_n reject_v any_o kind_n of_o obedience_n beside_o that_o which_o be_v through_o sound_a full_a and_o perfect_a without_o any_o touch_n of_o the_o flesh_n it_o reject_v all_o crack_a payment_n it_o will_v take_v no_o clip_a coin_n that_o obedience_n which_o have_v any_o imperfection_n join_v with_o it_o will_v not_o be_v accept_v but_o here_o i_o must_v not_o speak_v without_o book_n see_v rom._n 7.14_o we_o know_v that_o the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a but_o i_o be_o carnal_a and_o then_o conclude_v o_o wretched_a man_n etc._n etc._n the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a what_o be_v that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o by_o the_o particle_n but_o but_o i_o be_o carnal_a the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a that_o be_v it_o require_v that_o all_o our_o work_n be_v spiritual_a without_o any_o carnality_n or_o touch_v of_o the_o fl●sh_n if_o in_o any_o point_n of_o our_o obedience_n there_o be_v a_o smell_n of_o the_o cask_n it_o be_v reject_v if_o the_o beer_n be_v never_o so_o good_a yet_o if_o it_o have_v a_o evil_a smatch_n it_o will_v not_o relish_v let_v our_o service_n have_v this_o savour_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o they_o will_v not_o relish_v in_o god_n nostril_n and_o thus_o the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a but_o we_o be_v carnal_a now_o it_o be_v otherwise_o here_o in_o the_o state_n of_o the_o gospel_n alas_o we_o be_v carnal_a it_o be_v true_a the_o apostle_n himself_o complain_v that_o there_o be_v a_o law_n in_o his_o member_n rebel_a against_o the_o law_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o lead_v he_o captive_a etc._n etc._n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o gospel_n accept_v our_o obedience_n though_o the_o law_n will_v not_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o why_o it_o be_v plain_a when_o the_o law_n come_v it_o look_v for_o justice_n it_o put_v a_o strict_a rule_n to_o we_o it_o require_v we_o shall_v be_v complete_a but_o now_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o so_o it_o require_v not_o justification_n of_o our_o own_o but_o look_v that_o be_v justify_v by_o god_n free_a grace_n we_o shall_v

show_v forth_o our_o thankfulness_n and_o express_v that_o we_o be_v so_o in_o heart_n by_o our_o obedience_n to_o our_o utmost_a power_n here_o be_v all_o the_o strictness_n of_o the_o gospel_n if_o there_o be_v a_o willing_a mind_n it_o be_v accept_v according_a to_o that_o a_o man_n have_v and_o not_o according_a to_o what_o a_o man_n have_v not_o 2_o cor._n 8.12_o god_n take_v well_o the_o desire_n of_o our_o mind_n this_o be_v then_o our_o bless_a condition_n under_o the_o gospel_n it_o require_v not_o perfect_a obedience_n but_o thankfulness_n for_o mercy_n receive_v and_o a_o willing_a mind_n suppose_v we_o can_v do_v what_o we_o will_v that_o be_v no_o matter_n god_n look_v to_o our_o affection_n and_o the_o willingness_n of_o our_o mind_n if_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o strength_n that_o thou_o have_v it_o be_v receive_v with_o acceptance_n here_o then_o arise_v the_o second_o point_n of_o difference_n and_o that_o be_v 2._o the_o law_n consider_v not_o what_o thou_o now_o have_v but_o what_o thou_o once_o have_v if_o thou_o say_v i_o have_v do_v my_o best_a and_o what_o will_v you_o have_v a_o man_n do_v more_o than_o he_o can_v do_v the_o law_n heed_v not_o that_o it_o consider_v not_o what_o thou_o do_v but_o what_o thou_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o require_v that_o thou_o shall_v perform_v obedience_n according_a to_o thy_o first_o strength_n and_o that_o perfection_n once_o god_n give_v thou_o that_o all_o thou_o do_v shall_v have_v love_n for_o its_o ground_n that_o thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n mind_n heart_n and_o strength_n here_o the_o law_n be_v very_o imperious_a like_o those_o taskmaster_n in_o egypt_n that_o lay_v burden_n on_o the_o israelite_n too_o heavy_a for_o they_o to_o bear_v they_o have_v at_o first_o material_n and_o then_o they_o deliver_v in_o the_o full_a tale_n of_o brick_n but_o when_o the_o straw_n be_v take_v from_o they_o they_o complain_v of_o the_o heaviness_n of_o their_o burden_n but_o what_o be_v the_o answer_n you_o be_v idle_a you_o be_v idle_a you_o shall_v deliver_v the_o same_o tale_n of_o brick_n as_o before_o so_o stand_v the_o case_n here_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o plead_v alas_o if_o i_o have_v strength_n i_o will_v do_v it_o but_o i_o have_v not_o strength_n i_o can_v do_v it_o but_o the_o law_n be_v peremptory_a you_o must_v do_v it_o you_o be_v compel_v by_o force_n you_o shall_v do_v it_o the_o impossibility_n of_o our_o fulfil_n it_o do_v not_o exempt_v we_o as_o appear_v by_o compare_v rom._n 8.3_o with_o rom._n 7.6_o although_o it_o be_v impossible_a as_o the_o case_n stand_v for_o the_o law_n to_o be_v by_o we_o fulfil_v yet_o we_o be_v hold_v under_o it_o as_o appear_v plain_o thus_o if_o i_o deliver_v a_o man_n a_o stock_n of_o money_n whereby_o he_o may_v gain_v his_o own_o live_n and_o be_v advantageous_a to_o i_o and_o he_o spend_v it_o and_o when_o i_o require_v my_o own_o with_o increase_n he_o tell_v
