be_v because_o the_o gospel_n consist_v most_o in_o promise_n though_o it_o be_v not_o without_o but_o partly_o consist_v in_o precept_n also_o this_o i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o apology_n that_o there_o be_v not_o only_o promise_v in_o the_o gospel_n to_o those_o who_o observe_v its_o precept_n but_o that_o there_o be_v in_o it_o promise_v of_o grace_n to_o his_o people_n to_o fit_v they_o for_o and_o to_o assist_v they_o in_o the_o observance_n of_o its_o precept_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v fit_o call_v not_o simple_o a_o law_n but_o a_o law_n of_o grace_n so_o i_o call_v it_o and_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v and_o so_o it_o be_v call_v and_o believe_v to_o be_v by_o other_o orthodox_n divine_v before_o i_o be_v bear_v but_o though_o i_o believe_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v a_o law_n of_o grace_n that_o require_v duty_n to_o be_v perform_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o accept_v through_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n yet_o i_o never_o say_v nor_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v a_o law_n which_o require_v duty_n by_o and_o for_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v so_o far_o be_o i_o from_o say_v or_o believe_v any_o such_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v publish_v the_o contrary_a to_o the_o world_n in_o several_a part_n of_o the_o apology_n and_o particular_o in_o page_n 38_o 39_o 40.54_o indeed_o it_o be_v my_o profess_a belief_n that_o faith_n itself_o be_v not_o any_o the_o least_o part_n of_o that_o righteousness_n by_o and_o for_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n 2._o the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v careful_o attend_v unto_o be_v that_o by_o the_o gospel_n or_o law_n of_o grace_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n make_v with_o the_o church_n through_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v record_v in_o the_o scripture_n both_o of_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n 3._o the_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v attend_v unto_o be_v that_o i_o always_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o first_o commandment_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n oblige_v to_o believe_v all_o the_o supernatural_a revelation_n and_o obey_v all_o the_o positive_a precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n from_o which_o principle_n it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o follow_v that_o the_o gospel_n have_v no_o precept_n of_o its_o own_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o plain_o follow_v that_o it_o have_v precept_n of_o its_o own_o otherwise_o the_o moral_a natural_a law_n will_v never_o oblige_v we_o to_o obey_v they_o 4._o the_o four_o thing_n to_o be_v attend_v unto_o be_v that_o since_o the_o gospel_n or_o covenant_n and_o law_n of_o grace_n have_v precept_n of_o its_o own_o those_o precept_n must_v of_o themselves_o immediate_o oblige_v we_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o certain_a duty_n and_o by_o mean_n of_o they_o the_o natural_a moral_a law_n oblige_v we_o to_o the_o same_o duty_n though_o not_o to_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o duty_n but_o in_o order_n to_o other_o gospel_n end_n and_o purpose_n if_o these_o four_o thing_n be_v careful_o attend_v unto_o they_o will_v preserve_v people_n through_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n from_o be_v impose_v upon_o by_o the_o false_a representation_n which_o mr._n g._n give_v of_o our_o doctrine_n which_o wrong_v i_o free_o forgive_v he_o and_o hearty_o pray_v god_n both_o to_o give_v he_o repentance_n and_o forgiveness_n 2._o the_o second_o and_o last_o thing_n i_o be_o here_o to_o do_v be_v to_o show_v my_o reverend_a brother_n some_o more_o of_o he_o mistake_v in_o this_o part_n of_o his_o seven_o chapter_n concern_v the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n 1._o and_o first_o whereas_o he_o say_v in_o page_n 44._o that_o the_o obedience_n of_o a_o believer_n be_v not_o call_v evangelical_n because_o it_o be_v obedience_n to_o the_o gospel_n but_o because_o of_o the_o principle_n of_o faith_n and_o love_n from_o which_o it_o flow_v and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o evangelical_n motive_n which_o animate_v and_o encourage_v it_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o mistake_n if_o he_o exclude_v the_o gospel_n covenant_n require_v such_o obedience_n from_o be_v one_o of_o the_o say_a motive_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o gospel_n require_v it_o in_o order_n to_o gospel-end_n and_o purpose_n be_v the_o principal_a reason_n wherefore_o we_o call_v it_o evangelical_n obedience_n for_o it_o be_v the_o gospel_n that_o of_o itself_o direct_o and_o immediate_o require_v we_o to_o obey_v the_o moral_a law_n in_o such_o a_o evangelical_n way_n to_o wit_n sincere_o with_o a_o renew_a heart_n from_o principle_n of_o faith_n in_o and_o love_n to_o christ_n the_o mediator_n and_o god_n as_o our_o redeemer_n and_o saviour_n by_o christ_n and_o further_o as_o the_o authority_n and_o veracity_n of_o god_n reveal_v truth_n to_o be_v believe_v be_v the_o formal_a reason_n of_o our_o faith_n which_o make_v and_o denominate_v it_o a_o divine_a faith_n so_o the_o authority_n and_o will_n of_o god_n command_v duty_n to_o be_v do_v be_v the_o formal_a reason_n of_o our_o obedience_n which_o give_v it_o the_o denomination_n of_o divine_a obedience_n or_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a of_o obedience_n to_o god_n in_o general_n that_o it_o be_v call_v a_o divine_a legal_a obedience_n because_o it_o be_v obedience_n to_o god_n authority_n and_o will_n command_v it_o by_o his_o law_n then_o by_o parity_n of_o reason_n it_o be_v true_a of_o that_o special_a sort_n of_o obedience_n to_o wit_n evangelical_n obedience_n that_o it_o be_v call_v evangelical_n because_o it_o be_v obedience_n to_o god_n authority_n and_o will_n command_v and_o require_v it_o by_o his_o gospel_n it_o be_v very_o strange_a if_o the_o formal_a reason_n of_o obedience_n do_v contribute_v nothing_o to_o the_o give_v it_o its_o name_n as_o well_o as_o its_o nature_n 2._o second_o whereas_o in_o page_n 45._o he_o say_v that_o in_o john_n 14.1_o christ_n himself_o tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o they_o shall_v act_v faith_n on_o he_o because_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o it_o by_o the_o same_o command_n which_o require_v they_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n this_o be_v another_o mistake_n and_o the_o mistake_n be_v the_o grosser_n for_o this_o reason_n because_o by_o this_o mistake_n mr._n g._n impose_v upon_o our_o saviour_n and_o make_v he_o to_o say_v that_o which_o he_o do_v not_o say_v nor_o be_v it_o employ_v in_o nor_o necessary_o consequent_a from_o his_o word_n our_o lord_n christ_n do_v not_o say_v believe_v in_o i_o because_o you_o be_v oblige_v to_o it_o by_o the_o same_o command_n which_o require_v you_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n this_o be_v mr._n g_n fancy_n or_o fiction_n which_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v father_v upon_o christ_n who_o say_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o john_n 14.1_o but_o only_o say_v there_o let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o or_o as_o the_o word_n may_v be_v render_v you_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o you_o believe_v in_o i_o now_o i_o appeal_v both_o to_o common_a sense_n and_o to_o common_a honesty_n and_o natural_a conscience_n whether_o to_o say_v you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o be_v all_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o to_o say_v you_o shall_v believe_v on_o i_o because_o you_o be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v on_o i_o by_o the_o same_o command_n and_o by_o no_o other_o which_o require_v you_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n for_o suppose_v the_o disciple_n have_v be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v in_o christ_n by_o another_o

his_o two_o quotation_n out_o of_o cyprian_a and_o augustin_n do_v not_o prove_v that_o by_o the_o word_n law_n they_o there_o mean_v no_o more_o than_o a_o doctrine_n in_o that_o sense_n for_o 1._o

3_o it_o be_v incumbent_n upon_o mr._n goodwin_n to_o prove_v that_o in_o augustin_n judgement_n or_o that_o in_o real_a truth_n the_o prophet_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o law_n precise_o
