from_o the_o 3._o v_o to_o the_o 9_o the_o the_o apostle_n relate_v this_o history_n heb._n 9_o wherein_o learned_a interpreter_n observe_v many_o difficulty_n but_o i_o shall_v not_o meddle_v with_o they_o in_o the_o word_n quote_v out_o of_o exodus_fw-la you_o see_v these_o thing_n which_o belong_v to_o a_o covenant_n first_o there_o be_v god_n himself_o express_v his_o consent_n and_o

moses_n write_v the_o precept_n down_o in_o a_o book_n four_o because_o covenant_n use_v to_o be_v confirm_v by_o some_o outward_a visible_a sign_n especial_o by_o kill_v of_o beast_n and_o offer_v they_o in_o sacrifice_n therefore_o we_o have_v this_o also_o do_v and_o half_a of_o the_o blood_n be_v sprinkle_v on_o the_o altar_n to_o denote_v god_n enter_v into_o covenant_n and_o the_o people_n also_o be_v sprinkle_v with_o blood_n to_o show_v their_o voluntary_a covenant_v thus_o we_o have_v real_a covenant_v when_o the_o law_n be_v give_v so_o also_o you_o may_v see_v this_o in_o effect_n deut._n 29._o 10_o 11_o 12_o 13._o where_o its_o express_o say_v that_o they_o stand_v to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n that_o he_o may_v establish_v they_o to_o be_v a_o people_n unto_o himself_o and_o that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o god_n unto_o they_o again_o you_o have_v this_o clear_o in_o deut._n 26._o 17_o 18._o where_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o have_v avouch_v the_o lord_n this_o

law_n be_v give_v as_o a_o covenant_n yea_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o a_o testament_n for_o howsoever_o some_o have_v dislike_v that_o distinction_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n especial_o as_o apply_v to_o the_o book_n &_o write_n of_o the_o holy_a penman_n of_o scripture_n think_v as_o austin_n they_o may_v be_v better_o call_v the_o old_a and_o new_a instrument_n because_o they_o be_v authentical_a and_o confirm_v by_o sufficient_a witness_n as_o tertullian_n call_v the_o bible_n nostra_fw-la digesta_fw-la from_o the_o lawyer_n and_o other_o call_v it_o our_o pandect_n from_o they_o also_o yet_o 1_o cor._n 3._o do_v warrant_v such_o a_o distinction_n only_o the_o question_n be_v how_o this_o covenant_n can_v be_v call_v proper_o a_o testament_n because_o christ_n die_v not_o twice_o and_o there_o can_v be_v a_o testament_n without_o the_o death_n of_o a_o testator_n but_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o typical_a death_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o that_o be_v ground_n enough_o to_o make_v the_o covenant_n to_o be_v mean_v call_v a_o testament_n have_v prove_v it_o be_v a_o covenant_n all_o the_o difficulty_n remain_v in_o declare_v what_o covenant_n it_o be_v for_o here_o be_v much_o difference_n of_o judgement_n even_o with_o the_o learned_a and_o orthodox_n and_o this_o do_v arise_v from_o the_o different_a place_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o although_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a one_o to_o another_o yet_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o understanding_n be_v many_o time_n overmaster_v by_o some_o place_n some_o as_o you_o have_v hear_v make_v it_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n other_o a_o mix_a covenant_n some_o a_o subservient_fw-fr covenant_n but_o i_o be_o persuade_v to_o go_v with_o those_o who_o hold_v it_o to_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o bring_v strong_a argument_n for_o the_o affirmative_a but_o then_o there_o will_v be_v some_o difficulty_n to_o answer_v such_o place_n as_o be_v bring_v for_o the_o negative_a and_o if_o the_o affirmative_a prove_v true_a the_o dignity_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o law_n will_v appear_v the_o more_o now_o before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o argument_n which_o induce_v i_o hereunto_o consider_v in_o what_o sense_n it_o explain_v may_v be_v explain_v that_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n some_o explain_v it_o thus_o that_o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n but_o the_o jew_n by_o their_o corrupt_a understanding_n make_v it_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o so_o oppose_v it_o unto_o christ_n and_o therefore_o say_v they_o the_o apostle_n argue_v against_o the_o law_n as_o make_v it_o to_o oppose_v the_o promise_n and_o grace_n not_o that_o it_o do_v so_o but_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o jew_n corrupt_a mind_n who_o make_v a_o opposition_n where_o there_o be_v none_o this_o have_v some_o truth_n in_o it_o but_o it_o be_v not_o full_a some_o make_v the_o law_n to_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n but_o very_o obscure_o and_o therefore_o they_o hold_v the_o gospel_n and_o the_o law_n to_o be_v the_o same_o differ_v only_o as_o the_o acorne_n while_o it_o be_v in_o the_o husk_n and_o the_o oak_n when_o it_o be_v branch_v out_o into_o a_o tall_a tree_n now_o if_o this_o shall_v be_v understand_v in_o a_o popish_a sense_n as_o if_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n be_v all_o one_o in_o which_o sense_n the_o papist_n speak_v of_o the_o old_a law_n and_o the_o new_a it_o will_v be_v very_o dangerous_a and_o direct_o thwart_v the_o scripture_n some_o explain_v it_o thus_o god_n say_v they_o have_v a_o primary_n or_o antecedent_n will_v in_o give_v of_o the_o law_n or_o a_o secondary_a and_o consequent_a his_o primary_n will_v be_v to_o hold_v out_o perfect_a and_o exact_a

dead_a carcase_n his_o live_a faith_n to_o dead_a unbelief_n his_o humility_n to_o loathsome_a pride_n see_v what_o a_o conclusion_n he_o make_v i_o thank_v god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v true_a many_o time_n the_o people_n of_o god_n out_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o sin_n be_v drive_v off_o from_o christ_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o scripture_n direction_n that_o hold_v out_o riches_n in_o christ_n for_o thy_o poverty_n righteousness_n in_o christ_n for_o thy_o guilt_n peace_n in_o christ_n for_o thy_o terror_n and_o in_o this_o consideration_n it_o be_v that_o many_o time_n luther_n have_v such_o hyperbolical_a speech_n about_o the_o law_n and_o about_o sin_n all_o be_v speak_v against_o a_o christian_n oppose_v the_o law_n to_o the_o gospel_n so_o as_o if_o the_o discover_v of_o the_o one_o do_v quite_o drive_v from_o the_o other_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o papist_n and_o formal_a christian_n never_o hearty_o and_o vehement_o prize_n christ_n take_v up_o every_o crumb_n that_o fall_v from_o his_o table_n they_o be_v christ_n to_o themselves_o and_o self-saviour_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o the_o preach_n of_o christ_n and_o about_o grace_n may_v also_o make_v we_o prize_v grace_n and_o christ_n but_o such_o be_v our_o corruption_n that_o all_o be_v little_a enough_o let_v i_o add_v these_o caution_n 1._o it_o be_v of_o great_a consequence_n in_o what_o sense_n we_o use_v the_o word_n law_n precept_n he_o that_o distinguish_v well_o teach_v well_o now_o i_o observe_v a_o great_a neglect_n of_o this_o in_o the_o book_n write_v about_o these_o point_n and_o indeed_o the_o reason_n why_o some_o can_v so_o hardly_o endure_v the_o word_n law_n be_v because_o they_o attend_v to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o word_n in_o

to_o be_v do_v and_o that_o by_o way_n of_o mere_a command_n but_o now_o the_o hebrew_n word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v comprehend_v more_o for_o that_o do_v not_o only_o signify_v strict_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v but_o it_o denote_v large_o any_o heavenly_a doctrine_n whether_o it_o be_v promise_n or_o precept_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n which_o in_o some_o sense_n will_v be_v a_o contradiction_n and_o in_o some_o place_n where_o the_o word_n law_n be_v use_v absolute_o it_o be_v much_o question_v whether_o he_o mean_v the_o law_n or_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o call_v it_o a_o law_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o as_o chrysostome_n will_v have_v it_o because_o hereby_o he_o will_v sweeten_v the_o

the_o will_n of_o god_n the_o hebrew_n have_v a_o more_o strict_a word_n for_o precept_n and_o that_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d yet_o some_o say_v this_o also_o sometime_o signify_v a_o

the_o apostle_n general_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o galatian_n indeed_o this_o be_v a_o dispute_n between_o papist_n and_o we_o in_o what_o sense_n the_o law_n be_v take_v for_o the_o papist_n will_v have_v it_o understand_v only_o of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o dispute_n be_v about_o the_o observation_n of_o those_o legal_a

to_o be_v real_o exhibitive_a of_o grace_n as_o these_o be_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n therefore_o if_o the_o apostle_n argue_v against_o the_o moral_a law_n will_v prove_v it_o no_o instrument_n of_o god_n spirit_n for_o our_o good_a the_o same_o will_v hold_v also_o in_o circumcision_n and_o all_o those_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o at_o least_o for_o that_o time_n they_o must_v grant_v
