B12273	The harmonie of the lawe and the gospel Wherin is plainly shewed, that howsoeuer they differ in time and some other circumstances, yet in substance they are one & the same. And by waie of application, the pretended antiquitie of Poperie is discouered, and found to be a meere nouelty: deliuered in a sermon at Pauls-crosse, the 9. of Aug. 1607. by George Cresvvell, minister of Gods word.

thus_o give_v upon_o necessity_n it_o must_v be_v glorious_a but_o much_o more_o glorious_a be_v the_o gospel_n because_o it_o be_v preach_v by_o the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n christ_n jesus_n by_o the_o which_o argument_n the_o apostle_n commend_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n unto_o we_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n therefore_o as_o much_o as_o christ_n 2._o

therefore_o that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v firm_a and_o certain_a it_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v preach_v by_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n cirillus_n make_v cirillus_n cirillus_n a_o excellent_a difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n first_o say_v he_o the_o law_n condemn_v the_o world_n and_o subdue_v all_o man_n right_o &_o just_o to_o curse_v
