in_o the_o condemn_a power_n of_o it_o according_a to_o the_o state_n that_o a_o man_n be_v in_o either_o of_o sin_n or_o holiness_n so_o rom._n 6.14_o for_o sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n

that_o if_o sin_n have_v dominion_n over_o they_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a sign_n that_o they_o be_v under_o the_o law_n this_o be_v a_o great_a truth_n in_o this_o matter_n that_o all_o that_o be_v

to_o the_o purpose_n for_o proof_n of_o what_o i_o be_o upon_o that_o christ_n die_v to_o buy_v a_o people_n off_o from_o the_o law_n that_o they_o may_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n he_o die_v to_o buy_v those_o off_o from_o the_o law_n that_o shall_v prove_v believer_n as_o for_o all_o other_o he_o leave_v they_o to_o the_o law_n still_o for_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v to_o get_v the_o law_n annihilate_v or_o make_v utter_o void_a do_v we_o make_v void_a the_o law_n god_n forbid_v say_v the_o apostle_n rom._n 3.31_o but_o he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o sheep_n and_o to_o save_v his_o people_z from_o their_o sin_n he_o buy_v they_o off_o from_o the_o law_n such_o as_o st_n paul_n i_o through_o the_o law_n be_o dead_a to_o the_o law_n but_o not_o for_o wicked_a man_n that_o be_v such_o as_o continue_v so_o they_o shall_v find_v the_o law_n alive_a to_o they_o and_o full_o charge_v with_o wrath_n against_o they_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o holy_a will_n of_o the_o great_a god_n unto_o which_o all_o his_o creature_n owe_v a_o exact_a conformity_n now_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v i_o suppose_v be_v plain_o and_o full_o prove_v that_o which_o i_o

the_o justifier_n of_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v in_o jesus_n rom._n 3_o 24_o 25_o 26._o he_o may_v now_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a rom._n 4.5_o which_o by_o the_o law_n if_o that_o have_v not_o be_v take_v off_o by_o christ_n he_o can_v not_o i_o think_v have_v do_v methinks_v what_o i_o have_v say_v shall_v be_v a_o clear_a proof_n of_o this_o assertion_n see_v i_o have_v not_o only_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v so_o but_o show_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n the_o very_a manner_n how_o the_o law_n be_v take_v off_o all_o that_o i_o can_v apprehend_v to_o remain_v any_o whit_n

his_o death_n for_o if_o he_o bear_v our_o sin_n the_o law_n will_v not_o charge_v they_o upon_o we_o if_o he_o die_v for_o we_o or_o in_o our_o stead_n we_o be_v not_o by_o the_o law_n to_o die_v if_o christ_n be_v sacrifice_v for_o we_o as_o our_o passover_n we_o need_v not_o fear_v if_o we_o have_v the_o gospel-condition_n of_o covenant-relation_n to_o god_n in_o christ_n but_o the_o
