die_v to_o sin_n to_o mortify_v their_o member_n which_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n to_o live_v to_o righteousness_n to_o walk_v in_o newness_n of_o life_n three_o point_n the_o pride_n of_o corrupt_a

the_o pride_n of_o life_n be_v not_o of_o the_o father_n but_o be_v of_o the_o world_n the_o use_n of_o this_o may_v be_v first_o to_o teach_v we_o to_o see_v and_o bewail_v the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n doctr._n and_o withal_o to_o make_v we_o sensible_a how_o dangerous_a it_o be_v to_o continue_v in_o our_o natural_a estate_n destitute_a of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n our_o corrupt_a nature_n be_v apt_a to_o corrupt_v and_o deny_v the_o precious_a truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a and_o malignant_a disease_n of_o the_o body_n that_o shall_v turn_v

nature_n be_v whole_o overspread_v with_o the_o deadly_a disease_n of_o sin_n and_o corruption_n and_o there_o be_v no_o part_n ●ound_v in_o they_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 18._o i_o know_v that_o in_o i_o that_o be_v in_o my_o flesh_n dwell_v no_o good_a thing_n he_o have_v much_o good_a in_o he_o through_o grace_n a_o great_a measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n but_o in_o his_o

they_o which_o be_v not_o regenerate_v there_o be_v nothing_o spiritual_o good_a nothing_o suitable_a and_o please_a to_o god_n whence_o these_o two_o great_a evil_n follow_v first_o a_o inclination_n to_o reject_v the_o remedy_n like_o a_o corrupt_a stomach_n that_o give_v no_o entertainment_n to_o the_o physic_n leave_v it_o no_o time_n to_o work_v the_o cure_n but_o present_o cast_v it_o out_o so_o do_v many_o in_o the_o state_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n they_o hear_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v as_o pre●ious_a remedy_n against_o that_o disease_n

tell_v the_o unbelieve_a jew_n 46_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v first_o have_v be_v speak_v to_o you_o but_o see_v you_o put_v it_o from_o you_o and_o judge_v yourselves_o unworthy_a of_o everlasting_a life_n lo_o we_o turn_v to_o the_o gentile_n he_o charge_v they_o for_o put_v the_o word_n of_o god_n from_o they_o the_o apostle_n have_v put_v the_o word_n of_o god_n home_o to_o they_o and_o they_o put_v it_o from_o they_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o many_o the_o gospel_n be_v tender_v to_o they_o as_o necessary_a physic_n send_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o minister_v to_o they_o by_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o word_n but_o they_o put_v it_o from_o they_o either_o they_o do_v not_o take_v it_o down_o or_o present_o cast_v it_o up_o again_o second_o there_o be_v a_o inclination_n in_o corrupt_a nature_n to_o corrupt_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o make_v they_o occasion_n of_o increase_v the_o disease_n and_o so_o to_o make_v the_o gospel_n to_o become_v the_o servant_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n 16._o corrupt_a nature_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v both_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n occasion_n of_o increase_v these_o disease_n of_o the_o soul_n concern_v the_o law_n 5_o the_o apostle_n say_v when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n the_o motion_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v by_o the_o law_n do_v work_v in_o our_o member_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n this_o explain_v afterward_o as_o in_o other_o passage_n wherefore_o the_o law_n be_v holy_a 8._o and_o the_o commandment_n holy_a and_o just_a and_o good_a the_o law_n be_v perfect_o holy_a and_o just_a and_o good_a and_o therefore_o can_v be_v proper_o the_o cause_n of_o any_o thing_n sinful_a and_o unholy_a be_v that_o then_o which_o be_v good_a make_v death_n unto_o i_o god_n forbid_v but_o sin_n that_o it_o may_v appear_v sin_n work_v death_n in_o i_o by_o that_o which_o be_v good_a that_o sin_n by_o the_o commandment_n may_v become_v exceed_o sinful_a such_o be_v the_o malignity_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n that_o it_o work_v evil_a out_o of_o good_a and_o make_v the_o pure_a and_o holy_a law_n of_o god_n a_o occasion_n of_o sin_n the_o more_o sin_n be_v forbid_v reprove_v threaten_v condemn_v by_o the_o law_n the_o more_o vehement_o be_v the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n carry_v after_o sin_n so_o for_o the_o gospel_n the_o apostle_n peter_n say_v that_o christ_n preach_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o they_o that_o be_v disobedient_a 13._o a_o stone_n of_o stumble_v and_o a_o rock_n of_o offence_n when_o to_o they_o which_o stumble_v at_o the_o word_n be_v disobedient_a whereunto_o also_o they_o be_v appoint_v they_o stumble_v and_o take_v offence_n because_o they_o like_v not_o those_o term_n upon_o which_o christ_n be_v offer_v to_o they_o in_o the_o gospel_n how_o dangerous_a be_v it_o then_o to_o continue_v in_o this_o estate_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n how_o earnest_n shall_v poor_a soul_n be_v with_o the_o lord_n to_o deliver_v they_o the_o body_n be_v in_o a_o sad_a estate_n when_o all_o both_o food_n and_o physic_n increase_v some_o deadly_a disease_n in_o it_o the_o word_n and_o gospel_n of_o god_n be_v both_o food_n and_o physic_n and_o corrupt_a nature_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v it_o a_o occasion_n to_o increase_v sin_n and_o aggravate_v condemnation_n cry_v mighty_o to_o the_o lord_n to_o work_v a_o through_o cure_n upon_o your_o soul_n to_o change_v and_o renew_v your_o nature_n to_o send_v his_o spirit_n along_o with_o his_o word_n that_o it_o may_v overpower_v the_o disease_n of_o your_o soul_n and_o be_v unto_o you_o the_o favour_n of_o life_n unto_o life_n second_o 2_o this_o may_v teach_v we_o not_o to_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o so_o many_o precious_a truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v deny_v and_o reject_v in_o these_o day_n so_o many_o part_n of_o scripture_n abuse_v with_o false_a interpretation_n and_o corrupt_a gloss_n so_o many_o error_n and_o lie_v maintain_v instead_o of_o truth_n corrupt_a nature_n

of_o impenitency_n and_o unbelief_n that_o full_a satisfaction_n which_o christ_n make_v to_o the_o law_n ratify_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n and_o proclaim_v to_o the_o world_n that_o the_o law_n spare_v none_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o so_o be_v all_o that_o be_v not_o in_o christ_n and_o so_o under_o grace_n and_o therefore_o rest_v not_o one_o day_n in_o this_o condition_n sin_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n he_o avenger_n of_o blood_n be_v at_o thy_o back_n the_o voice_n of_o the_o law_n be_v pay_v that_o thou_o owe_v it_o be_v a_o groundless_a plea_n to_o say_v christ_n have_v pay_v all_o if_o thou_o remain_v out_o of_o christ._n second_o 2._o if_o sin_n be_v so_o exceed_o grievous_a and_o bitter_a unto_o christ_n oh_o let_v it_o not_o be_v sweet_a and_o delightful_a unto_o thou_o it_o sin_v impute_v be_v such_o a_o unspeakable_a torment_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n what_o a_o shame_n be_v it_o for_o any_o that_o pretend_v to_o be_v member_n of_o christ_n to_o make_v it_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o contentment_n do_v thou_o call_v thyself_o a_o christian_n and_o can_v thou_o see_v the_o son_n of_o god_n abase_v for_o sin_n put_v to_o a_o open_a

thy_o se●f_n with_o it_o and_o still_o own_o the_o name_n of_o a_o christian_a what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n harbour_v in_o thy_o bosom_n that_o

to_o the_o law_n he_o have_v pay_v the_o debt_n of_o his_o people_n cancel_v the_o bond_n of_o the_o law_n redeem_v they_o from_o the_o curse_n the_o law_n can_v exact_v no_o satisfaction_n from_o they_o he_o have_v full_o clear_v all_o account_n there_o be_v therefore_o now_o no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n 1._o who_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n but_o of_o this_o somewhat_o may_v be_v speak_v upon_o the_o next_o point_n the_o three_o particular_a follow_v 3._o viz._n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n establish_v the_o law_n by_o communicate_v his_o perfect_a righteousness_n to_o believer_n where_o as_o in_o the_o former_a point_n there_o be_v two_o branch_n 1._o that_o the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v communicate_v to_o believer_n branch_n 2._o that_o hereby_o the_o law_n be_v establish_v concern_v the_o former_a you_o hear_v before_o of_o the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n who_o both_o be_v a_o lamb_n without_o spot_n know_v no_o sin_n and_o perform_v complete_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o also_o do_v undergo_v the_o punishment_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n due_a to_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o so_o make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o law_n now_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v clear_v be_v this_o that_o this_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v communicate_v to_o believer_n 2._o how_o it_o be_v receive_v by_o believer_n 3._o what_o be_v the_o effect_n and_o consequent_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n thus_o communicate_v and_o receive_v for_o the_o first_o 1._o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v communicate_v to_o believer_n not_o by_o infusion_n but_o by_o imputation_n 21._o not_o so_o as_o to_o be_v inherent_a in_o they_o but_o so_o as_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o they_o so_o as_o to_o be_v account_v they_o for_o he_o have_v make_v he_o to_o be_v sin_n for_o we_o that_o know_v no_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o as_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n be_v not_o infuse_v into_o christ_n so_o as_o to_o be_v inherent_a in_o he_o but_o impute_v to_o he_o so_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o infuse_v into_o believer_n so_o as_o to_o be_v inherent_a in_o they_o but_o be_v impute_v to_o they_o and_o account_v they_o the_o satisfaction_n which_o christ_n have_v make_v to_o the_o law_n be_v impute_v to_o they_o that_o be_v reckon_v to_o belong_v unto_o they_o as_o if_o they_o have_v satisfy_v the_o law_n in_o their_o own_o person_n 24._o so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o abraham_n it_o be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n now_o it_o be_v not_o write_v for_o his_o sake_n alone_o that_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o but_o for_o we_o also_o to_o who_o it_o shall_v be_v impute_v if_o we_o believe_v on_o he_o who_o raise_v up_o jesus_n our_o lord_n from_o the_o dead_a as_o if_o a_o king_n shall_v pardon_v a_o great_a malefactor_n for_o his_o father_n sake_n who_o have_v do_v some_o eminent_a service_n to_o the_o state_n his_o father_n deserve_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o account_v his_o as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v his_o own_o and_o when_o a_o surety_n pay_v another_o debt_n the_o payment_n be_v impute_v to_o the_o debtor_n and_o account_v as_o do_v by_o he_o and_o he_o be_v as_o full_o discharge_v and_o esteem_v out_o of_o debt_n as_o if_o he_o have_v pay_v it_o with_o his_o own_o money_n so_o believer_n have_v no_o righteousness_n of_o their_o own_o to_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n but_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v impute_v to_o they_o that_o be_v account_v they_o as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v perfect_o righteous_a by_o perform_v perfect_a obedience_n and_o make_v full_a satisfaction_n in_o their_o own_o person_n to_o the_o law_n and_o here_o you_o may_v observe_v who_o it_o be_v that_o impute_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o believer_n 2._o of_o what_o

the_o man_n unto_o who_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n 6._o it_o be_v god_n who_o impute_v righteousness_n unto_o justification_n and_o it_o proper_o belong_v to_o he_o as_o the_o

a_o sure_a argument_n that_o he_o be_v high_o in_o the_o judge_n favour_n 4._o he_o improve_v his_o interest_n in_o the_o judge_n by_o make_v intercession_n for_o his_o people_n present_v his_o
