when_o i_o pray_v 7_o why_o christ_n be_v a_o saint_n advocate_n 1_o reason_n because_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o office_n viz._n his_o priestly_a office_n and_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v any_o of_o his_o office_n lie_v vacant_a 2_o because_o it_o be_v much_o for_o christ_n honour_n that_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o our_o salvation_n from_o first_o to_o last_o shall_v be_v so_o manage_v as_o that_o he_o shall_v still_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o it_o and_o every_o part_n thereof_o 8_o how_o this_o make_v for_o our_o support_n and_o comfort_n against_o and_o under_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o infirmity_n answ_n in_o these_o three_o thing_n 1_o by_o christ_n advocateship_n god_n the_o father_n be_v put_v in_o continual_a remembrance_n of_o that_o full_a and_o satisfactory_a sacrifice_n which_o be_v once_o offer_v for_o sin_n hence_o christ_n who_o intercede_v for_o ever_o heb._n 7._o his_o blood_n be_v say_v to_o speak_v heb._n 12.24_o and_o to_o the_o blood_n of_o

the_o father_n 2_o by_o christ_n advocateship_n there_o be_v a_o continual_a application_n of_o pardon_n to_o the_o soul_n christ_n death_n do_v purchase_v his_o intercession_n do_v apply_v and_o the_o application_n of_o pardon_n although_o it_o be_v perfect_v at_o once_o yet_o it_o

threat_n of_o death_n in_o case_n of_o disobedience_n and_o the_o promise_n of_o life_n upon_o condition_n of_o obedience_n by_o assure_v her_o seed_n in_o give_v forth_o this_o rule_n unto_o they_o that_o they_o be_v already_o most_o certain_o free_v from_o death_n and_o possess_v of_o life_n and_o that_o therefore_o she_o give_v not_o forth_o this_o rule_n unto_o they_o to_o be_v as_o a_o way_n

duty_n that_o by_o it_o they_o may_v be_v instruct_v how_o they_o ought_v to_o walk_v and_o to_o please_v god_n hence_o the_o obedience_n of_o sarahs_n child_n so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o their_o mother_n sarah_n only_o receive_v their_o law_n out_o of_o her_o hand_n be_v pure_a gospel_n obedience_n i._n e._n obedience_n spring_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n dwell_v in_o

4_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o a_o true_a believer_n as_o he_o do_v not_o expect_v life_n and_o salvation_n from_o his_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n so_o shall_v he_o not_o fear_v death_n and_o condemnation_n either_o by_o his_o fall_a short_a in_o obedience_n or_o by_o his_o disobedience_n this_o position_n will_v sound_v harsh_a in_o some_o care_n and_o be_v account_v a_o leaven_a principle_n but_o do_v but_o observe_v how_o natural_o it_o flow_v from_o what_o have_v be_v lay_v down_o and_o prove_v for_o if_o the_o promise_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n upon_o condition_n of_o obedience_n and_o the_o threat_n of_o death_n and_o condemnation_n to_o the_o disobedient_a be_v proper_a to_o the_o law_n as_o hagars_n law_n and_o if_o the_o law_n as_o hagars_n law_n be_v now_o cast_v out_o then_o have_v a_o believer_n nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v a_o law_n promise_v life_n to_o the_o obedient_a or_o threaten_a death_n to_o the_o disobedient_a and_o if_o so_o then_o can_v he_o expect_v life_n and_o salvation_n from_o it_o though_o he_o shall_v obey_v it_o nor_o need_v he_o fear_v death_n though_o he_o disobey_v it_o this_o necessary_o follow_v that_o which_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o be_v dead_a to_o deliver_v from_o etc._n etc._n he_o can_v neither_o expect_v good_a no_o nor_o fear_v evil_a from_o but_o the_o law_n as_o hagars_n law_n he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o be_v dead_a to_o it_o deliver_v from_o it_o therefore_o he_o can_v neither_o expect_v good_a nor_o need_v he_o fear_v evil_a from_o it_o obj._n but_o it_o will_v be_v say_v such_o a_o principle_n as_o this_o d●th_v open_a a_o wide_a gap_n to_o all_o manner_n of_o licention_n nesse_n ans_fw-fr not_o so_o but_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v co_z a_o

therefore_o the_o law_n be_v now_o therein_o be_v become_v permanent_a and_o everlasting_a also_o yea_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o law_n may_v be_v stable_n and_o continue_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a it_o shall_v be_v transplant_v hither_o the_o covenant_n in_o which_o it_o be_v before_o be_v as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o decay_a and_o waxen_a old_a yea_o ready_a to_o

3_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o very_a same_o work_n or_o duty_n for_o the_o substance_n or_o matter_n of_o it_o do_v by_o one_o may_v be_v a_o legal_a work_n do_v by_o another_o a_o
