the_o plague_n among_o we_o in_o the_o principal_a place_n of_o the_o kingdom_n wherefore_o be_v all_o this_o see_v what_o the_o prophet_n say_v jer._n 3.3_o therefore_o have_v the_o shower_n be_v withhold_v because_o you_o have_v be_v wicked_a thou_o have_v a_o whore_n forehead_n and_o refuse_v to_o be_v ashamed_a thy_o carelesseness_n and_o barrenness_n under_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n thy_o

be_v this_o work_n as_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n require_v work_n so_o it_o require_v perfect_a work_n he_o tell_v the_o church_n of_o sardis_n that_o he_o look_v for_o work_n and_o perfect_a work_n but_o can_v find_v they_o so_o that_o the_o second_o covenant_n require_v perfect_a work_n objection_n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o can_v that_o be_v paul_n himself_o that_o be_v as_o

13.10_o perfection_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v it_o may_v come_v heb_n 12._o there_o we_o read_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a and_o perfect_a man_n then_o man_n be_v make_v perfect_a but_o they_o be_v not_o perfect_a in_o this_o life_n i_o answer_v answer_n it_o be_v true_a therefore_o there_o be_v a_o double_a perfection_n first_o a_o perfection_n of_o degree_n to_o be_v perfect_o perfect_a and_o so_o no_o man_n can_v be_v perfect_a by_o any_o perfection_n inherent_a indeed_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n require_v this_o perfection_n but_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n do_v not_o indeed_o when_o we_o come_v to_o glory_n there_o shall_v be_v this_o perfection_n but_o not_o in_o this_o life_n in_o this_o life_n the_o lord_n only_o subdue_v our_o sin_n but_o cast_v they_o not_o into_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n till_o the_o life_n to_o come_v therefore_o this_o perfection_n can_v be_v look_v for_o upon_o earth_n therefore_o second_o there_o be_v another_o perfection_n and_o that_o be_v a_o perfection_n by_o way_n of_o sincerity_n and_o uprightness_n job_n 1.1_o job_n be_v a_o perfect_a and_o upright_o man_n now_o this_o perfection_n differ_v from_o the_o other_o five_o way_n the_o perfection_n god_n require_v in_o the_o gospel_n from_o that_o in_o the_o law_n first_o the_o law_n stand_v upon_o performance_n as_o well_o as_o the_o will_n and_o desire_v perfection_n and_o a_o man_n be_v not_o perfect_a unless_o he_o perform_v all_o as_o well_o as_o desire_v to_o do_v it_o but_o now_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v without_o these_o performance_n indeed_o that_o man_n labour_v for_o as_o many_o performance_n as_o he_o can_v but_o it_o may_v be_v only_o by_o desire_n rom._n 7.18_o paul_n be_v perfect_a by_o evangelical_n perfection_n he_o be_v upright_o before_o god_n yet_o he_o can_v not_o reach_v performance_n no_o he_o have_v a_o will_n to_o be_v good_a he_o do_v unfeigned_o desire_v to_o be_v godly_a and_o serve_v god_n in_o every_o thing_n unfeigned_o endeavour_v after_o godly_a course_n yet_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o that_o which_o he_o do_v desire_v so_o it_o be_v with_o nehemiah_n and_o all_o the_o good_a people_n of_o god_n nehem._n 1.11_o o_o lord_n i_o beseech_v thou_o let_v thy_o ear_n be_v attentive_a to_o the_o prayer_n of_o thy_o servant_n who_o desire_v to_o fear_v thy_o name_n he_o can_v hardly_o say_v that_o he_o do_v perform_v it_o but_o he_o do_v desire_v it_o he_o can_v hardly_o say_v he_o do_v love_n and_o obey_v god_n and_o do_v his_o will_n but_o this_o he_o will_v say_v he_o do_v desire_n to_o do_v it_o and_o unfeigned_o desire_v it_o as_o solomon_n say_v prov._n 21.21_o he_o that_o follow_v after_o righteousness_n and_o mercy_n find_v life_n he_o do_v not_o say_v he_o that_o reach_v it_o he_o can_v reach_v it_o may_v be_v but_o he_o that_o follow_v after_o it_o shall_v have_v life_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o have_v the_o life_n of_o justification_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v the_o life_n of_o glory_n second_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o law_n it_o stand_v upon_o quantity_n as_o well_o as_o upon_o quality_n &_o truth_n it_o be_v not_o satisfy_v though_o a_o man_n be_v never_o so_o true_o holy_a and_o religious_a unless_o man_n have_v quantity_n and_o be_v so_o much_o holy_a but_o now_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o gospel_n indeed_o it_o will_v have_v as_o much_o quantity_n as_o a_o man_n can_v but_o yet_o it_o will_v stand_v with_o truth_n though_o a_o man_n have_v not_o that_o quantity_n of_o humiliation_n and_o self-denial_n and_o power_n against_o sin_n yet_o if_o he_o have_v it_o in_o truth_n he_o be_v evangelical_o perfect_a in_o some_o measure_n he_o be_v sincere_a and_o upright_a before_o god_n as_o solomon_n say_v of_o his_o father_n 1_o king_n 13.6_o m●_n father_n have_v great_a mercy_n according_a as_o he_o walk_v before_o thou_o in_o truth_n he_o do_v not_o say_v he_o walk_v before_o thou_o in_o legal_a perfection_n he_o be_v perfect_o righteous_a but_o he_o be_v true_o righteous_a he_o be_v humble_a in_o truth_n and_o godly_a in_o truth_n and_o zealous_a in_o truth_n he_o have_v none_o of_o all_o these_o thing_n to_o the_o utmost_a yet_o he_o walk_v before_o thou_o in_o truth_n so_o josh_n 24.14_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o serve_v he_o in_o sincerity_n and_o truth_n he_o do_v not_o say_v serve_v he_o as_o if_o you_o shall_v do_v every_o thing_n he_o command_v but_o do_v it_o in_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n now_o sincerity_n be_v when_o there_o be_v no_o commandment_n but_o a_o man_n set_v himself_o to_o do_v it_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o he_o labour_v to_o avoid_v it_o and_o there_o be_v no_o right_a manner_n but_o he_o set_v himself_o to_o do_v it_o in_o the_o right_a manner_n to_o his_o power_n this_o be_v the_o perfection_n of_o the_o gospel_n three_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o law_n stand_v upon_o full_a measure_n whether_o a_o man_n have_v power_n or_o no_o that_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n the_o law_n will_v have_v all_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n whether_o a_o man_n have_v power_n or_o no_o but_o now_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o way_n of_o sincerity_n it_o look_v at_o what_o measure_n god_n have_v give_v and_o bestow_v and_o no_o more_o but_o what_o god_n have_v give_v and_o enable_v a_o man_n to_o do_v as_o you_o may_v see_v the_o lord_n do_v not_o require_v the_o gain_n of_o ten_o talent_n when_o he_o give_v but_o five_o nor_o the_o gain_n of_o five_o when_o he_o give_v but_o two_o the_o widow_n

or_o other_o to_o fight_v against_o the_o false_a apostle_n he_o speak_v it_o seem_v to_o all_o his_o brethren_n and_o acquaintance_n to_o entreat_v they_o to_o go_v to_o philippi_n but_o he_o can_v not_o get_v one_o of_o they_o to_o go_v what_o excuse_v they_o make_v we_o know_v not_o whither_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o be_v at_o that_o charge_n or_o whither_o they_o love_v their_o own_o ease_n but_o phil._n 2.21_o he_o break_v out_o into_o this_o speech_n they_o all_o seek_v their_o own_o and_o none_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v christ_n not_o as_o calvin_n note_v upon_o the_o place_n as_o though_o they_o have_v no_o grace_n or_o life_n in_o they_o but_o they_o be_v grow_v marvellous_a worldly_a and_o earthly_a and_o carry_v away_o with_o their_o lust_n marvellous_o tender_a of_o their_o profit_n seek_v their_o own_o and_o not_o the_o thing_n of_o christ_n though_o paul_n tell_v they_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o christ_n require_v it_o yet_o it_o be_v against_o their_o profit_n and_o ease_n he_o can_v get_v none_o of_o they_o to_o go_v so_o david_n that_o sin_n of_o number_v the_o people_n it_o lay_v upon_o his_o heart_n nine_o month_n and_o he_o come_v not_o to_o

child_n of_o god_n may_v grow_v to_o that_o pass_n that_o the_o service_n of_o god_n may_v be_v a_o burden_n it_o be_v true_a it_o can_v be_v absolute_o a_o burden_n to_o any_o child_n of_o god_n so_o the_o wicked_a only_o be_v absolute_o without_o zeal_n and_o affection_n they_o be_v absolute_o wicked_a and_o worldly_a therefore_o this_o can_v be_v absolute_o in_o a_o child_n of_o god_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v horrible_o and_o gross_o even_o to_o be_v tire_v and_o jade_v under_o god_n service_n even_o to_o count_v it_o a_o burden_n to_o cry_v out_o with_o those_o mal._n 1._o what_o a_o

blockish_a and_o without_o any_o spirit_n in_o it_o and_o have_v no_o life_n not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o heave_v up_o their_o heart_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n nay_o they_o may_v think_v it_o too_o long_o and_o wish_v it_o be_v do_v and_o they_o may_v think_v the_o opportunity_n to_o do_v and_o receive_v good_a come_v too_o often_o this_o be_v a_o horrible_a thing_n yet_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o galatian_n be_v so_o open-eared_n to_o the_o false_a apostle_n that_o come_v with_o another_o gospel_n that_o separate_v from_o the_o gospel_n of_o
