according_a to_o this_o author_n way_n impossible_a viz._n that_o all_o man_n be_v oblige_v to_o eternal_a condemnation_n for_o their_o sin_n whereas_o there_o be_v no_o possibility_n of_o this_o for_o if_o thus_o oblige_v let_v it_o be_v ask_v by_o what_o law_n now_o there_o be_v no_o law_n according_a to_o he_o either_o promise_a future_a happiness_n upon_o obedience_n or_o threaten_v future_a misery_n upon_o disobedience_n but_o only_o the_o gospel_n itself_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v reply_v that_o all_o be_v oblige_v to_o eternal_a punishment_n for_o their_o sin_n by_o the_o gospel_n by_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n and_o pardon_v reveal_v in_o former_a time_n among_o the_o jew_n and_o heathen_n it_o be_v so_o absurd_a that_o i_o shall_v speak_v no_o more_o to_o it_o than_o i_o have_v christ_n be_v send_v to_o redeem_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o not_o of_o the_o gospel_n second_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o apostle_n in_o such_o place_n as_o this_o author_n make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o reconcile_v to_o the_o apostle_n james_n speak_v of_o justification_n so_o as_o to_o deny_v justification_n by_o a_o law_n that_o do_v promise_v eternal_a life_n and_o threaten_v eternal_a death_n and_o require_v inward_a and_o spiritual_a obedience_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o jewish_a common-wealth-law_n by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v in_o his_o sight_n for_o by_o the_o law_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n he_o tell_v we_o none_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o that_o law_n that_o christ_n bear_v the_o curse_n of_o sure_o then_o that_o law_n threaten_v eternal_a death_n else_o christ_n have_v bear_v and_o free_v from_o only_o a_o temporal_a curse_n he_o speak_v of_o a_o law_n that_o the_o apostle_n establish_v do_v we_o make_v void_a the_o law_n by_o faith_n yea_o we_o establish_v the_o law_n sure_o they_o do_v not_o establish_v this_o common-wealth-law_n and_o say_v the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a and_o do_v not_o by_o those_o word_n mean_v the_o gospel_n be_v spiritual_a but_o oppose_v the_o law_n to_o the_o gospel_n three_o but_o suppose_v all_o man_n guilty_a of_o eternal_a death_n without_o any_o law_n and_o suppose_v the_o apostle_n do_v speak_v of_o the_o jewish_a common-wealth-law_n yet_o this_o argument_n that_o he_o ascribe_v to_o the_o apostle_n will_v be_v intolerable_o faulty_a and_o inconclusive_a for_o suppose_v some_o in_o charity_n to_o the_o author_n shall_v think_v he_o mean_v that_o the_o apostle_n supposition_n be_v this_o that_o all_o man_n jew_n and_o gentile_n be_v guilty_a of_o such_o sin_n as_o there_o be_v no_o temporal_a remission_n upon_o sacrifice_n allow_v to_o by_o that_o law_n but_o all_o guilty_a of_o they_o be_v without_o mercy_n to_o be_v cut_v off_o by_o the_o magistrate_n then_o this_o supposition_n will_v be_v false_a for_o without_o doubt_n there_o be_v many_o among_o the_o jew_n not_o guilty_a of_o such_o sin_n and_o again_o the_o argument_n must_v mean_v only_o the_o deny_v of_o temporal_a justification_n and_o the_o deny_v of_o eternal_a here_o will_v not_o be_v sense_n and_o be_v also_o against_o the_o author_n intention_n or_o second_o the_o meaning_n be_v which_o be_v apparent_o the_o author_n mind_n all_o be_v guilty_a of_o such_o sin_n as_o there_o be_v no_o eternal_a justification_n promise_v from_o by_o this_o law_n because_o it_o promise_v no_o eternal_a justification_n at_o all_o upon_o any_o term_n whatsoever_o and_o then_o methinks_v the_o author_n be_v a_o disputant_n may_v have_v have_v a_o strong_a tentation_n to_o think_v he_o can_v have_v tell_v the_o apostle_n how_o to_o prove_v his_o great_a design_n easy_o even_o by_o leave_v out_o and_o without_o make_v use_n of_o one_o of_o the_o hypothesis_n or_o foundation_n of_o his_o argument_n which_o be_v this_o that_o all_o be_v sinner_n and_o especial_o since_o this_o author_n find_v it_o

whatsoever_o require_v more_o than_o man_n have_v the_o natural_a ability_n to_o do_v and_o also_o pass_v by_o his_o mention_v of_o it_o as_o a_o defect_n in_o moses_n law_n and_o the_o law_n of_o

and_o therefore_o no_o law_n giveeth_n or_o promise_v the_o proper_a ability_n to_o obey_v itself_o i_o say_v set_v these_o thing_n aside_o i_o shall_v only_o mind_v you_o how_o inconsistent_a with_o

work_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n i_o have_v show_v before_o in_o speak_v to_o it_o the_o inconsistency_n of_o the_o first_o argument_n with_o itself_o which_o he_o say_v lean_v on_o two_o foundation_n viz._n 1._o that_o all_o man_n be_v guilty_a of_o great_a sin_n so_o that_o they_o can_v be_v justify_v as_o to_o conscience_n by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n 2._o that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n promise_v no_o justification_n as_o to_o conscience_n on_o any_o term_n whatsoever_o whereas_o one_o of_o these_o can_v only_o possible_o be_v a_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n for_o if_o that_o law_n promise_v no_o justification_n on_o any_o term_n whatsoever_o than_o their_o be_v sinner_n can_v be_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o that_o law_n and_o again_o if_o their_o sin_n be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n than_o the_o law_n do_v promise_v justification_n to_o they_o on_o condition_n of_o their_o be_v free_a from_o such_o sin_n so_o this_o second_o argument_n which_o he_o ascribe_v to_o the_o apostle_n viz._n that_o none_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n because_o of_o two_o internal_a defect_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v that_o it_o have_v no_o promise_n of_o future-life_n justification_n and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o ability_n to_o do_v the_o thing_n it_o require_v for_o their_o future-life_n justification_n labour_v with_o the_o same_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d for_o if_o they_o have_v no_o ability_n to_o do_v the_o thing_n it_o require_v for_o their_o future-life_n justification_n then_o their_o disability_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o their_o not_o be_v justify_v by_o that_o law_n and_o not_o the_o law_n not_o promise_v it_o and_o again_o if_o the_o law_n not_o promise_v it_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o can_v not_o attain_v future-life_n justification_n by_o that_o law_n than_o their_o disability_n to_o perform_v what_o it_o require_v can_v be_v no_o cause_n of_o their_o not_o be_v justify_v by_o it_o if_o any_o shall_v reply_v their_o disability_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o can_v not_o perform_v true_a piety_n which_o true_a piety_n be_v require_v by_o some_o other_o law_n for_o their_o future-life_n justification_n set_v aside_o the_o illogicalness_n and_o incoherency_n of_o discourse_n which_o this_o will_v fasten_v on_o the_o apostle_n in_o many_o particular_n i_o will_v only_o ask_v one_o so_o reply_v by_o what_o law_n be_v true_a piety_n require_v of_o they_o this_o author_n tell_v we_o by_o the_o consequence_n though_o possible_o not_o express_o it_o be_v not_o require_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n or_o nature_n neither_o of_o they_o as_o he_o say_v

of_o any_o such_o law_n but_o only_o from_o a_o temporal_a curse_n or_o curse_v of_o this_o life_n the_o consequence_n be_v apparent_a because_o he_o know_v not_o what_o he_o say_v that_o shall_v
