of_o what_o have_v be_v already_o speak_v and_o of_o what_o as_o yet_o remain_v to_o be_v speak_v you_o be_v to_o understand_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o the_o express_a commandment_n of_o god_n do_v oblige_v proper_o by_o itself_o and_o by_o its_o own_o force_n in_o the_o second_o place_n the_o law_n of_o man_n and_o the_o mandate_n and_o order_n of_o our_o superior_n do_v oblige_v the_o conscience_n but_o by_o no_o power_n or_o authority_n but_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n three_o vow_n and_o promise_n be_v make_v of_o our_o own_o accord_n when_o it_o be_v whole_o in_o our_o own_o choice_n to_o do_v otherwise_o do_v in_o their_o proper_a fact_n and_o freedom_n of_o election_n oblige_v our_o conscience_n to_o the_o performance_n of_o they_o four_o and_o last_o the_o law_n of_o consideration_n of_o scandal_n and_o offence_n do_v by_o accident_n oblige_v the_o conscience_n vii_o we_o be_v here_o to_o understand_v that_o only_o that_o obligation_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o first_o degree_n be_v absolute_a and_o universal_a the_o other_o three_o be_v relative_a and_o particular_a i_o say_v it_o be_v absolute_a because_o it_o do_v direct_o and_o always_o oblige_v and_o because_o it_o oblige_v all_o person_n and_o the_o obligation_n of_o it_o be_v never_o to_o be_v cancel_v the_o other_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v relative_a both_o because_o they_o do_v not_o bind_v of_o themselves_o or_o by_o their_o own_o power_n but_o by_o a_o relation_n to_o some_o precept_n or_o institution_n of_o god_n as_o also_o because_o they_o do_v not_o always_o or_o every_o where_o oblige_v and_o in_o every_o case_n but_o when_o those_o consideration_n do_v require_v which_o they_o do_v bear_v a_o reference_n and_o respect_n unto_o the_o obligation_n therefore_o of_o the_o first_o degree_n be_v predominant_a over_o any_o obligation_n whatsoever_o in_o the_o other_o three_o insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v able_a to_o make_v they_o of_o no_o effect_n but_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o render_v it_o frustrate_v nay_o if_o we_o take_v it_o universal_o the_o obligation_n in_o any_o superior_a degree_n the_o other_o be_v equal_a be_v more_o valid_a than_o the_o obligation_n in_o any_o inferior_a degree_n whatsoever_o and_o do_v judge_n over_o they_o either_o by_o take_v away_o what_o be_v do_v and_o contract_v as_o oftentimes_o or_o at_o least_o by_o hinder_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v as_o always_o therefore_o as_o to_o the_o power_n of_o obligation_n the_o law_n of_o man_n must_v give_v place_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n private_a contract_n and_o promise_n to_o public_a constitution_n and_o the_o law_n or_o consideration_n of_o offence_n or_o scandal_n to_o they_o both_o viii_o these_o thing_n be_v thus_o premise_v that_o we_o may_v be_v happy_a in_o a_o certain_a rule_n by_o which_o we_o may_v know_v how_o to_o live_v i_o will_v according_a to_o my_o promise_n comprehend_v in_o some_o few_o conclusion_n those_o which_o be_v most_o necessary_a to_o be_v understand_v concern_v the_o rule_n of_o conscience_n and_o the_o passive_a obligation_n of_o it_o the_o first_o conclusion_n be_v that_o god_n alone_o have_v a_o most_o proper_a and_o direct_a command_n on_o the_o conscience_n of_o all_o man_n so_o that_o none_o but_o god_n alone_o have_v power_n to_o impose_v a_o law_n upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o any_o man_n to_o which_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v subject_v as_o oblige_v by_o itself_o i_o say_v by_o itself_o for_o we_o be_v all_o bind_v in_o our_o conscience_n to_o observe_v the_o just_a law_n of_o man_n to_o keep_v our_o vow_n and_o promise_v make_v to_o god_n or_o man_n and_o to_o be_v careful_a that_o we_o become_v not_o a_o scandal_n or_o a_o offence_n unto_o other_o but_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o all_o these_o thing_n upon_o no_o other_o tie_n but_o as_o they_o be_v reduceable_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n command_v they_o as_o in_o its_o due_a place_n we_o shall_v give_v a_o account_n unto_o you_o of_o the_o particular_n thereof_o ix_o this_o conclusion_n be_v prove_v first_o by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n already_o mention_v there_o be_v but_o one_o lawgiver_n who_o can_v both_o save_v and_o destroy_v in_o which_o word_n two_o argument_n do_v prefer_v themselves_o to_o our_o observation_n in_o the_o first_o place_n they_o assert_v there_o

be_v ground_v which_o although_o they_o do_v all_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o whatsoever_o power_n of_o obligation_n they_o have_v they_o altogether_o acknowledge_v it_o as_o proceed_n from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o the_o first_o in_o every_o kind_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o rest_n neither_o will_v the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o already_o it_o be_v state_v be_v the_o

of_o other_o circumstance_n as_o the_o law_n or_o reason_n of_o scandal_n the_o privilege_n and_o priority_n of_o order_n and_o method_n do_v require_v that_o we_o begin_v with_o humane_a law_n

be_v under_o the_o absolute_a notion_n of_o punishment_n and_o can_v otherwise_o be_v consider_v but_o in_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o punishment_n must_v therefore_o necessary_o suppose_v some_o

punishment_n do_v suppose_v some_o precedent_a fault_n worthy_a of_o such_o a_o punishment_n for_o otherwise_o it_o will_v not_o be_v just_a yet_o because_o they_o may_v be_v otherwise_o consider_v

revenge_v a_o fault_n past_a as_o to_o prevent_v a_o fault_n to_o come_v it_o come_v thereupon_o to_o pass_v that_o neither_o god_n himself_o when_o he_o afflict_v a_o man_n either_o with_o a_o

very_o often_o they_o do_v propound_v other_o end_n unto_o themselves_o to_o this_o purpose_n belong_v that_o answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n when_o his_o disciple_n ask_v he_o concern_v the_o blind_a

temporal_a punishment_n to_o a_o sin_n do_v proper_o consist_v only_o in_o that_o punishment_n which_o relative_o be_v oppose_v to_o the_o sin_n and_o not_o in_o that_o punishment_n which_o only_o

to_o the_o law_n that_o be_v pure_o penal_a be_v not_o call_v a_o punishment_n strict_o and_o proper_o but_o improper_o and_o more_o large_o as_o it_o signify_v another_o kind_n of_o evil_a diverse_a
