humble_v thou_o that_o what_o carry_v the_o appearance_n of_o great_a honour_n be_v if_o well_o consider_v a_o real_a burden_n to_o be_v surcharge_v with_o the_o common_a title_n of_o the_o

with_o great_a indignation_n than_o such_o a_o change_n of_o person_n as_o imply_v that_o we_o be_v actual_o discharge_v from_o punishment_n whilst_o unbeliever_n or_o impenitent_a i_o rejoice_v hearty_o that_o our_o author_n be_v once_o more_o give_v to_o change_n and_o that_o for_o the_o better_a and_o that_o we_o have_v at_o length_n hear_v some_o tiding_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n in_o order_n to_o our_o discharge_n from_o punishment_n which_o be_v whole_o lose_v in_o the_o report_n so_o much_o do_v we_o owe_v to_o the_o seasonable_a death_n of_o two_o antinomian_o under_o who_o influence_n he_o then_o be_v and_o to_o the_o life_n of_o two_o sound_v divine_n under_o who_o awe_n he_o now_o be_v ii_o reader_n thou_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o author_n whether_o defender_n or_o appellant_n have_v the_o odd_a way_n of_o answer_v a_o pinch_a objection_n that_o ever_o any_o respondent_fw-la in_o the_o world_n use_v which_o be_v not_o by_o show_v the_o weakness_n of_o it_o but_o by_o lend_v more_o strength_n to_o it_o one_o notable_a instance_n i_o have_v already_o give_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n when_o the_o report_n have_v affirm_v the_o first_o paper_n give_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o most_o learned_a of_o both_o party_n the_o rebuke_n reply_v that_o it_o give_v no_o satisfaction_n at_o all_o to_o mr._n cole_n and_o mr._n mather_n and_o those_o two_o sure_o may_v be_v reckon_v among_o the_o most_o learned_a of_o one_o party_n to_o which_o he_o rejoin_v that_o for_o some_o other_o reason_n they_o decline_v subscription_n where_o instead_o of_o answer_v he_o confirm_v by_o reason_n though_o secret_a reason_n that_o they_o decline_v subscription_n which_o be_v not_o to_o answer_v but_o confess_v the_o objection_n the_o objection_n be_v that_o they_o do_v not_o subscribe_v and_o he_o very_o officious_o without_o my_o ask_n give_v a_o account_n why_o they_o do_v not_o subscribe_v but_o i_o shall_v now_o give_v a_o

it_o be_v our_o less_o good_a and_o to_o speak_v with_o impartiality_n it_o sound_v harsh_o to_o my_o ear_n that_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o surety_n of_o a_o better_a testament_n that_o be_v of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n shall_v prove_v he_o the_o surety_n of_o a_o worse_a covenant_n that_o be_v of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n now_o how_o do_v the_o appellant_n take_v off_o the_o

stand_v where_o it_o do_v in_o its_o full_a strength_n till_o he_o fair_o remove_v it_o when_o therefore_o and_o not_o till_o then_o he_o shall_v prove_v that_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v the_o better_a testament_n he_o shall_v prove_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o surety_n of_o it_o but_o if_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v the_o better_a covenant_n of_o the_o two_o and_o christ_n be_v make_v or_o constitute_v the_o surety_n of_o that_o covenant_n he_o must_v bring_v other_o text_n to_o prove_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o surety_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n which_o will_v be_v the_o more_o difficult_a for_o he_o to_o do_v because_o the_o title_n of_o surety_n apply_v to_o christ_n be_v not_o use_v in_o any_o other_o text_n in_o the_o whole_a new_a testament_n 2._o
