come_v to_o who_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v v_o 19_o and_o v_o 23._o before_o faith_n come_v we_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n shut_v up_o unto_o the_o faith_n which_o shall_v afterward_o be_v reveal_v wherefore_o the_o law_n be_v our_o schoolmaster_n to_o bring_v we_o unto_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n but_o after_o that_o faith_n be_v come_v we_o be_v no_o long_o under_o a_o schoolmaster_n 11._o the_o three_o argument_n which_o the_o apostle_n make_v use_v of_o to_o prove_v that_o those_o who_o be_v convert_v to_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v not_o bind_v any_o long_a to_o observe_v the_o jewish_a be_v this_o the_o religion_n of_o abraham_n be_v such_o a_o religion_n as_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o available_a to_o justification_n but_o now_o the_o religion_n of_o abraham_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o christian_a religion_n consist_v only_o of_o faith_n and_o obedience_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o jewish_a law_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v express_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v before_o unto_o abraham_n and_o that_o his_o faith_n be_v reckon_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n when_o he_o be_v not_o in_o circumcision_n but_o in_o uncircumcision_n it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o the_o faith_n and_o obedience_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n shall_v be_v impute_v unto_o we_o for_o righteousness_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o jewish_a law_n this_o argument_n the_o apostle_n large_o and_o strong_o insist_o upon_o in_o the_o whole_a four_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o in_o the_o 3d_o to_o the_o galatian_n as_o you_o may_v there_o read_v at_o large_a 12._o the_o four_o and_o last_o argument_n by_o which_o the_o apostle_n prove_v that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n without_o retain_v the_o jewish_a be_v this_o the_o posterity_n of_o abraham_n be_v the_o elect_a and_o the_o peculiar_a people_n of_o god_n but_o by_o the_o posterity_n of_o abraham_n be_v not_o mean_v strict_o those_o who_o descend_v from_o abraham_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o child_n of_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v as_o many_o as_o be_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n shall_v be_v count_v for_o the_o seed_n the_o true_a religion_n therefore_o and_o service_n of_o god_n be_v not_o confine_v to_o the_o jewish_a nation_n who_o be_v the_o posterity_n of_o abraham_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o gentile_n also_o which_o believe_v have_v attain_v to_o righteousness_n even_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o faith_n that_o be_v those_o of_o all_o nation_n as_o well_o gentile_n as_o jew_n who_o embrace_v the_o christian_a religion_n which_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o religion_n of_o abraham_n shall_v be_v justify_v with_o faithful_a abraham_n and_o this_o argument_n the_o apostle_n insist_o upon_o in_o the_o 9th_o 10_o and_o 11_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o in_o the_o four_o to_o the_o galatian_n 13._o this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o argument_n which_o the_o apostle_n make_v use_v of_o in_o these_o two_o epistle_n to_o prove_v against_o the_o judaize_v christian_n that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o retain_v the_o jewish_a religion_n together_o with_o the_o christian._n and_o from_o the_o largeness_n clearness_n and_o strength_n of_o these_o argument_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o determination_n of_o this_o question_n be_v indeed_o the_o principal_a scope_n and_o design_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o these_o epistle_n for_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o absurd_a than_o to_o suppose_v that_o the_o apostle_n shall_v most_o strong_o and_o large_o demonstrate_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o real_o the_o design_n of_o his_o discourse_n or_o that_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n he_o shall_v make_v a_o thing_n the_o profess_a subject_n of_o his_o discourse_n and_o yet_o prove_v it_o by_o such_o intricate_a and_o obscure_a argument_n as_o the_o wise_a and_o cunning_a of_o man_n shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o reconcile_v either_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o scripture_n or_o with_o themselves_o 14._o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o so_o understand_v any_o passage_n in_o these_o epistle_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n design_v to_o magnify_v one_o christian_a virtue_n in_o opposition_n to_o all_o or_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n but_o only_o that_o he_o will_v set_v forth_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n without_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o jewish_a thus_o when_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n we_o must_v not_o interpret_v it_o of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n but_o of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o jewish_a for_o so_o the_o apostle_n himself_o most_o express_o explain_v it_o gal._n 5._o 6_o in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o love_n that_o be_v it_o matter_n not_o whether_o a_o man_n observe_v the_o work_n of_o the_o jewish_a religion_n or_o no_o if_o he_o maintain_v but_o the_o faith_n and_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o christian._n but_o as_o to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n the_o same_o apostle_n every_o where_o urge_v their_o necessity_n and_o particular_o the_o five_o last_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n be_v a_o most_o earnest_a exhortation_n to_o be_v fruitful_a therein_o 15._o from_o which_o it_o follow_v most_o evident_o that_o there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n between_o st._n paul_n and_o st._n james_n when_o the_o one_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n and_o the_o other_o say_v that_o faith_n without_o work_n can_v justify_v for_o the_o one_o speak_v profess_o of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o jewish_a religion_n and_o the_o other_o of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o christian_a it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n may_v avail_v to_o justify_v a_o man_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o jewish_a religion_n which_o be_v the_o assertion_n of_o st._n paul_n though_o it_o can_v do_v so_o without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n which_o be_v the_o assertion_n of_o st._n james_n the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n say_v st._n paul_n be_v account_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n that_o be_v his_o faith_n be_v accept_v without_o circumcision_n and_o without_o observe_v the_o external_a rite_n of_o the_o law_n but_o it_o be_v by_o work_n say_v st._n james_n that_o abraham_n our_o father_n be_v justify_v that_o be_v it_o be_v by_o real_a 1._o obedience_n to_o the_o moral_a and_o eternal_a law_n of_o god_n such_o as_o be_v now_o require_v by_o the_o christian_a religion_n that_o his_o faith_n be_v make_v available_a to_o justification_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o great_a apostle_n than_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o believe_v the_o christian_a religion_n be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n without_o obey_v the_o jewish_a religion_n but_o that_o it_o can_v be_v so_o without_o obey_v the_o christian._n 16._o from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o st._n paul_n concern_v faith_n and_o work_n deliver_v in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o galatian_n be_v so_o far_o from_o contradict_v what_o i_o have_v lay_v down_o in_o the_o forego_n chapter_n concern_v the_o true_a notion_n of_o religion_n in_o general_n namely_o that_o the_o essence_n and_o end_n of_o all_o true_a religion_n be_v obedience_n to_o the_o moral_a and_o eternal_a law_n of_o god_n that_o on_o the_o contrary_a nothing_o do_v more_o clear_o and_o more_o strong_o confirm_v it_o chap._n v._o of_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n in_o particular_a 1._o three_o endeavour_v to_o gain_v a_o clear_a and_o distinct_a knowledge_n of_o the_o particular_a duty_n of_o religion_n it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o understand_v in_o general_n wherein_o true_a religion_n consist_v and_o to_o have_v right_a notion_n concern_v its_o obligation_n in_o general_a but_o we_o must_v also_o consider_v the_o particular_n of_o our_o duty_n and_o view_v they_o distinct_o under_o some_o proper_a head_n many_o there_o be_v who_o have_v right_a and_o true_a notion_n concern_v the_o nature_n of_o religion_n in_o general_n who_o understand_v well_o enough_o and_o be_v convince_v that_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v accept_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n be_v holiness_n of_o life_n and_o universal_a obedience_n to_o all_o his_o command_n who_o
