other_o be_v to_o be_v please_v with_o one_o that_o be_v a_o enemy_n before_o one_o that_o be_v against_o i_o that_o be_v now_o receive_v to_o favour_n so_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o brief_o some_o scripture_n to_o show_v you_o that_o the_o flesh_n be_v take_v in_o this_o sense_n now_o the_o main_a reason_n of_o it_o why_o i_o believe_v this_o to_o be_v the_o chief_a meaning_n of_o it_o be_v because_o that_o i_o see_v clear_o that_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a drift_n and_o scope_n of_o this_o epistle_n and_o if_o i_o may_v speak_v without_o disparagement_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o methodical_o lay_v down_o and_o this_o be_v speak_v to_o bring_v they_o from_o the_o way_n of_o work_n to_o the_o way_n of_o faith_n but_o i_o hasten_v why_o do_v the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v walk_v after_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o after_o the_o law_n walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o other_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v so_o great_a affinity_n and_o nearness_n between_o walk_v legal_o and_o walk_v sinful_o that_o they_o be_v promiscuous_o in_o scripture_n take_v one_o for_o another_o for_o let_v a_o man_n walk_v and_o endeavour_v and_o do_v his_o best_a according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o not_o by_o the_o gospel_n he_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o walk_v sinful_o and_o carnal_o there_o be_v no_o help_n for_o it_o if_o he_o be_v under_o the_o law_n sin_n will_v have_v dominion_n over_o he_o and_o if_o he_o go_v after_o the_o flesh_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o flesh_n will_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n sin_n and_o the_o law_n be_v as_o it_o be_v of_o so_o near_o a_o kin_n that_o the_o law_n make_v sin_n more_o sinful_a and_o the_o more_o a_o man_n strive_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n the_o more_o he_o sin_n the_o apostle_n bring_v it_o so_o near_o that_o people_n be_v ready_a to_o speak_v nonsense_n that_o the_o law_n be_v sin_n he_o prevent_v the_o objection_n be_v the_o law_n sin_n o_o no_o faith_n he_o sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n so_o that_o a_o man_n that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o spite_n of_o his_o heart_n he_o shall_v walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o lust_n of_o nature_n he_o can_v never_o walk_v holy_o let_v he_o do_v what_o he_o can_v a_o second_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v call_v flesh_n be_v in_o allusion_n to_o the_o two_o son_n of_o abraham_n as_o we_o see_v in_o gal._n 4._o 21._o the_o apostle_n there_o speak_v of_o these_o two_o covenant_n he_o say_v abraham_n have_v two_o son_n the_o one_o by_o a_o bondmaid_n the_o other_o by_o a_o free_a woman_n but_o he_o who_o be_v of_o the_o bondwoman_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n but_o he_o of_o the_o free_a woman_n be_v by_o promise_n which_o thing_n be_v a_o allegory_n or_o a_o comparison_n for_o these_o be_v the_o two_o covenant_n the_o one_o from_o mount_n sinai_n which_o gender_v to_o bondage_n which_o be_v agar_n for_o this_o agar_n be_v mount_n sinai_n in_o arabia_n and_o answer_v to_o jerusalem_n which_o now_o be_v and_o be_v in_o bondage_n with_o her_o child_n but_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v above_o be_v free_a which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o we_o all_o he_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o old_a covenant_n be_v to_o be_v do_v away_o agar_n be_v to_o be_v throw_v out_o with_o her_o child_n he_o prove_v that_o those_o two_o son_n of_o abraham_n ishmael_n and_o isaac_n be_v type_n of_o the_o two_o covenant_n that_o god_n make_v with_o mankind_n the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n now_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n he_o compare_v to_o ishmael_n that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n as_o other_o child_n be_v abraham_n go_v in_o to_o hagar_n and_o she_o conceive_v and_o bear_v a_o child_n as_o other_o woman_n but_o isaac_n be_v not_o bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n all_o fleshly_a way_n can_v not_o produce_v isaac_n he_o be_v a_o child_n of_o promise_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n breathe_v in_o the_o promise_n and_o work_v mighty_o in_o abraham_n and_o sarah_n isaac_n be_v produce_v this_o be_v a_o allegory_n there_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n that_o you_o think_v not_o of_o when_o you_o read_v of_o ishmael_n and_o isaac_n by_o ishmael_n be_v mean_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o principle_n of_o it_o and_o the_o practitioner_n of_o it_o and_o they_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n as_o ishmael_n do_v and_o by_o isaac_n be_v mean_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o those_o that_o go_v that_o way_n be_v child_n of_o the_o promise_n as_o isaac_n be_v so_o god_n have_v set_v this_o comparison_n and_o i_o conceive_v the_o apostle_n allude_v to_o it_o and_o call_v it_o a_o walk_a according_a to_o the_o flesh_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v thou_o shall_v never_o have_v this_o righteousness_n by_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o father_n ishmael_n by_o mount_n sinai_n in_o arabia_n by_o walk_v in_o the_o law_n to_o turn_v away_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o if_o thou_o will_v get_v this_o righteousness_n thou_o must_v walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n thou_o must_v get_v the_o spirit_n and_o be_v a_o child_n of_o promise_n the_o three_o and_o last_o reason_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v why_o it_o be_v call_v walk_v according_o to_o the_o flesh_n be_v because_o of_o weakness_n for_o flesh_n be_v put_v for_o weakness_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v they_o be_v flesh_n and_o not_o spirit_n that_o be_v they_o be_v poor_a weak_a thing_n so_o those_o that_o walk_v in_o that_o way_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v weak_a creature_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o wish_v and_o would_v and_o covenant_v and_o promise_v and_o protest_v and_o vex_v and_o fret_v but_o there_o be_v no_o strength_n now_o one_o saint_n that_o be_v true_o plant_v in_o christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n have_v true_o take_v place_n in_o his_o heart_n he_o have_v more_o strength_n than_o five_o hundred_o of_o the_o other_o say_v paul_n i_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n i_o can_v want_v and_o i_o can_v abound_v i_o can_v go_v to_o prison_n free_o i_o can_v rejoice_v with_o they_o that_o rejoice_v and_o mourn_v with_o they_o that_o mourn_v because_o the_o same_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o christ_n and_o work_v effectual_o the_o same_o spirit_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o work_n in_o we_o therefore_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o they_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v they_o that_o go_v after_o the_o law_n they_o be_v weak_a they_o tug_v and_o be_v never_o the_o near_a heaven_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v live_v a_o thousand_o year_n they_o will_v be_v no_o better_o but_o wisher_n and_o woulder_n and_o say_v i_o have_v a_o good_a desire_n to_o do_v as_o the_o preacher_n say_v but_o i_o have_v no_o power_n use_v let_v i_o conclude_v with_o one_o word_n of_o use_n from_o all_o this_o that_o have_v be_v say_v which_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v consider_v of_o from_o this_o doctrine_n thus_o open_v you_o may_v hence_o see_v the_o say_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n verify_v and_o make_v good_a that_o few_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n doubtless_o paul_n do_v not_o look_v on_o sinner_n and_o saint_n as_o we_o do_v we_o account_v every_o professor_n let_v his_o principle_n be_v what_o they_o will_v either_o from_o the_o first_o or_o second_o adam_n if_o he_o begin_v to_o leave_v sin_n and_o to_o perform_v duty_n we_o account_v he_o a_o good_a man_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o judge_v he_o will_v look_v further_o and_o examine_v we_o and_o will_v i_o fear_v find_v abundance_n that_o shall_v never_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n even_o of_o those_o that_o follow_v good_a old_a adam_n i_o mean_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o professor_n that_o have_v leave_v corrupt_a adam_n in_o his_o grossness_n and_o follow_v good_a old_a adam_n that_o be_v a_o sprig_n from_o that_o they_o

old_a adam_n one_o or_o other_o of_o which_o fleshly_a man_n do_v whole_o mind_n to_o these_o three_o head_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v to_o establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n to_o procure_v to_o themselves_o justification_n by_o their_o work_n this_o be_v the_o masterpiece_n of_o old_a adam_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o man_n be_v more_o prone_a to_o this_o then_o to_o sin_n though_o he_o be_v prone_a to_o that_o also_o and_o old_a adam_n work_v strong_a towards_o his_o righteousness_n such_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o forbid_a way_n then_o to_o sin_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v rom._n 10._o 3._o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n righteousness_n go_v about_o to_o establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n he_o speak_v there_o of_o the_o jew_n the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a be_v they_o go_v to_o make_v it_o stand_v just_a as_o a_o totter_a house_n that_o every_o blast_n be_v ready_a to_o throw_v down_o and_o it_o must_v be_v underprop_v on_o this_o side_n and_o on_o that_o side_n to_o keep_v it_o up_o so_o every_o fleshly_a man_n in_o the_o world_n this_o be_v half_a his_o work_n to_o make_v the_o babel_n of_o his_o own_o righteousness_n to_o stand_v he_o be_v always_o piece_v and_o patch_v and_o do_v some_o good_a work_n he_o be_v wish_v and_o would_v or_o in_o some_o fashion_n or_o other_o to_o make_v up_o a_o good_a estate_n against_o the_o latter_a day_n therefore_o that_o be_v the_o question_n act_v 2._o and_o luke_n 3._o and_o it_o be_v the_o grand_a question_n of_o all_o mankind_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o be_v save_v and_o we_o see_v when_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n it_o be_v always_o with_o this_o master_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v to_o be_v save_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o know_v it_o must_v be_v by_o do_v and_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o go_v about_o it_o to_o frame_v some_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n or_o other_o therefore_o in_o joh._n 6._o say_v they_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o work_v the_o work_n of_o eternal_a life_n say_v christ_n this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o believe_v he_o take_v they_o off_o now_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n whereby_o you_o may_v know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o fleshly_a man_n and_o to_o mind_n fleshly_a thing_n when_o people_n mind_n and_o cast_v project_n and_o way_n to_o procure_v righteousness_n to_o themselves_o or_o justification_n to_o their_o soul_n any_o other_o way_n then_o only_o by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n man_n may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v drink_v sometime_o and_o mind_n neither_o heaven_n nor_o hell_n but_o there_o be_v no_o fleshly_a carnal_a man_n when_o he_o be_v his_o own_o man_n but_o he_o think_v there_o be_v some_o good_a work_n or_o other_o that_o he_o must_v do_v either_o give_v or_o lend_v or_o build_v a_o alms-house_n

of_o the_o law_n that_o scripture_n set_v out_o the_o way_n of_o those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n now_o the_o way_n of_o the_o law_n be_v the_o same_o as_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o faith_n he_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n say_v on_o this_o wise_a that_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o the_o way_n of_o faith_n so_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o we_o hear_v of_o a_o glorious_a privilege_n that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o and_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v get_v it_o by_o his_o own_o work_n or_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n no_o not_o abraham_n himself_o but_o it_o be_v mere_o by_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o if_o any_o of_o you_o think_v to_o have_v this_o righteousness_n fulfil_v in_o he_o and_o go_v in_o the_o old_a way_n to_o mount_n sinai_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n he_o be_v deceive_v he_o shall_v never_o have_v it_o but_o by_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n no_o man_n can_v enjoy_v this_o privilege_n by_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n by_o their_o own_o do_v by_o seek_v to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n by_o their_o own_o righteousness_n but_o they_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v do_v not_o mistake_v i_o it_o be_v a_o great_a privilege_n to_o have_v the_o law_n fulfil_v for_o you_o but_o it_o be_v not_o by_o your_o own_o strictness_n and_o zeal_n and_o though_o some_o of_o you_o go_v further_o than_o other_o yet_o none_o of_o you_o can_v attain_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n that_o way_n for_o all_o be_v come_v short_a rom._n 3._o but_o it_o be_v those_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v those_o that_o seek_v it_o in_o a_o way_n of_o faith_n in_o another_o not_o in_o themselves_o those_o that_o seek_v it_o according_a to_o the_o principle_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o because_o i_o know_v this_o exposition_n be_v harsh_a to_o many_o of_o you_o though_o i_o exclude_v not_o the_o other_o therefore_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o three_o thing_n first_o i_o will_v prove_v clear_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n that_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n second_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o reason_n why_o that_o be_v the_o chief_a meaning_n three_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o few_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o they_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o they_o that_o go_v according_a to_o the_o way_n of_o faith_n walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n concern_v the_o first_o that_o flesh_n be_v often_o take_v clear_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o will_v give_v you_o some_o place_n of_o scripture_n gal._n 3._o 3_o this_o i_o will_v learn_v of_o you_o receive_v you_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o by_o the_o hear_n of_o faith_n be_v you_o so_o foolish_a that_o have_v begin_v in_o the_o spirit_n be_v you_o now_o make_v perfect_a in_o the_o flesh_n we_o see_v in_o chap._n 1._o they_o be_v call_v to_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n through_o the_o gospel_n gospel_n principle_n be_v right_o and_o

have_v have_v christ_n crucify_v among_o you_o that_o now_o you_o will_v be_v make_v perfect_a by_o the_o flesh_n that_o now_o you_o will_v go_v and_o seek_v justification_n by_o your_o own_o work_n and_o go_v about_o to_o keep_v the_o law_n etc._n etc._n another_o place_n be_v in_o phil._n 3._o 4._o though_o i_o may_v also_o have_v confidence_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o then_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o privilege_n of_o a_o israelite_n and_o if_o you_o look_v further_o ver_fw-la 7._o i_o count_v all_o these_o loss_n that_o i_o may_v win_v christ_n and_o be_v find_v in_o he_o not_o have_v my_o own_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o which_o be_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n so_o by_o the_o flesh_n he_o mean_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n which_o he_o throw_v away_o for_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o faith_n take_v another_o place_n rom._n 10._o 5._o compare_v with_o rom._n 6._o 14._o say_v the_o apostle_n sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o you_o for_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n when_o you_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n sin_n have_v dominion_n over_o you_o and_o you_o obey_v it_o here_o be_v a_o parallel_a place_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n when_o you_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n the_o motion_n of_o sin_n by_o the_o law_n do_v work_v in_o your_o member_n when_o you_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v when_o you_o be_v under_o the_o law_n than_o the_o motion_n of_o sin_n do_v work_v but_o now_o sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o you_o because_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n you_o be_v not_o in_o the_o flesh_n you_o do_v not_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o i_o suppose_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o scripture_n 2_o pet._n 2._o 10._o the_o lord_n know_v how_o to_o deliver_v the_o godly_a and_o to_o reserve_v the_o wicked_a to_o be_v punish_v but_o chief_o those_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o

every_o man_n natural_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n so_o in_o this_o text_n who_o walk_v not_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n and_o in_o ver_fw-la 8._o of_o this_o chapter_n they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n can_v please_v god_n now_o i_o shall_v open_v that_o by_o another_o scripture_n heb._n 11._o 5._o where_o it_o say_v that_o enoch_n please_v

to_o please_v god_n now_o he_o that_o walk_v in_o the_o flesh_n can_v please_v god_n why_o so_o he_o that_o go_v not_o in_o the_o way_n of_o faith_n by_o jesus_n christ_n he_o can_v please_v god_n
