A41355	The marrow of modern divinity touching both the covenant of works, and the covenant of grace, with their use and end, both in the time of the Old Testament, and in the time of the New : wherein every one may cleerly see how far forth he bringeth the law into the case of justification, and so deserverh the name of legalist : and how far forth he rejecteth the law, in the case of sanctification, and so deserveth the name of Antinomist : with the middle path between them both, which by Iesus Christ leadeth to eternall life : in a dialogue, betwixt Evangelista, a minister of the Gospel, Nomista, a legalist, Antinomista, an Antinomian, and Neophytus, a young Christian / by the author, E.F. ; before the which there is prefixed the commendatory epistles of divers divines of great esteem in the citie of London ; whereunto is also added, the substance of a	Fisher, Edward, fl. 1627-1655.; Hamilton, Patrick, 1504?-1528.

of_o christ._n ant._n i_o think_v indeed_o they_o have_v do_v so_o touch_v some_o of_o the_o commandment_n but_o not_o touch_v all_o evan._n because_o you_o say_v so_o i_o entreat_v you_o to_o

heaven_n and_o happiness_n whereupon_o i_o conclude_v that_o i_o have_v as_o yet_o do_v no_o more_o than_o they_o and_o withal_o i_o consider_v that_o our_o saviour_n say_v 5.20_o except_o your_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n you_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n yea_o and_o i_o also_o consider_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o be_v not_o a_o jew_n that_o be_v one_o outward_a but_o he_o that_o be_v one_o within_o who_o praise_n be_v not_o of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n then_o do_v i_o conclude_v that_o i_o be_v not_o yet_o a_o true_a christian_a for_o say_v i_o in_o my_o heart_n i_o have_v content_v myself_o with_o the_o praise_n of_o man_n and_o so_o have_v lose_v all_o my_o labour_n and_o pain_n in_o perform_v duty_n for_o they_o have_v be_v no_o better_o than_o outside_n performance_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v all_o fall_v down_o in_o a_o moment_n i_o have_v not_o serve_v god_n with_o all_o my_o heart_n and_o therefore_o i_o see_v i_o must_v either_o go_v far_o or_o else_o i_o shall_v never_o be_v happy_a whereupon_o i_o set_v about_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o law_n in_o good_a earnest_n and_o labour_v to_o perform_v duty_n not_o only_o outward_o but_o also_o inward_o from_o my_o heart_n i_o hear_v and_o read_v and_o pray_v and_o labour_v to_o bring_v my_o heart_n and_o force_v my_o soul_n to_o every_o duty_n i_o call_v upon_o the_o lord_n in_o good_a earnest_n and_o tell_v he_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o will_v have_v i_o to_o do_v i_o will_v do_v it_o with_o all_o my_o heart_n if_o he_o will_v but_o save_v my_o soul_n and_o then_o i_o also_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o inward_a corruption_n of_o my_o heart_n the_o which_o i_o have_v not_o former_o do_v and_o be_v careful_a to_o govern_v my_o thought_n to_o modeate_v my_o passion_n and_o to_o suppress_v the_o motion_n and_o rise_n of_o lust_n to_o banish_v privy_a pride_n and_o speculative_a wantonness_n and_o all_o vain_a and_o sinful_a desire_n of_o my_o heart_n and_o then_o i_o think_v myself_o not_o only_o a_o outside_n christian_n but_o also_o a_o inside_n christian_n and_o therefore_o a_o true_a christian_a indeed_o and_o so_o i_o go_v on_o comfortable_o a_o good_a while_n till_o i_o consider_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n require_v passive_a obedience_n as_o well_o as_o active_a and_o therefore_o i_o must_v be_v a_o sufferer_n as_o well_o as_o a_o doer_n or_o else_o i_o can_v not_o be_v a_o christian_a indeed_o whereupon_o i_o begin_v to_o be_v trouble_v at_o my_o impatience_n under_o god_n correct_v hand_n and_o at_o those_o inward_a murmur_n and_o discontent_n which_o i_o find_v in_o my_o spirit_n in_o time_n of_o any_o outward_a calamity_n that_o befall_v i_o and_o then_o i_o labour_v to_o bridle_v my_o passion_n and_o to_o submit_v myself_o quiet_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o every_o condition_n and_o then_o do_v i_o also_o as_o it_o be_v begin_v to_o take_v penance_n upon_o myself_o by_o abstinence_n fast_v and_o afflict_v my_o soul_n and_o make_v pitiful_a lamentation_n in_o my_o prayer_n which_o be_v sometime_o also_o accompany_v with_o tear_n the_o which_o i_o be_v persuade_v the_o lord_n do_v take_v notice_n of_o and_o will_v reward_v i_o for_o it_o and_o then_o i_o be_v persuade_v that_o i_o do_v keep_v the_o law_n in_o yield_a obedience_n both_o active_o and_o passive_o and_o then_o be_v i_o confident_a i_o be_v a_o true_a christian_a until_o i_o consider_v tha●_n those_o jew_n of_o who_o the_o lord_n complain_v isaiah_n 58._o do_v as_o much_o as_o i_o and_o that_o cause_v i_o to_o fear_v that_o all_o be_v not_o right_a with_o i_o as_o yet_o whereupon_o i_o go_v to_o another_o minister_n and_o tell_v he_o that_o though_o i_o have_v do_v thus_o and_o thus_o and_o suffer_v thus_o and_o thus_o yet_o i_o be_v persuade_v that_o i_o be_v in_o no_o better_a a_o condition_n then_o those_o jew_n o_o yes_o say_v he_o you_o be_v in_o a_o better_a

course_n of_o do_v and_o suffer_v and_o think_v all_o be_v well_o with_o i_o until_o i_o bethink_v myself_o that_o before_o the_o time_n of_o my_o conversion_n i_o have_v be_v a_o transgressor_n from_o the_o womb_n yea_o in_o the_o womb_n in_o that_o i_o be_v guilty_a of_o adam_n transgression_n so_o than_o i_o consider_v that_o although_o i_o keep_v even_o with_o god_n for_o the_o time_n present_a and_o to_o come_v yet_o that_o will_v not_o free_v m●_n from_o the_o guiltiness_n of_o that_o which_o wa●_n do_v before_o whereupon_o i_o be_v much_o trouble_v and_o disquiet_v in_o my_o

cheer_v i_o up_o bid_v i_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n for_o howsoever_o my_o obedience_n since_o my_o conversion_n will_v not_o satisfy_v for_o my_o former_a sin_n yet_o in_o as_o much_o as_o at_o my_o conversion_n i_o have_v confess_v lament_v deplore_a bewail_v and_o forsake_v they_o god_n according_a to_o his_o rich_a mercy_n and_o gracious_a promise_n have_v merciful_o pardon_v and_o

do_n action_n and_o deal_n both_o with_o god_n and_o man_n but_o after_o a_o while_o i_o grow_v better_o acquaint_v with_o the_o spiritualnesse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o with_o inward_a corruption_n of_o my_o own_o heart_n i_o perceive_v that_o i_o have_v deceive_v myself_o in_o think_v that_o i_o have_v keep_v the_o law_n perfect_o for_o do_v what_o i_o can_v i_o find_v many_o imperfection_n in_o my_o obedience_n for_o i_o have_v be_v and_o be_v still_o subject_a to_o sleepiness_n drowsiness_n and_o heaviness_n in_o prayer_n and_o hear_n and_o so_o in_o other_o duty_n i_o fail_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o performance_n of_o they_o and_o in_o the_o end_n why_o i_o perform_v they_o seek_v myself_o in_o every_o thing_n i_o do_v and_o my_o conscience_n tell_v i_o i_o fail_v in_o my_o duty_n to_o god_n in_o this_o and_o in_o my_o duty_n to_o my_o neighbour_n in_o that_o and_o then_o i_o be_v much_o trouble_v again_o for_o i_o consider_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n require_v and_o be_v not_o satisfy_v without_o a_o exact_a and_o perfect_a obedience_n and_o then_o i_o go_v to_o the_o same_o minister_n again_o and_o tell_v he_o how_o i_o have_v purpose_v promise_a strive_v and_o
