A64243	The true light shining in darkness and dispelling the mists of errour arising from the darkness of man's heart, &c. promoted by the prince of darkness against the truth of God; in the matter of our justification: shewing, that by the deeds of the law, or mans own righteousness, no flesh can or shall be justified in the sight of God. The first part. By Tho. Taylor, the meanest and unworthiest of the servants and ministers of Jesus Christ; and now pastor to a small congregational church in Cambridge.	Taylor, Thomas, 1618-1682.	1693 (1693)	Wing T559; ESTC R219692	113,014	241

1_o argument_n it_o be_v most_o plain_a from_o the_o context_v v_o 19_o that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o law_n by_o whic●_n every_o mouth_n be_v stop_v and_o all_o the_o world_n i●_n become_v guilty_a before_o god_n now_o the_o gentile_n can_v not_o have_v their_o mouth_n stop_v and_o become_v guilty_a before_o god_n by_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n for_o the_o gentile_n have_v no_o knowledge_n o●_n the_o ceremonial_a law_n neither_o can_v they_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o light_n or_o law_n of_o nature_n direct_v they_o to_o any_o such_o law_n nor_o be_v the_o gentile_n under_o any_o obligation_n unto_o that_o law_n otherwise_o than_o as_o any_o of_o they_o be_v proseylite_n to_o the_o jewish_a church_n neither_o can_v their_o conscience_n either_o accuse_v or_o excuse_v they_o in_o observe_v or_o not_o observe_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n they_o can_v have_v no_o conscience_n of_o sin_n in_o that_o respect_n for_o where_o no_o law_n be_v there_o be_v no_o transgression_n but_o the_o moral_a law_n they_o have_v the_o work_n of_o it_o write_v in_o their_o heart_n as_o rom._n 2.14_o 15._o do_v bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o very_a gentile_n and_o do_v leave_v they_o without_o excuse_n before_o god_n as_o have_v be_v already_o prove_v rom._n 1.19_o 20_o 21._o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chap._n so_o that_o it_o be_v the_o moral_a law_n only_o by_o which_o every_o mouth_n be_v stop_v and_o all_o the_o world_n i._n e._n both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n be_v become_v guilty_a before_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n only_o but_o the_o moral_a law_n principal_o of_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v when_o he_o say_v as_o in_o the_o text_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n there_o shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v in_o his_o sight_n 2_o argu._n it_o be_v also_o as_o plain_a from_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o this_o text_n that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o law_n by_o which_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n bring_v it_o in_o immediate_o and_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o breath_n for_o by_o the_o law_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n therefore_o whilst_o the_o aposte_n say_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v in_o his_o sight_n and_o then_o add_v that_o by_o the_o law_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v plain_a what_o law_n he_o mean_v namely_o the_o same_o law_n by_o which_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n now_o the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o by_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n for_o though_o in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n there_o be_v a_o acknowledgement_n of_o sin_n in_o that_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n wash_n and_o typical_a service_n do_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v and_o every_o man_n attend_v the_o service_n of_o that_o law_n do_v ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la acknowledge_v himself_o a_o sinner_n or_o else_o to_o what_o end_n be_v his_o sacrifice_n if_o he_o have_v no_o sin_n to_o be_v purge_v yet_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n neither_o do_v nor_o can_v convince_v the_o conscience_n and_o show_v a_o man_n wherein_o he_o have_v sin_v for_o this_o be_v the_o peculiar_a work_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o the_o light_n thereof_o shine_v in_o the_o conscience_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 7.7_o nay_o i_o have_v not_o know_v sin_n but_o by_o the_o law_n for_o i_o have_v not_o know_v lust_n except_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v now_o the_o law_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v be_v not_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o exod_a 20.17_o and_o therefore_o the_o text_n must_v be_v interpret_v and_o understand_v not_o of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n only_o but_o also_o and_o more_o especial_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o as_o much_o as_o by_o this_o law_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n and_o by_o this_o law_n every_o mouth_n be_v stop_v and_o all_o the_o world_n become_v guilty_a before_o god_n so_o that_o justification_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n be_v deny_v to_o man_n not_o only_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o also_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o a_o man_n can_v no_o more_o be_v justify_v now_o by_o good_a work_n either_o internal_a or_o external_n or_o both_o do_v in_o obedience_n and_o conformity_n to_o the_o moral_a law_n than_o the_o jew_n than_o be_v by_o their_o observance_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a and_o as_o it_o become_v sin_n in_o the_o jew_n to_o seek_v justification_n and_o righteousness_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o moral_a law_n both_o and_o the_o stumble_a stone_n to_o their_o perdition_n and_o damnation_n as_o rom._n 9.31_o 32._o so_o it_o do_v as_o much_o now_o become_v sin_n to_o any_o man_n under_o heaven_n to_o seek_v righteousness_n and_o justification_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o they_o be_v or_o can_v be_v perform_v by_o he_o and_o if_o persist_v in_o will_v prove_v the_o stumble_a
