6.2_o bear_v you_o one_o another_o burden_n and_o so_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o law_n of_o love_n for_o that_o my_o brethren_n be_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n a_o new_a

of_o christ_n bear_v you_o one_o another_o burden_n which_o be_v a_o special_a act_n of_o love_n and_o so_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o the_o moral_a law_n you_o see_v my_o brethren_n be_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v please_v to_o own_o it_o and_o to_o call_v it_o his_o commandment_n john_n 15.12_o to_o fortify_v it_o with_o his_o own_o authority_n as_o in_o the_o sermon_n on_o the_o mount_n and_o to_o impose_v the_o precept_n of_o it_o on_o the_o people_n and_o that_o this_o moral_a law_n be_v universal_a and_o extend_v to_o all_o flesh_n appear_v by_o this_o that_o it_o be_v not_o impose_v alone_o upon_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n but_o on_o the_o very_a heathen_a too_o upon_o the_o king_n and_o prince_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o you_o may_v see_v psal_n 2.2_o the_o king_n and_o prince_n of_o the_o earth_n set_v themselves_o and_o the_o ruler_n take_v counsel_n together_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o

of_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o oblige_v not_o the_o jew_n alone_o but_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o no_o marvel_n though_o they_o both_o conspire_v together_o to_o rid_v themselves_o of_o these_o bond_n the_o heathen_a rage_n the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n imagine_v the_o king_n and_o ruler_n not_o of_o jew_n only_o but_o of_o all_o the_o earth_n stand_v up_o and_o say_v let_v we_o break_v these_o bond_n asunder_o and_o cast_v away_o these_o cord_n from_o we_o these_o bond_n and_o cord_n which_o be_v impose_v and_o lay_v upon_o we_o all_o with_o which_o we_o all_o of_o we_o do_v find_v ourselves_o restrain_v and_o bind_v that_o be_v the_o precept_n and_o commandment_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n so_o that_o you_o see_v christ_n by_o his_o legislative_a power_n give_v law_n to_o all_o flesh_n as_o to_o the_o outward_a man_n and_o to_o the_o member_n he_o give_v law_n to_o all_o flesh_n as_o to_o the_o inward_a man_n and_o to_o the_o conscience_n the_o law_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v spiritual_a as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n tell_v we_o rom._n 7.14_o not_o only_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o but_o also_o in_o the_o

singular_a and_o manife_v such_o authority_n as_o no_o one_o exercise_v but_o himself_o it_o be_v true_a that_o man_n do_v oftentimes_o give_v law_n unto_o the_o outward_a man_n and_o to_o the_o member_n in_o politic_a and_o civil_a thing_n and_o then_o they_o do_v it_o too_o as_o christ_n vicegerent_n and_o his_o deputy_n they_o do_v it_o under_o he_o and_o by_o authority_n from_o he_o but_o it_o be_v christ_n and_o he_o alone_o that_o give_v law_n unto_o the_o conscience_n in_o holy_a and_o religious_a thing_n he_o delegate_n the_o former_a power_n to_o magistrate_n who_o in_o the_o same_o respect_n be_v style_v the_o minister_n of_o christ_n but_o this_o authority_n he_o make_v not_o over_o to_o any_o of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o he_o exercise_v this_o authority_n over_o all_o the_o son_n of_o man_n so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o they_o exempt_v from_o his_o power_n as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o legislative_a power_n so_o a_o judiciary_n power_n as_o he_o have_v a_o legislative_a power_n to_o give_v law_n so_o a_o judiciary_n power_n to_o execute_v the_o law_n that_o he_o have_v give_v and_o this_o be_v universal_a too_o my_o brethren_n as_o the_o other_o be_v as_o he_o give_v his_o law_n to_o all_o so_o he_o execute_v his_o law_n on_o all_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v call_v a_o judge_n very_o often_o in_o the_o scripture_n i_o need_v not_o give_v you_o instance_n for_o they_o be_v know_v yea_o he_o be_v style_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o and_o not_o alone_o of_o all_o that_o be_v alive_a but_o even_o of_o those_o that_o be_v depart_v and_o decease_v as_o you_o may_v see_v that_o place_n for_o instance_n act_v 10.42_o where_o he_o be_v style_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o dead_a it_o be_v true_a that_o other_o judge_n in_o the_o world_n can_v judge_v the_o quick_a they_o can_v deal_v well_o enough_o with_o those_o that_o be_v alive_a but_o if_o they_o die_v they_o be_v go_v out_o of_o their_o hand_n for_o ever_o but_o jesus_n christ_n be_v judge_n of_o all_o flesh_n quick_a flesh_n and_o dead_a flesh_n judge_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a too_o death_n can_v rescue_v man_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n no_o my_o belove_a he_o can_v pursue_v they_o to_o eternity_n and_o follow_v they_o into_o another_o world_n and_o there_o can_v execute_v the_o rigour_n of_o his_o wrath_n upon_o they_o to_o the_o very_a utmost_a and_o as_o he_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o person_n so_o he_o be_v judge_n of_o all_o case_n all_o judgement_n be_v commit_v to_o he_o not_o some_o but_o all_o judgement_n job_n 5.22_o whether_o the_o case_n be_v manifest_a and_o open_a or_o whether_o it_o be_v hide_v and_o secret_a all_o be_v one_o christ_n be_v judge_n of_o both_o these_o and_o this_o be_v singular_a to_o jesus_n christ_n man_n can_v do_v nothing_o in_o a_o case_n that_o be_v absolute_o secret_a if_o a_o murder_n be_v commit_v and_o nothing_o be_v discover_v any_o way_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o by_o a_o circumstance_n or_o by_o some_o ground_n of_o strong_a suspicion_n what_o can_v a_o earthly_a judge_n do_v he_o know_v the_o law_n be_v break_v but_o yet_o he_o can_v execute_v the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n because_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o discover_v the_o offender_n now_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o to_o seek_v in_o such_o case_n to_o he_o all_o thing_n be_v naked_a and_o uncovered_a and_o therefore_o he_o bring_v every_o work_n to_o judgement_n and_o every_o secret_a thing_n eccl._n 12.14_o and_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o of_o a_o day_n when_o god_n shall_v judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n by_o jesus_n christ_n according_a to_o his_o gospel_n rom._n 2.16_o so_o that_o you_o see_v no_o flesh_n can_v escape_v his_o judgement_n let_v the_o man_n be_v what_o he_o will_v and_o let_v the_o cause_n be_v what_o it_o will_n now_o this_o judiciary_n power_n of_o christ_n consist_v of_o two_o thing_n in_o pass_v sentence_n upon_o all_o flesh_n in_o execute_v the_o sentence_n after_o it_o be_v past_a a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o these_o in_o order_n christ_n have_v the_o power_n of_o pass_a sentence_n upon_o all_o flesh_n all_o mankind_n be_v under_o his_o

their_o last_o doom_n either_o of_o absolution_n or_o condemnation_n sometime_o he_o pass_v sentence_n on_o they_o in_o the_o court_n of_o conscience_n here_o he_o seal_v up_o man_n condemnation_n to_o they_o and_o make_v it_o to_o become_v a_o certain_a thing_n they_o be_v condemn_v already_o in_o themselves_o and_o there_o remain_v nothing_o to_o they_o but_o a_o certain_a look_v for_o of_o

the_o dead_a both_o great_a and_o small_a appear_v before_o he_o and_o receive_v a_o sentence_n from_o he_o either_o the_o one_o way_n or_o the_o other_o as_o you_o may_v see_v apoc._n 20.12_o and_o as_o he_o have_v the_o power_n of_o pass_v so_o the_o power_n of_o execute_v sentence_n upon_o all_o flesh_n all_o mankind_n be_v under_o his_o authority_n in_o

choose_v you_o out_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o world_n hate_v you_o to_o open_v this_o a_o little_a further_o to_o you_o because_o it_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n of_o the_o doctrine_n

of_o those_o who_o be_v dead_a with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n paul_n insinuate_v col._n 2.20_o if_o you_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n say_v he_o as_o that_o
