to_o show_v how_o far_o forth_o conscience_n be_v subject_a to_o that_o rule_n 1_o the_o first_o rule_n be_v this_o before_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o ceremonial_a law_n do_v bind_v the_o

from_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o overthrow_n of_o the_o jewish_a government_n the_o ceremonial_a law_n lose_v the_o force_n of_o bind_v and_o become_v a_o indifferent_a thing_n either_o to_o be_v use_v or_o not_o to_o be_v use_v hence_o it_o be_v that_o paul_n circumcise_v timothy_n but_o will_v not_o circumcise_v titus_n and_o the_o 15._o the_o act._n 15._o council_n at_o

of_o jews_n be_v make_v christian_n as_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o full_o understand_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n therefore_o for_o their_o weakness_n sake_n it_o be_v grant_v that_o they_o may_v use_v some_o jewish_a ceremony_n for_o a_o time_n rule_n 3_o but_o three_o after_o the_o eversion_n of_o the_o jewish_a government_n and_o the_o promulgation_n of_o the_o gospel_n more_o

that_o none_o of_o the_o godly_a can_v allege_v their_o ignorance_n herein_o wherefore_o very_o well_o say_v the_o school_n mortiferae_fw-la school_n leges_fw-la ceremoniales_fw-la iam_fw-la

how_o the_o gospel_n bind_v now_o we_o will_v see_v how_o the_o gospel_n bind_v the_o conscience_n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o which_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o those_o that_o be_v not_o
call_v but_o only_o of_o they_o that_o be_v call_v that_o it_o do_v not_o bind_v the_o uncalled_a it_o be_v plain_a because_o as_o they_o which_o sin_n without_o the_o law_n shall_v perish_v without_o the_o law_n 2.12_o law_n rom._n 2.12_o so_o they_o which_o sin_n without_o the_o gospel_n shall_v perish_v without_o the_o gospel_n but_o they_o which_o perish_v without_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o bind_v by_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o the_o uncalled_a be_v not_o bind_v by_o the_o gospel_n second_o that_o it_o bind_v these_o that_o be_v call_v i_o mean_v separate_v from_o pagan_n and_o infidel_n it_o be_v manifest_a also_o by_o this_o reason_n all_o those_o that_o be_v call_v shall_v be_v judge_v at_o the_o last_o day_n by_o the_o gospel_n as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v rom._n 2.16_o

therefore_o the_o gospel_n bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o call_v quest_n but_o what_o do_v it_o bind_v they_o unto_o answ_n to_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o justification_n salvation_n special_a providence_n and_o love_n object_n yea_o but_o hypocrite_n be_v call_v into_o the_o church_n and_o if_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v their_o salvation_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o

that_o they_o which_o be_v call_v into_o the_o church_n be_v not_o absolute_o bind_v to_o believe_v their_o own_o salvation_n but_o on_o this_o condition_n according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o

if_o we_o ponder_v these_o four_o rule_n law_n of_o man_n whither_o they_o be_v civil_a or_o ecclesiastical_a do_v bind_v the_o conscience_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n
