jesus_n by_o the_o adverbe_n again_o we_o gather_v that_o the_o law_n be_v here_o compare_v with_o the_o gospel_n because_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o his_o come_n bring_v unto_o we_o this_o

of_o adoption_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n or_o that_o who_o so_o receive_v the_o law_n be_v servant_n and_o not_o son_n for_o he_o do_v rather_o compare_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o law_n with_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o person_n with_o person_n in_o deed_n i_o confess_v that_o the_o faithful_a be_v admonish_v here_o how_o much_o more_o liberal_o god_n have_v now_o deal_v with_o they_o than_o he_o do_v in_o old_a time_n with_o the_o father_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n yet_o he_o respect_v the_o external_a dispensation_n in_o respect_n whereof_o only_o

schoolmistress_n they_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v unto_o that_o liberty_n which_o be_v open_v unto_o us._n and_o also_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o i_o have_v purposely_o because_o of_o false_a apostle_n put_v a_o antithesis_fw-la or_o contrariety_n between_o the_o literal_a disciple_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o faithful_a who_o christ_n the_o heavenly_a master_n do_v not_o only_o speak_v unto_o with_o sound_n of_o mouth_n but_o also_o inwardly_o do_v teach_v effectual_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o although_o the_o covenaunt_n of_o grace_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n yet_o he_o remove_v it_o thence_o because_o oppose_v the_o gospel_n he_o consider_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o law_n namely_o to_o bid_v and_o forbid_v and_o by_o the_o denounce_v of_o death_n to_o bridle_v sinner_n and_o so_o he_o give_v unto_o the_o law_n law_n what_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o law_n that_o quality_n whereby_o it_o differ_v from_o the_o gospel_n or_o if_o any_o have_v rather_o he_o propound_v the_o bare_a law_n as_o god_n therein_o covenant_v with_o we_o in_o respect_n of_o work_n thus_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o think_v of_o the_o person_n among_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n when_o the_o law_n be_v publish_v &_o also_o after_o it_o be_v publish_v the_o godly_a be_v illuminate_v with_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o faith_n &_o therefore_o the_o

more_o abundant_o &_o plentiful_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n but_o if_o thou_o have_v regard_n unto_o the_o dispensation_n of_o doctrine_n salvation_n shall_v seem_v to_o have_v be_v then_o for_o a_o surety_n first_o manifest_v when_o christ_n be_v exhibit_v in_o the_o flesh_n with_o such_o obscurity_n be_v all_o thing_n cover_v under_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o comparison_n of_o that_o light_n be_v under_o the_o gospel_n furthermore_o if_o the_o law_n be_v consider_v in_o itself_o it_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o bind_v man_n that_o be_v subject_a to_o miserable_a servitude_n with_o the_o horror_n of_o death_n because_o it_o promise_v no_o good_a thing_n but_o with_o condition_n and_o it_o denounce_v death_n against_o all_o transgressor_n wherefore_o as_o under_o the_o law_n there_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n which_o press_v the_o conscience_n with_o fear_n so_o under_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n which_o cheer_v our_o soul_n with_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o observe_v that_o fear_n be_v join_v to_o bondage_n because_o it_o can_v not_o otherwise_o be_v but_o the_o law_n shall_v with_o wonderful_a disquietness_n vex_v and_o torment_v our_o soul_n so_o long_o as_o it_o exercise_v his_o power_n bondage_n how_o fear_n be_v join_v with_o bondage_n wherefore_o there_o be_v no_o other_o remedy_n for_o the_o quiet_v of_o they_o then_o while_o god_n forgive_a our_o offence_n do_v favour_v we_o as_o a_o father_n his_o child_n by_o who_o we_o cry_v abba_n he_o have_v therefore_o change_v the_o

which_o may_v be_v translate_v to_o witness_v together_o if_o contestation_n be_v not_o somewhat_o else_o with_o the_o latins_n but_o paul_n mean_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v give_v unto_o

the_o other_o two_o who_o shall_v condemn_v it_o be_v god_n that_o justifi_v for_o the_o absolution_n or_o deliverance_n of_o god_n answer_v condemnation_n and_o the_o defence_n or_o supportation_n of_o christ_n answer_v accusation_n but_o paul_n not_o without_o cause_n have_v transpose_v they_o another_o way_n go_v about_o to_o arm_v the_o son_n of_o god_n from_o top_n to_o toe_n as_o they_o say_v with_o the_o confidence_n of_o god_n which_o may_v banish_v a_o far_o off_o anxiety_n &_o fear_n more_o emphatical_o therefore_o he_o gather_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o accusation_n because_o god_n do_v justify_v then_o if_o he_o have_v say_v because_o christ_n be_v their_o patron_n for_o so_o he_o express_v better_o how_o the_o way_n be_v far_o shut_v uppe_o to_o judgement_n where_o the_o judge_n do_v pronounce_v himself_o that_o he_o altogether_o exempt_v he_o from_o guiltiness_n who_o the_o accusator_fw-la will_v draw_v unto_o punishment_n and_o there_o be_v also_o the_o like_a reason_n of_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o antithesis_fw-la or_o contrariety_n for_o he_o show_v that_o the_o faithful_a be_v far_o from_o the_o peril_n of_o condemnation_n see_v christ_n by_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o their_o sin_n have_v prevent_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o by_o his_o intercession_n have_v not_o only_o abolish_v death_n but_o also_o put_v our_o sin_n out_o of_o rememenraunce_n that_o they_o come_v not_o into_o account_n the_o sum_n be_v that_o we_o be_v not_o only_o by_o the_o present_a remedy_n when_o we_o come_v unto_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o fear_n but_o god_n do_v help_v more_o that_o he_o may_v better_o provide_v for_o our_o confidence_n howbeit_o here_o we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o with_o i_o have_v always_o admonish_v of_o before_o this_o namely_o that_o to_o justify_v with_o paul_n be_v nothing_o else_o then_o be_v loose_v from_o the_o sentence_n of_o god_n justify_v what_o it_o be_v to_o justify_v to_o be_v count_v for_o just_a and_o it_o be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o prove_v that_o in_o this_o present_a place_n where_o paul_n reason_v from_o the_o put_n down_o of_o one_o contrary_a unto_o the_o destruction_n of_o another_o if_o so_o that_o to_o absolve_v and_o to_o receive_v for_o guilty_a be_v contrary_a therefore_o god_n will_v not_o admit_v any_o accusation_n against_o we_o because_o he_o have_v absolve_v we_o from_o everye_o offence_n for_o undoubted_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o accuser_n of_o all_o the_o godly_a the_o law_n of_o god_n itself_o and_o also_o their_o own_o conscience_n do_v reprove_v they_o but_o all_o these_o prevail_v nothing_o before_o that_o judge_n who_o do_v justify_v they_o therefore_o no_o adversary_n can_v shake_v much_o less_o overthrow_v our_o salvation_n furthermore_o he_o so_o name_v the_o elect_a that_o he_o doubt_v nothing_o of_o himself_o to_o be_v in_o the_o number_n of_o they_o prescribe_v here_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n prescribe_v and_o that_o not_o by_o special_a revelation_n as_o certain_a sophister_n fain_o but_o by_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o all_o the_o godly_a let_v every_o

the_o secret_a counsel_n of_o god_n this_o doctrine_n be_v not_o only_o cold_a but_o shall_v lie_v altogether_o dead_a but_o see_v we_o know_v that_o that_o be_v purposely_o here_o utter_v which_o
