A13556	Regula vitæ the rule of the law vnder the Gospel. Containing a discovery of the pestiferous sect of libertines, antinomians, and sonnes of Belial, lately sprung up both to destroy the law, and disturbe the faith of the Gospell: wherein is manifestly proved, that God seeth sinne in iustified persons. By Thomas Taylor Dr. of Divinity, and pastour of S. Mary Aldermanbury, London.	Taylor, Thomas, 1576-1632.	1631 (1631)	STC 23851; ESTC S118279	80,247	284

some_o of_o the_o principal_a objection_n of_o the_o libertine_n 1_o object_n be_v this_o our_o text_n rome_n 6._o 19_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n whence_o thus_o they_o reason_n to_o they_o that_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n to_o those_o the_o law_n do_v not_o belong_v but_o it_o be_v to_o they_o abolish_v and_o void_a but_o believer_n be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o answ._n 1._o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a be_v under_o the_o law_n first_o a_o be_v under_o the_o curse_n burden_n malediction_n condemnation_n and_o coaction_n of_o the_o law_n thus_o no_o believer_n be_v under_o it_o second_o there_o be_v a_o be_v under_o the_o obedience_n rule_n counsel_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o law_n and_o thus_o believer_n be_v under_o it_o much_o more_o than_o before_o as_o christ_n himself_o also_o be_v for_o they_o be_v now_o by_o the_o free_a spirit_n of_o christ_n frame_v to_o a_o free_a and_o voluntary_a obedience_n of_o it_o factor_n so_o say_v august_n the_o law_n make_v we_o guilty_a by_o command_v but_o not_o assist_v but_o grace_n assist_v every_o believer_n to_o be_v a_o keeper_n of_o the_o law_n 2_o this_o objection_n will_v be_v also_o full_o satisfy_v by_o apply_v the_o former_a distinction_n of_o the_o law_n consider_v it_o 1._o in_o the_o matter_n and_o substance_n of_o it_o and_o thus_o believer_n be_v still_o under_o it_o both_o for_o performance_n of_o all_o holy_a duty_n of_o it_o and_o forbearance_n of_o all_o the_o evil_n prohibit_v by_o it_o 2._o in_o the_o manner_n of_o obedience_n and_o in_o the_o consequence_n and_o appendix_n of_o it_o and_o thus_o be_v they_o not_o under_o the_o rigour_n coaction_n or_o strict_a exaction_n of_o it_o and_o much_o less_o under_o the_o curse_n malediction_n or_o condemnation_n of_o it_o but_o this_o objection_n have_v be_v before_o abundant_o satisfy_v in_o the_o 2._o &_o 3_o chapter_n and_o therefore_o i_o pass_v it_o now_o more_o brief_o 2_o object_n gal._n 3._o 10._o so_o many_o as_o be_v under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v under_o the_o curse_n therefore_o either_o the_o law_n be_v utter_o

those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n 2._o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v twofold_a either_o work_n of_o obedience_n do_v in_o humility_n by_o way_n of_o duty_n in_o testimony_n of_o thankfulness_n and_o of_o our_o conformity_n with_o christ._n or_o 2._o work_n of_o the_o law_n do_v in_o pride_n to_o seek_v justification_n by_o the_o law_n and_o the_o work_n of_o

justification_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o as_o appear_v plain_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n 11._o for_o that_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n be_v evident_a for_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n but_o though_o no_o believer_n can_v in_o the_o second_o respect_n be_v under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n
