A41355	The marrow of modern divinity touching both the covenant of works, and the covenant of grace, with their use and end, both in the time of the Old Testament, and in the time of the New : wherein every one may cleerly see how far forth he bringeth the law into the case of justification, and so deserverh the name of legalist : and how far forth he rejecteth the law, in the case of sanctification, and so deserveth the name of Antinomist : with the middle path between them both, which by Iesus Christ leadeth to eternall life : in a dialogue, betwixt Evangelista, a minister of the Gospel, Nomista, a legalist, Antinomista, an Antinomian, and Neophytus, a young Christian / by the author, E.F. ; before the which there is prefixed the commendatory epistles of divers divines of great esteem in the citie of London ; whereunto is also added, the substance of a	Fisher, Edward, fl. 1627-1655.; Hamilton, Patrick, 1504?-1528.

before_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o do_v they_o not_o impute_v it_o to_o themselves_o because_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nay_o in_o that_o long_a course_n of_o

that_o will_v plead_v interest_n in_o it_o yet_o these_o people_n at_o this_o time_n be_v proud_a and_o secure_a and_o heedless_a of_o their_o estate_n and_o though_o sin_n be_v in_o they_o and_o

that_o adam_n offence_n 2d_o and_o their_o own_o actual_a transgression_n may_v abound_v so_o that_o now_o the_o lord_n see_v it_o needful_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o new_a edition_n and_o

right_a well_o that_o luther_n say_v the_o conscience_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o law_n or_o work_n 59_o and_o that_o calvin_n say_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o faithful_a when_o the_o

the_o law_n and_o lay_v aside_o all_o think_n upon_o work_n now_o for_o the_o true_a understanding_n of_o these_o two_o worthy_a servant_n of_o christ_n two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v conclude_v first_o that_o when_o they_o speak_v thus_o of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v evident_a they_o mean_v only_o in_o the_o case_n of_o justification_n second_o that_o when_o the_o conscience_n have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o law_n in_o the_o case_n of_o justification_n it_o have_v to_o do_v with_o it_o only_o as_o it_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n for_o as_o the_o law_n be_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n it_o neither_o justify_v nor_o condemn_v and_o so_o if_o you_o understand_v it_o of_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n according_a to_o their_o meaning_n than_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o they_o say_v for_o why_o shall_v a_o man_n let_v the_o law_n come_v into_o his_o conscience_n that_o be_v why_o shall_v a_o man_n make_v any_o conscience_n of_o do_v the_o law_n to_o be_v justify_v thereby_o consider_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n impossible_a nay_o what_o need_n have_v a_o man_n to_o make_v conscience_n of_o do_v the_o law_n to_o be_v justify_v thereby_o when_o he_o know_v he_o be_v already_o justify_v another_o way_n nay_o what_o need_n have_v a_o man_n to_o make_v conscience_n of_o do_v that_o law_n that_o be_v dead_a to_o he_o and_o he_o to_o it_o have_v a_o woman_n any_o need_n to_o make_v any_o conscience_n of_o do_v her_o duty_n to_o her_o husband_n when_o he_o be_v dead_a nay_o when_o she_o herself_o be_v dead_a also_o or_o have_v a_o debtor_n any_o

no_o more_o conscience_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v their_o conscience_n will_v not_o have_v accuse_v they_o of_o be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n now_o the_o blond_n of_o christ_n have_v purge_v the_o conscience_n of_o a_o believer_n from_o all_o his_o sin_n 9.14_o as_o they_o be_v transgression_n against_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o therefore_o what_o need_v his_o conscience_n be_v trouble_v about_o that_o covenant_n but_o now_o i_o pray_v you_o observe_v and_o take_v notice_n that_o although_o luther_n and_o calvin_n do_v thus_o exempt_v a_o believer_n from_o the_o law_n in_o the_o case_n of_o justification_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o law_n or_o covenant_n of_o work_n yet_o do_v they_o not_o so_o out_o of_o the_o case_n of_o justification_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o
