to_o they_o and_o we_o under_o the_o gospel_n be_v as_o strange_a and_o false_a as_o the_o former_a it_o be_v this_o god_n do_v not_o give_v the_o grace_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n to_o any_o under_o the_o old_a covenant_n but_o upon_o antecedent_n condition_n they_o be_v to_o be_v at_o cost_n for_o sacrifice_n how_o do_v this_o agree_v with_o his_o former_a reason_n if_o he_o mean_v it_o

shall_v not_o here_o meddle_v only_o this_o be_v plain_a it_o be_v require_v of_o they_o under_o the_o old_a covenant_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o it_o be_v of_o we_o now_o a_o three_o difference_n make_v as_o to_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v this_o their_o perfect_a 5._o that_o remission_n of_o sin_n under_o the_o law_n be_v successive_o and_o imperfect_a under_o the_o gospel_n at_o once_o and_o perfect_a remission_n of_o sin_n be_v gradatim_fw-la successive_o drop_n by_o drop_n if_o a_o man_n have_v sin_v and_o offer_v sacrifice_n than_o that_o sin_n be_v pardon_v but_o this_o do_v not_o extend_v to_o future_a ignorance_n that_o be_v not_o pardon_v till_o a_o new_a sacrifice_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v there_o be_v a_o remembrance_n of_o sin_n but_o christ_n by_o one_o sacrifice_n once_o offer_v have_v perfect_v for_o ever_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o this_o difference_n grow_v upon_o this_o supposition_n as_o if_o the_o sacrifice_n offer_v do_v by_o its_o own_o virtue_n take_v away_o sin_n for_o if_o we_o suppose_v as_o we_o must_v that_o christ_n the_o true_a sacrifice_n be_v represent_v in_o every_o sacrifice_n and_o all_o the_o virtue_n and_o benefit_n to_o come_v from_o christ_n blood_n and_o not_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n than_o can_v that_o take_v away_o all_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o some_o sin_n unless_o the_o author_n be_v a_o socinian_n deny_v the_o efficacy_n of_o christ_n blood_n at_o all_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n he_o can_v never_o expedite_v himself_o from_o this_o again_o this_o contradict_v themselves_o for_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o say_v faith_n do_v not_o justify_v but_o evidence_n and_o declare_v it_o only_o be_v because_o god_n love_n and_o free_a grace_n to_o justify_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o therefore_o no_o sin_n past_a or_o future_a can_v hinder_v this_o now_o i_o ask_v whether_o god_n do_v not_o justify_v david_n and_o the_o godly_a in_o those_o day_n from_o all_o eternity_n as_o they_o speak_v and_o if_o he_o do_v why_o shall_v not_o all_o their_o sin_n be_v remit_v full_o once_o as_o well_o as_o the_o sin_n of_o believer_n under_o the_o gospel_n certain_o the_o apostle_n bring_v david_n for_o a_o instance_n of_o justification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n as_o well_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o do_v suppose_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o have_v our_o sin_n pardon_v in_o the_o like_a manner_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v i_o set_v one_o antinomian_n to_o overthrow_v another_o for_o one_o of_o that_o way_n bring_v many_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o so_o have_v all_o our_o sin_n do_v away_o before_o we_o believe_v now_o if_o all_o sin_n be_v do_v away_o then_o there_o be_v no_o successive_a remission_n well_o then_o you_o shall_v observe_v most_o of_o the_o argument_n hold_v for_o the_o believer_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o well_o as_o new_a for_o they_o be_v elect_v as_o well_o as_o we_o god_n lay_v their_o sin_n upon_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o we_o if_o god_n love_v we_o to_o day_n and_o hate_v we_o to_o morrow_n let_v arminian_n hear_v and_o wonder_v why_o they_o shall_v be_v blame_v that_o say_v we_o may_v love_v god_n to_o day_n and_o hate_v he_o to_o morrow_n now_o all_o these_o reason_n will_v fall_v foul_a upon_o this_o antinomian_a who_o error_n i_o confute_v and_o he_o must_v necessary_o hold_v that_o the_o godly_a have_v but_o half_a pardon_n yea_o that_o they_o be_v love_v one_o day_n and_o hate_v the_o next_o again_o consider_v that_o the_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n urge_v by_o he_o for_o his_o error_n viz._n christ_n offer_v himself_o once_o for_o all_o to_o perfect_v those_o that_o be_v sanctify_v be_v of_o a_o
