christ_n for_o ease_n and_o rest_n four_o the_o burden_n of_o the_o law_n be_v exceed_o great_a in_o this_o respect_n that_o upon_o any_o one_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n the_o soul_n come_v to_o be_v break_v so_o as_o to_o lose_v ability_n to_o be_v able_a to_o keep_v any_o part_n of_o the_o law_n for_o ever_o i_o say_v there_o be_v this_o in_o the_o law_n more_o than_o in_o the_o gospel_n that_o upon_o any_o one_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n the_o soul_n come_v to_o be_v so_o break_v as_o to_o loose_v all_o the_o ability_n of_o ever_o keep_v any_o part_n of_o the_o law_n again_o as_o thus_o i_o show_v you_o in_o adam_n adam_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n of_o work_n of_o the_o law_n now_o adam_n he_o break_v it_o in_o one_o particular_a fail_v in_o one_o particular_a of_o what_o god_n require_v of_o he_o and_o in_o break_v of_o it_o in_o that_o one_o thing_n he_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n be_v so_o break_v that_o they_o lose_v all_o their_o ability_n of_o keep_v of_o the_o law_n for_o ever_o except_o god_n come_v and_o create_v any_o ability_n they_o have_v lose_v what_o ability_n be_v give_v at_o first_o in_o their_o creation_n so_o than_o this_o be_v a_o very_a great_a mystery_n that_o one_o by_o do_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_n shall_v weaken_v the_o contrary_a habit_n that_o by_o do_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a we_o shall_v quite_o loose_v the_o habit_n that_o be_v quite_o loose_a the_o habit_n by_o one_o act_n and_o not_o only_o loose_v the_o habit_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o particular_a evil_n that_o we_o do_v but_o lose_v all_o habit_n of_o all_o good_a whatsoever_o and_o that_o by_o one_o act_n now_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n above_o nature_n this_o be_v only_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n god_n make_v such_o a_o covenant_n it_o run_v upon_o such_o term_n as_o if_o adam_n do_v but_o sin_n in_o one_o thing_n he_o must_v die_v that_o be_v his_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o his_o body_n must_v die_v a_o spiritual_a death_n and_o so_o loose_a all_o habit_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n dead_a in_o sin_n further_o such_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o law_n that_o suppose_v god_n shall_v restore_v we_o all_o to_o be_v as_o perfect_a as_o ever_o adam_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n void_a of_o all_o sin_n and_o have_v the_o image_n of_o god_n perfect_a and_o then_o god_n shall_v come_v and_o put_v we_o upon_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n again_o i_o say_v if_o we_o than_o shall_v but_o fail_v in_o any_o one_o thing_n it_o will_v break_v we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v loose_v all_o our_o ability_n to_o perform_v any_o duty_n ever_o after_o this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o law_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o gospel_n though_o we_o sin_n against_o the_o gospel_n we_o do_v not_o present_o loose_v all_o our_o habit_n of_o grace_n but_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o difference_n that_o though_o adam_n when_o he_o sin_v against_o the_o law_n he_o lose_v all_o his_o habit_n to_o do_v any_o good_a after_o and_o that_o though_o we_o sin_n against_o the_o gospel_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o loose_v those_o habit_n that_o i_o shall_v show_v afterward_o when_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o show_v that_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v easy_a than_o that_o of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o be_v the_o four_o thing_n in_o the_o burden_n of_o the_o law_n five_o the_o first_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o the_o law_n upon_o every_o breach_n it_o do_v take_v advantage_n against_o the_o soul_n present_o i_o say_v take_v advantage_n against_o the_o soul_n present_o and_o bind_v it_o over_o to_o death_n to_o eternal_a death_n present_o bind_v it_o over_o yea_o and_o do_v actual_o put_v it_o under_o a_o curse_n upon_o every_o breach_n instant_o it_o do_v it_o its_o true_a the_o law_n it_o may_v be_v be_v not_o present_o execute_v as_o soon_o as_o a_o sinner_n have_v break_v it_o but_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o though_o god_n do_v not_o come_v upon_o you_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o have_v break_v the_o law_n yet_o know_v that_o there_o be_v these_o three_o thing_n come_v upon_o every_o one_o that_o be_v out_o of_o chirst_n as_o soon_o as_o any_o one_o sin_n be_v commit_v there_o be_v these_o three_o thing_n come_v upon_o he_o present_o first_o he_o be_v bind_v over_o by_o god_n justice_n by_o such_o abond_n as_o have_v more_o strength_n in_o it_o then_o all_o the_o power_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v able_a to_o break_v as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v do_v that_o that_o be_v evil_a it_o may_v be_v the_o law_n have_v not_o present_a execution_n upon_o he_o i_o but_o he_o be_v bind_v over_o present_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o in_o the_o second_o place_n the_o law_n pass_v sentence_n the_o bind_n over_o that_o be_v the_o guilt_n but_o the_o law_n pass_v sentence_n upon_o the_o sinner_n and_o condemn_v it_o the_o soul_n be_v present_o under_o the_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n three_o the_o law_n put_v the_o sinner_n under_o a_o curse_n for_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o 27._o of_o deu._n curse_a be_v

pronounce_v accurse_a and_o that_o be_v a_o five_o particular_a six_o and_o in_o the_o six_o place_n this_o law_n require_v constant_a obedience_n also_o and_o such_o be_v the_o rigour_n of_o it_o that_o if_o you_o shall_v obey_v it_o never_o so_o much_o for_o a_o great_a part_n of_o your_o life_n if_o you_o shall_v conceive_v you_o can_v obey_v it_o perfect_o for_o a_o great_a while_n yet_o

any_o one_o particular_a certain_o you_o will_v be_v condemn_v by_o it_o this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o law_n for_o so_o it_o be_v in_o those_o word_n that_o be_v name_v though_o you_o do_v it_o if_o you_o do_v not_o abide_v to_o do_v every_o thing_n if_o there_o be_v but_o any_o one_o thing_n whereby_o it_o can_v take_v advantage_n it_o will_v certain_o condemn_v you_o for_o it_o this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o all_o that_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o load_n will_v not_o this_o burden_n the_o soul_n if_o so_o be_v the_o soul_n come_v to_o understand_v it_o and_o whether_o it_o understand_v it_o or_o not_o yet_o certain_o it_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n seven_o a_o seven_o burden_n of_o the_o law_n be_v this_o that_o when_o once_o the_o sinner_n have_v break_v it_o the_o law_n can_v be_v satisfy_v with_o any_o obedience_n which_o may_v make_v amends_o afterward_o by_o any_o thing_n that_o the_o sinner_n can_v do_v suppose_v a_o man_n shall_v be_v never_o so_o angry_a and_o offend_v he_o that_o have_v offend_v he_o may_v make_v amends_o again_o a_o servant_n think_v though_o i_o have_v offend_v my_o master_n and_o do_v so_o many_o fault_n yet_o i_o will_v make_v amends_o for_o al._n so_o many_o people_n think_v though_o we_o have_v break_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o live_v a_o great_a while_n in_o sin_n and_o do_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a yet_o we_o will_v make_v amends_o again_o and_o we_o will_v give_v alm_n and_o come_v to_o church_n and_o the_o like_a these_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o many_o poor_a ignorant_a heart_n that_o do_v not_o understand_v upon_o what_o term_n they_o stand_v with_o god_n all_o the_o child_n of_o man_n stand_v before_o god_n either_o under_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n or_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n one_o of_o the_o two_o now_o those_o kind_n of_o man_n that_o reason_n after_o this_o manner_n sure_o they_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n they_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o now_o let_v they_o know_v that_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n admit_v of_o no_o such_o amends_o as_o they_o speak_v of_o but_o when_o once_o you_o have_v break_v the_o law_n all_o that_o ever_o you_o can_v do_v if_o you_o can_v live_v a_o thousand_o year_n never_o so_o strict_o or_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v never_o so_o much_o for_o god_n

eternal_a life_n itself_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v rest_n in_o it_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o get_v eternal_a life_n by_o it_o as_o it_o be_v rather_o eternal_a life_n itself_o than_o so_o much_o as_o any_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n for_o this_o may_v be_v say_v though_o i_o perform_v duty_n it_o be_v true_a god_n have_v teach_v i_o so_o much_o that_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o get_v eternal_a life_n by_o our_o duty_n by_o our_o work_n this_o be_v popery_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n the_o way_n that_o tend_v to_o it_o it_o be_v via_fw-la ad_fw-la regnum_fw-la the_o way_n to_o the_o kingdom_n though_o not_o the_o cause_n of_o reign_v nay_o i_o will_v show_v you_o a_o further_a thing_n than_o so_o the_o way_n of_o obedience_n and_o holiness_n in_o a_o christian_n course_n they_o be_v rather_o eternal_a life_n itself_o than_o the_o way_n to_o it_o they_o have_v more_o excellency_n in_o they_o then_o be_v the_o way_n to_o life_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o ease_n and_o rest_n to_o one_o spirit_n to_o consider_v of_o holy_a duty_n but_o as_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n if_o a_o man_n be_v go_v a_o journey_n and_o know_v the_o end_n of_o his_o journey_n shall_v be_v very_o glorious_a to_o he_o if_o it_o be_v to_o receive_v a_o crown_n a_o kingdom_n though_o it_o be_v a_o boisterous_a day_n and_o stormy_a weather_n and_o the_o way_n be_v very_o foul_a he_o will_v not_o be_v trouble_v at_o it_o but_o he_o will_v account_v it_o very_o comfortable_a to_o know_v that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o right_a way_n for_o he_o think_v this_o will_v lead_v i_o to_o my_o journey_n end_n and_o when_o i_o come_v there_o that_o will_v make_v amends_o for_o al._n and_o the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v ease_n and_o rest_n enough_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n if_o god_n do_v reveal_v no_o more_o unto_o a_o soul_n than_o this_o these_o be_v the_o way_n that_o lead_v thou_o to_o life_n and_o salvation_n that_o lead_v thou_o to_o a_o kingdom_n to_o glory_n especial_o consider_v that_o before_o we_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n we_o be_v wander_v in_o the_o way_n of_o death_n and_o destruction_n and_o god_n by_o his_o almighty_a hand_n have_v bring_v we_o into_o the_o right_a way_n when_o a_o man_n be_v go_v a_o journey_n of_o great_a consequence_n and_o he_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n have_v bring_v he_o into_o his_o right_a way_n o_o what_o ease_n be_v in_o his_o spirit_n before_o when_o he_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n what_o distraction_n and_o disquietness_n of_o heart_n but_o now_o when_o he_o come_v into_o the_o way_n oh_o what_o ease_n and_o quiet_a be_v in_o his_o spirit_n so_o i_o say_v this_o be_v ease_n and_o rest_n enough_o of_o spirit_n to_o know_v that_o whereas_o before_o the_o soul_n be_v wander_v in_o the_o path_n of_o death_n now_o it_o be_v in_o the_o path_n of_o life_n but_o i_o tell_v you_o further_o than_o so_o that_o when_o thou_o be_v perform_v of_o holy_a duty_n and_o exercise_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o those_o duty_n thou_o be_v not_o only_o in_o the_o way_n of_o eternal_a life_n but_o thou_o be_v in_o eternal_a life_n itself_o not_o only_o in_o the_o way_n to_o the_o kingdom_n but_o in_o the_o kingdom_n not_o only_o in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n but_o in_o heaven_n it_o be_v eternal_a life_n this_o be_v eternal_a life_n to_o know_v thou_o the_o true_a god_n and_o thy_o son_n who_o thou_o have_v send_v into_o the_o world_n and_o that_o place_n in_o the_o epistle_n of_o st._n john_n he_o speak_v of_o a_o murderer_n one_o that_o do_v hate_v his_o brother_n in_o the_o first_o of_o john_n 3.15_o whosoever_o hate_v his_o brother_n be_v a_o murderer_n and_o you_o know_v that_o no_o murderer_n have_v eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o then_o it_o appear_v that_o one_o that_o love_v his_o brother_n and_o be_v godly_a and_o gracious_a have_v eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o for_o that_o must_v needs_o follow_v if_o this_o be_v the_o evil_a condition_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n that_o hate_v his_o brother_n that_o he_o have_v not_o eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o then_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o contrary_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o he_o that_o have_v holiness_n and_o love_v his_o brother_n he_o have_v eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o and_o therefore_o such_o a_o one_o he_o have_v eternal_a life_n already_o to_o come_v down_o to_o he_o &_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n already_o so_o the_o scripture_n make_v grace_n but_o the_o begin_n of_o glory_n it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o heaven_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o in_o that_o golden_a chain_n in_o rom._n 8.30_o who_o god_n have_v predestinate_v they_o he_o also_o have_v call_v &_o who_o he_o have_v call_v they_o he_o have_v justify_v &_o who_o he_o have_v justify_v they_o he_o have_v also_o glorify_v mark_v but_o where_o be_v the_o link_n of_o sanctification_n it_o be_v not_o who_o he_o have_v predestinate_v he_o have_v call_v and_o who_o he_o have_v call_v he_o have_v sanctify_v and_o who_o he_o have_v sanctify_v he_o have_v glorify_v one_o will_v have_v think_v the_o chain_n shall_v have_v go_v along_o in_o that_o link_n but_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o sanctification_n why_o because_o sanctification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o glorification_n begin_v and_o glorification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o perfect_a of_o sanctification_n now_o i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v this_o as_o a_o most_o special_a thing_n that_o belong_v to_o a_o christian_a the_o best_a duty_n that_o we_o perform_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o life_n of_o heaven_n to_o we_o nay_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v the_o life_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v of_o ungodly_a man_n before_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n they_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o life_n of_o god_n therefore_o when_o thou_o be_v come_v to_o christ_n thou_o have_v the_o life_n of_o god_n in_o thou_o and_o the_o life_n of_o heaven_n in_o thou_o and_o the_o beginning_n of_o glory_n glory_n and_o eternal_a life_n thou_o do_v live_v whilst_o thou_o be_v in_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n what_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o heaven_n but_o for_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n to_o be_v exercise_v in_o magnify_v the_o riches_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n now_o thou_o begin_v it_o here_o and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o know_v what_o this_o be_v thou_o be_v not_o i_o say_v to_o look_v upon_o any_o duty_n that_o thou_o perform_v mere_o as_o a_o duty_n but_o thou_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o privilege_n yea_o as_o part_n of_o thy_o wage_n that_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n that_o god_n work_n it_o be_v wage_n and_o the_o improve_n of_o that_o principle_n will_v help_v we_o very_o much_o in_o our_o christian_a course_n if_o thou_o do_v live_v and_o account_v every_o duty_n that_o thou_o perform_v to_o god_n to_o be_v wage_n oh_o with_o what_o sweetness_n will_v thou_o go_v on_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o those_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v of_o thou_o thou_o be_v receive_v thy_o wage_n when_o thou_o be_v perform_v of_o duty_n in_o rom._n 6._o and_o the_o last_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o
