other_o take_v heed_n they_o abuse_v it_o not_o through_o ignorance_n 2._o i_o answer_v that_o whereas_o the_o scripture_n say_v christ_n dwell_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o faith_n it_o be_v true_a but_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a dwell_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o heart_n by_o faith_n the_o first_o be_v when_o the_o soul_n see_v and_o believe_v what_o god_n in_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o it_o and_o second_o when_o the_o soul_n see_v and_o believe_v that_o this_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o same_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o christ_n dwell_v in_o he_o as_o a_o law_n of_o light_n life_n and_o

when_o christ_n reveal_v himself_o in_o they_o the_o world_n shall_v see_v i_o no_o more_o but_o you_o shall_v see_v i_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o sight_n as_o the_o apostle_n have_v of_o christ_n when_o he_o be_v with_o they_o in_o the_o flesh_n it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o sight_n as_o the_o world_n have_v or_o at_o this_o day_n have_v of_o christ_n for_o the_o world_n believe_v that_o christ_n

they_o receive_v by_o faith_n believe_v and_o know_v this_o to_o be_v a_o truth_n for_o faith_n and_o knowledge_n in_o this_o particular_a be_v but_o one_o thing_n we_o believe_v and_o know_v say_v peter_n that_o thou_o be_v the_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o thus_o saint_n in_o who_o this_o law_n of_o righteousness_n be_v manifest_a can_v in_o a_o measure_n say_v we_o believe_v and_o know_v that_o god_n have_v reveal_v his_o son_n not_o only_o to_o we_o but_o in_o we_o and_o thus_o christ_n dwell_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o faith_n and_o there_o be_v no_o one_o

second_o part_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o this_o law_n in_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v a_o external_a righteousness_n among_o man_n for_o this_o law_n in_o the_o spirit_n teach_v man_n to_o live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o the_o world_n god_n be_v a_o righteous_a god_n and_o this_o righteous_a law_n conform_v

his_o righteousness_n free_a justification_n without_o work_n but_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o if_o not_o enemy_n unto_o the_o righteousness_n of_o this_o law_n in_o the_o spirit_n although_o i_o question_v not_o but_o that_o many_o who_o be_v yet_o come_v no_o further_o may_v be_v precious_a and_o enjoy_v true_a comfort_n according_a to_o that_o measure_n receive_v yet_o these_o two_o thing_n

land_n of_o rest_n second_o that_o those_o who_o true_o know_v christ_n without_o they_o to_o be_v their_o righteousness_n do_v or_o shall_v likewise_o know_v christ_n within_o they_o although_o at_o present_a through_o ignorance_n they_o deny_v it_o although_o its_o that_o which_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v their_o great_a glory_n but_o i_o say_v for_o a_o man_n only_o to_o know_v christ_n without_o he_o glory_v in_o this_o without_o any_o experience_n of_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n in_o he_o in_o be_v make_v conformable_a unto_o he_o this_o be_v a_o fleshly_a and_o deceivable_a law_n of_o righteousness_n five_o other_o seem_v as_o they_o say_v to_o come_v high_a than_o all_o the_o rest_n into_o a_o way_n of_o righteousness_n although_o low_a of_o all_o for_o they_o look_v not_o after_o morality_n nor_o legality_n nor_o christ_n nor_o this_o righteous_a law_n in_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o substance_n and_o perfection_n of_o all_o but_o they_o have_v find_v a_o new_a law_n of_o righteousness_n or_o rather_o of_o unrighteousness_n that_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o flesh_n do_v what_o they_o will_v its_o all_o good_a justifiable_a righteous_a but_o to_o such_o i_o say_v be_v not_o deceive_v god_n be_v not_o mock_v for_o what_o you_o sow_v you_o be_v like_a to_o reap_v for_o god_n be_v not_o as_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v lie_v or_o as_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v repent_v let_v god_n be_v righteous_a let_v god_n be_v true_a and_o all_o false_a and_o fleshly_a persuasion_n be_v a_o lie_n 2._o the_o external_a unrighteousness_n of_o this_o deceivable_a law_n in_o the_o flesh_n may_v be_v consider_v either_o 1._o do_v or_o act_v thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o true_a rule_n of_o righteousness_n thus_o either_o first_o in_o act_v that_o so_o they_o may_v appear_v unto_o man_n to_o be_v righteous_a like_a unto_o hypocrite_n and_o this_o satisfy_v if_o there_o can_v be_v such_o a_o visible_a walk_n as_o may_v silence_v man_n though_o

to_o be_v their_o rule_n of_o righteousness_n to_o other_o and_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v ofttimes_o that_o they_o have_v a_o law_n of_o liberty_n within_o they_o to_o lie_v and_o cousin_n
