the_o upshot_n of_o the_o judgement_n for_o the_o enquiry_n will_v be_v next_o whether_o we_o have_v accept_v the_o remedy_n and_o so_o obey_v the_o law_n of_o grace_n and_o perform_v its_o

law_n of_o grace_n that_o justify_v the_o righteous_a obj._n but_o how_o shall_v heathen_n bejudge_v by_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n that_o never_o do_v receive_v it_o answ_n the_o express_a gospel_n some_o of_o they_o have_v not_o and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o direct_o be_v judge_v by_o it_o but_o much_o of_o the_o redeemer_n mercy_n they_o do_v enjoy_v which_o shall_v have_v lead_v they_o to_o repent_v and_o seek_v out_o after_o recovery_n from_o their_o misery_n and_o to_o come_v near_a christ_n and_o for_o the_o neglect_n and_o abuse_v of_o this_o they_o shall_v be_v judge_v and_o not_o mere_o for_o sin_v against_o the_o law_n that_o be_v give_v we_o in_o pure_a innocency_n so_o that_o christ_n as_o redeemer_n shall_v judge_v they_o as_o well_o as_o other_o though_o they_o have_v but_o one_o talon_n yet_o must_v they_o give_v a_o account_n of_o that_o to_o the_o redeemer_n from_o who_o they_o receive_v it_o but_o if_o any_o be_v unsatisfied_a in_o this_o let_v they_o remember_v that_o as_o god_n have_v leave_v the_o state_n of_o such_o more_o dark_a to_o we_o and_o the_o term_n on_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v they_o so_o do_v it_o much_o more_o concern_v we_o to_o look_v to_o the_o term_n of_o our_o own_o judgement_n obj._n but_o how_o shall_v infant_n be_v judge_v by_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v uncapable_a of_o it_o answ_n for_o aught_o i_o find_v in_o

cause_n of_o the_o day_n will_v be_v to_o inquire_v and_o determine_v who_o shall_v die_v and_o who_o shall_v live_v who_o ought_v to_o go_v to_o heaven_n and_o who_o to_o hell_n for_o ever_o according_a to_o the_o law_n by_o which_o they_o must_v then_o be_v judge_v 1._o as_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a law_n by_o which_o they_o must_v be_v judge_v so_o will_v there_o then_o be_v a_o twofold_a accusation_n the_o first_o will_v be_v that_o they_o be_v sinner_n and_o so_o have_v violate_v the_o law_n of_o god_n they_o deserve_v everlasting_a death_n accord_v to_o that_o law_n if_o no_o defence_n can_v be_v make_v this_o one_o accusation_n will_v condemn_v all_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o all_o be_v sinner_n and_o as_o certain_a that_o all_o sin_n deserve_v death_n the_o only_a defence_n against_o this_o accusation_n lie_v in_o this_o plea_n confess_v the_o charge_n we_o must_v plead_v that_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v for_o sin_n and_o upon_o that_o consideration_n god_n have_v forgive_v we_o and_o therefore_o be_v forgive_v we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v to_o prove_v this_o we_o must_v show_v the_o pardon_n under_o god_n hand_n in_o the_o gospel_n but_o because_o this_o pardon_v act_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v forgive_v none_o but_o those_o that_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o so_o return_v to_o god_n and_o to_o sincere_a obedience_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v therefore_o the_o next_o accusation_n will_v be_v that_o we_o do_v not_o perform_v these_o condition_n of_o forgiveness_n and_o therefore_o be_v unbeliever_n impenitent_a and_o rebel_n against_o the_o redeemer_n we_o have_v no_o right_a to_o pardon_v but_o by_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v liable_a to_o a_o great_a punishment_n for_o this_o contempt_n of_o christ_n and_o grace_n this_o accusation_n be_v either_o true_a or_o false_a where_o it_o be_v true_a god_n and_o conscience_n who_o speak_v the_o truth_n may_v well_o be_v
such_o conceit_n that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o act_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o not_o of_o the_o mind_n and_o therefore_o as_o they_o think_v the_o smale_a sin_n the_o apostle_n word_n from_o last_o to_o first_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o intention_n do_v express_v first_o man_n duty_n to_o glorify_v god_n with_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o not_o to_o serve_v our_o lust_n second_o the_o great_a
