thing_n can_v be_v learn_v of_o men._n no_o man_n can_v teach_v another_o the_o thing_n that_o can_v no_o other_o way_n be_v know_v but_o by_o sense_n and_o experience_n no_o man_n can_v teach_v

before_o they_o can_v be_v know_v we_o must_v taste_v it_o in_o ourselves_o and_o god_n must_v work_v it_o in_o we_o and_o therefore_o david_n say_v taste_v and_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v good_a

for_o a_o man_n never_o to_o know_v god_n than_o not_o to_o glorify_v the_o know_a god_n as_o god_n or_o not_o to_o love_v he_o above_o all_o thing_n chap._n vi_o to_o love_n god_n above_o all_o

above_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n can_v never_o teach_v we_o this_o for_o if_o the_o love_n of_o god_n above_o all_o thing_n do_v grow_v out_o of_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o old_a law_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o none_o do_v love_n god_n more_o than_o the_o jew_n who_o abound_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o law_n never_o bring_v any_o one_o to_o perfection_n that_o be_v to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n above_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o high_a perfection_n of_o

of_o our_o sin_n that_o we_o have_v transgress_v they_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o weakness_n and_o inability_n that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v they_o and_o knowledge_n of_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n we_o must_v suffer_v for_o it_o whence_o fear_n and_o bondage_n be_v engender_v and_o more_o than_o this_o the_o letter_n can_v do_v wherefore_o also_o the_o letter_n kill_v

to_o be_v hide_v in_o the_o law_n to_o those_o i_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v a_o profitable_a doctrine_n and_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v full_a of_o comfort_n and_o particular_o in_o this_o that_o such_o as_o these_o as_o they_o find_v their_o sickness_n in_o the_o scripture_n so_o likewise_o their_o strength_n and_o health_n as_o they_o find_v the_o death_n of_o nature_n so_o likewise_o the_o

all_o which_o we_o see_v that_o the_o law_n be_v only_o a_o affrightment_n or_o terror_n drive_v we_o from_o nature_n to_o grace_n from_o ourselves_o into_o god_n from_o flesh_n into_o the_o spirit_n in_o and_o by_o who_o we_o cry_v to_o god_n abba_n father_n and_o come_v to_o desire_v or_o long_o for_o god_n above_o all_o thing_n in_o like_a manner_n also_o be_v the_o letter_n of_o the_o new_a

as_o well_o as_o that_o of_o the_o law_n for_o though_o it_o represent_v christ_n to_o the_o eye_n and_o his_o doctrine_n to_o the_o ear_n yet_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v unable_a to_o bring_v the_o
