on_o the_o same_o design_n to_o further_a perfection_n to_o give_v a_o more_o perfect_a and_o clear_a law_n and_o to_o give_v a_o great_a enforcement_n and_o encouragement_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o moral_a duty_n these_o be_v always_o the_o sum_n and_o substance_n of_o religion_n the_o ultimate_a design_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o discharge_v man_n from_o the_o obligation_n of_o the_o moral_a precept_n of_o the_o law_n that_o i_o come_v to_o bind_v they_o more_o strong_o upon_o you_o and_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o

no_o wise_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o then_o he_o instance_v in_o several_a precept_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o in_o the_o letter_n of_o they_o especial_o as_o they_o be_v interpret_v by_o the_o teacher_n of_o the_o law_n among_o the_o jew_n be_v very_o much_o short_a of_o that_o righteousness_n and_o perfection_n which_o he_o now_o require_v of_o his_o disciple_n and_o follower_n so_o that_o his_o whole_a discourse_n be_v about_o precept_n and_o obligation_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o not_o a_o word_n concern_v the_o ritual_a and_o ceremonial_a law_n which_o make_v i_o very_o prone_a to_o think_v that_o our_o saviour_n meaning_n in_o the_o text_n be_v this_o that_o his_o religion_n be_v so_o far_o from_o thwart_v and_o oppose_v that_o which_o be_v the_o main_a design_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n that_o be_v of_o the_o jewish_a religion_n that_o the_o principal_a intention_n of_o christianity_n be_v to_o advance_v the_o practice_n of_o goodness_n and_o virtue_n by_o strengthen_v the_o obligation_n of_o moral_a duty_n and_o give_v we_o a_o more_o perfect_a law_n and_o rule_n of_o life_n and_o offer_v better_a argument_n and_o

intend_v to_o exempt_a god_n from_o a_o hand_n in_o these_o temptation_n now_o for_o the_o clear_a understanding_n of_o this_o it_o will_v be_v requisite_a to_o consider_v the_o several_a end_n and_o
