have_v here_o set_v it_o down_o but_o that_o he_o seem_v to_o lay_v so_o great_a stress_n not_o only_o on_o this_o his_o interpretation_n of_o christ_n word_n as_o be_v as_o he_o say_v a_o

john_n 1._o 5._o god_n be_v light_a and_o in_o he_o be_v no_o darkness_n at_o all_o the_o meaning_n whereof_o he_o say_v be_v this_o that_o god_n be_v light_a and_o in_o he_o be_v no_o darkness_n at_o all_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o law_n and_o commandment_n the_o rule_n of_o man_n life_n and_o imply_v that_o these_o have_v before_o viz._n christ_n teach_n some_o indulgence_n for_o some_o sin_n and_o where_o they_o have_v not_o so_o yet_o they_o have_v some_o mixture_n of_o imperfection_n but_o now_o they_o have_v none_o they_o have_v before_o some_o vacuity_n in_o they_o which_o be_v now_o

future_a death_n to_o all_o sin_n and_o else_o none_o be_v pardon_v those_o sin_n as_o to_o future_a death_n because_o they_o do_v need_v no_o such_o pardon_n 4._o nor_o can_v i_o understand_v the_o word_n follow_v that_o where_o the_o law_n the_o rule_n of_o man_n life_n do_v not_o allow_v indulgence_n for_o some_o sin_n yet_o it_o have_v some_o mixture_n of_o imperfection_n i_o can_v imagine_v how_o this_o appear_v for_o none_o will_v sure_o say_v it_o appear_v in_o this_o that_o it_o do_v not_o require_v some_o thing_n the_o law_n now_o require_v as_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o that_o will_v no_o more_o prove_v the_o law_n imperfect_a then_o then_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v now_o imperfect_a in_o not_o require_v circumcision_n whereas_o the_o law_n do_v then_o as_o it_o do_v now_o require_v all_o to_o obey_v whatsoever_o he_o shall_v any_o way_n whatsoever_o command_v they_o and_o that_o under_o the_o penalty_n of_o future-death_n 5._o you_o may_v see_v by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o the_o law_n not_o as_o refer_v to_o conscience_n and_o future-life_n but_o as_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n law_n do_v allow_v or_o indulge_v some_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o far_o as_o not_o to_o threaten_v violent_a death_n to_o they_o at_o all_o and_o so_o in_o this_o commonwealth_n sense_n do_v not_o forbid_v such_o practice_n at_o all_o which_o yet_o the_o law_n in_o the_o most_o important_a and_o conscience_n sense_n do_v forbid_v and_o so_o be_v sin_n threaten_v with_o future-death_n as_o for_o example_n the_o put_v away_o a_o wife_n for_o any_o cause_n and_o heart-murther_n and_o heart-adultery_n also_o i_o have_v make_v apparent_a that_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n the_o jewish_a doctor_n teach_v and_o it_o be_v a_o opinion_n ordinary_o
