reconcile_v unto_o god_n and_o a_o other_o that_o be_v not_o one_o that_o be_v not_o reconcile_v unto_o god_n in_o christ_n be_v so_o under_o the_o law_n as_o every_o sin_n he_o commit_v be_v it_o little_a or_o great_a do_v put_v he_o under_o the_o sentence_n and_o curse_v of_o eternal_a death_n the_o neglect_n of_o any_o duty_n be_v it_o never_o so_o small_a do_v it_o but_o now_o here_o be_v the_o privilege_n of_o a_o beleiver_n when_o thou_o be_v once_o a_o beleiver_n and_o so_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n then_o the_o sin_n thou_o commit_v those_o shall_v indeed_o be_v for_o thy_o humiliation_n but_o there_o be_v none_o of_o they_o that_o do_v put_v thou_o under_o the_o sentence_n of_o eternal_a death_n neither_o upon_o this_o ground_n be_v thou_o to_o keep_v the_o law_n that_o be_v to_o keep_v it_o so_o as_o to_o think_v that_o if_o thou_o do_v it_o not_o or_o that_o every_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v put_v thou_o under_o the_o sentence_n of_o eternal_a death_n indeed_o other_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n they_o must_v look_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n whether_o they_o be_v able_a or_o not_o but_o the_o law_n have_v no_o power_n over_o thou_o that_o way_n and_o thou_o be_v not_o upon_o that_o ground_n to_o keep_v it_o and_o therefore_o thy_o sin_n which_o thou_o commit_v do_v not_o put_v thou_o under_o the_o sententence_n of_o eternal_a death_n as_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o do_v there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n &_o it_o be_v true_a of_o every_o moment_n and_o instant_n of_o time_n that_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n i_o will_v give_v you_o another_o scripture_n for_o this_o that_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o other_o though_o not_o perhaps_o so_o much_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o be_v in_o rom._n 7.5_o for_o when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n the_o motion_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v by_o the_o law_n do_v work_v in_o our_o member_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n note_v the_o motion_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v by_o the_o law_n do_v work_v in_o our_o member_n what_o do_v they_o do_v they_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n and_o fruit_n unto_o death_n this_o the_o bless_a apostle_n say_v be_v when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o now_o be_v believer_n though_o we_o have_v the_o remaining_n the_o motion_n of_o sin_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o such_o as_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n none_o of_o the_o sin_n of_o beleiver_n bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n for_o they_o be_v deliver_v from_o that_o power_n of_o the_o law_n that_o the_o law_n can_v come_v with_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o they_o this_o be_v a_o high_a privilege_n of_o believer_n and_o the_o right_a knowledge_n of_o this_o will_v help_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v that_o our_o peace_n with_o god_n be_v so_o break_v that_o god_n be_v our_o enemy_n through_o every_o sin_n which_o through_o humane_a frailty_n be_v commit_v object_n you_o will_v say_v what_o need_v then_o believer_n to_o be_v careful_a to_o avoid_v sin_n may_v they_o not_o take_v liberty_n to_o walk_v as_o they_o listen_v o_o no_o there_o be_v other_o argument_n beside_o this_o indeed_o have_v they_o a_o slaveish_a spirit_n have_v they_o no_o other_o argument_n to_o persuade_v they_o from_o sin_n but_o this_o that_o sin_n will_v make_v god_n and_o they_o enemy_n it_o be_v somewhat_o man_n that_o object_n and_o say_v that_o beleiver_n may_v do_v what_o they_o listen_v because_o their_o peace_n with_o god_n can_v be_v break_v the_o truth_n be_v they_o themselves_o have_v slavish_a heart_n and_o they_o do_v not_o know_v the_o strength_n of_o other_o argument_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o sin_n i_o dear_a bold_o affirm_v this_o that_o a_o believer_n shall_v not_o upon_o the_o commission_n of_o sin_n think_v that_o therefore_o he_o be_v now_o under_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n if_o so_o be_v it_o be_v such_o a_o sin_n as_o may_v stand_v with_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n as_o many_o weakness_n and_o frailty_n may_v for_o there_o be_v some_o sin_n as_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n which_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o which_o if_o beleiver_n live_v in_o they_o shall_v die_v you_o will_v say_v what_o can_v they_o perish_v eternal_o yet_o this_o be_v make_v as_o a_o mean_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n but_o if_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n which_o god_n grace_n will_v keep_v they_o from_o do_v in_o a_o constant_a way_n they_o shall_v die_v and_o so_o far_o they_o may_v apprehend_v eternal_a death_n be_v due_a unto_o they_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o to_o fall_v into_o that_o condition_n to_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n but_o it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o a_o beleiver_n upon_o every_o sin_n he_o commit_v shall_v be_v under_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n for_o be_v once_o believer_n we_o be_v free_v from_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n after_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n in_o rom._n 5._o he_o answer_v this_o objection_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o shall_v we_o continue_v in_o sin_n that_o grace_n may_v abound_v god_n forbid_v how_o shall_v we_o that_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n live_v any_o long_a therein_o and_o then_o follow_v even_o as_o sin_n have_v reign_v unto_o death_n so_o grace_n must_v reign_v through_o righteousness_n to_o eternal_a life_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n reign_v domineer_v over_o all_o thing_n that_o come_v to_o oppose_v it_o even_o over_o all_o our_o infirmity_n over_o all_o our_o sin_n over_o whatsoever_o may_v seem_v to_o contradict_v it_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n reign_v there_o be_v a_o domineer_a power_n in_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n over_o all_o thing_n that_o will_v contradict_v it_o but_o this_o be_v through_o righteousness_n thou_o have_v sin_n in_o thou_o that_o will_v oppose_v god_n reconcile_a grace_n but_o it_o ●aigns_v notwithstanding_o that_o sin_n of_o thou_o and_o it_o reign_v to_o eternal_a life_n it_o have_v a_o reign_a power_n to_o carry_v thou_o through_o all_o difficulty_n and_o hindrance_n to_o eternal_a life_n and_o all_o through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n therefore_o believer_n that_o they_o may_v keep_v their_o peace_n with_o god_n be_v to_o look_v upon_o all_o duty_n require_v in_o the_o law_n as_o bound_v to_o do_v they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o free_v from_o the_o duty_n the_o law_n require_v their_o relation_n unto_o god_n redeem_v of_o they_o do_v not_o take_v away_o their_o relation_n unto_o god_n as_o a_o creator_n still_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o god_n as_o a_o creator_n as_o well_o as_o a_o redeemer_n but_o they_o shall_v look_v upon_o the_o law_n as_o come_v to_o they_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o excellent_a speech_n which_o luther_n have_v for_o this_o o_o how_o sweet_a say_v he_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n unto_o we_o when_o we_o receive_v they_o not_o as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o book_n but_o as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o wound_n of_o christ_n when_o we_o read_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n in_o the_o wound_n of_o chrst_n and_o receive_v they_o there_o o_o how_o sweet_a be_v they_o then_o then_o we_o obey_v they_o out_o of_o sweet_a principle_n not_o out_o of_o legal_a respect_n as_o if_o upon_o every_o breach_n we_o shall_v be_v bring_v under_o the_o sentence_n of_o eternal_a death_n as_o we_o do_v before_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n in_o rom._n 8.15_o for_o you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n again_o to_o fear_v what_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n that_o cause_v fear_n at_o first_o before_o one_o be_v a_o believer_n be_v this_o either_o perfect_o obey_v the_o law_n or_o perish_v say_v the_o spirit_n even_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n whether_o able_a or_o no_o you_o must_v obey_v every_o thing_n or_o die_v and_o if_o thou_o have_v sin_v against_o the_o law_n thou_o be_v now_o accurse_v notwithstanding_o all_o the_o duty_n that_o thou_o have_v do_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n say_v so_o to_o all_o unbeleiver_n and_o this_o cause_v fear_n but_o say_v the_o apostle_n you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n to_o fear_v again_o though_o perhaps_o thou_o may_v fear_v upon_o thy_o weakness_n that_o god_n will_v turn_v thy_o enemy_n upon_o every_o breach_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n say_v not_o so_o that_o thou_o be_v therefore_o accurse_v but_o that_o spirit_n enable_v thou_o to_o go_v to_o god_n as_o a_o father_n to_o heal_v thy_o weakness_n and_o to_o give_v thou_o power_n against_o they_o and_o the_o contrary_a
thou_o open_v that_o be_v one_o lo_o i_o come_v and_o then_o i_o delight_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n and_o thy_o law_n be_v within_o my_o heart_n there_o be_v these_o four_o lo_o i_o come_v say_v christ_n to_o do_v it_o it_o appear_v plain_o that_o there_o be_v a_o covenant_n between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n from_o all_o eternity_n that_o christ_n shall_v come_v in_o due_a time_n into_o the_o world_n and_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o now_o the_o time_n be_v for_o christ_n to_o come_v there_o be_v many_o that_o will_v agree_v to_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n beforehand_o but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v do_v if_o they_o see_v there_o will_v be_v any_o difficulty_n in_o it_o and_o that_o they_o shall_v endure_v some_o hardship_n they_o hang_v back_o but_o christ_n have_v agree_v from_o all_o eternity_n with_o his_o father_n that_o at_o such_o a_o time_n he_o will_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o take_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n upon_o he_o and_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o man_n sin_n and_o all_o that_o he_o may_v reconcile_v sinner_n unto_o himself_o this_o be_v the_o agreement_n now_o the_o time_n approach_v for_o he_o to_o come_v and_o undertake_v this_o great_a work_n when_o the_o time_n come_v observe_v now_o how_o christ_n heart_n be_v in_o it_o he_o do_v not_o hang_v back_o he_o do_v not_o repent_v he_o of_o the_o covenant_n but_o i_o come_v i_o come_v say_v christ_n as_o we_o use_v to_o express_v ourselves_o when_o we_o be_v call_v to_o do_v a_o thing_n that_o we_o love_v to_o do_v we_o say_v i_o come_v i_o come_v now_o the_o time_n be_v come_v for_o you_o to_o do_v that_o which_o you_o undertake_v to_o do_v to_o go_v into_o the_o world_n to_o take_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v make_v in_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o to_o bear_v my_o wrath_n and_o to_o satisfy_v my_o justice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n i_o come_v i_o come_v say_v christ_n and_o he_o do_v not_o only_o come_v but_o come_v with_o delight_n to_o do_v thy_o will_n and_o what_o be_v this_o will_n it_o be_v that_o christ_n shall_v be_v humble_v to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n though_o i_o know_v it_o will_v cost_v my_o life_n yet_o i_o delight_v to_o do_v it_o because_o my_o heart_n be_v so_o much_o set_v upon_o reconcile_a sinner_n unto_o thyself_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o thy_o law_n be_v in_o my_o heart_n it_o have_v get_v a_o deep_a impression_n in_o my_o heart_n thy_o law_n that_o i●_n that_o law_n of_o thou_o whereby_o i_o be_o tie_v to_o this_o that_o i_o have_v undertake_v for_o it_o be_v within_o my_o heart_n in_o the_o very_a midst_n of_o my_o bowel_n that_o i_o shall_v do_v it_o and_o then_o four_o mine_n ear_n have_v thou_o open_v the_o word_n be_v my_o ear_n have_v thou_o bore_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o phrase_n must_v be_v understand_v by_o compare_v it_o that_o way_n which_o be_v of_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n command_v that_o if_o a_o servant_n will_v not_o go_v out_o of_o his_o service_n in_o the_o year_n of_o jubilee_n that_o his_o master_n shall_v take_v a_o awl_n and_o boar_n his_o ear_n and_o so_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o servant_n forever_o this_o phrase_n have_v allusion_n to_o that_o as_o if_o christ_n shall_v say_v thus_o i_o be_o content_a that_o i_o may_v do_v this_o work_n to_o be_v as_o a_o servant_n who_o ear_n be_v bore_v who_o must_v be_v a_o servant_n for_o ever_o so_o say_v christ_n that_o i_o may_v accomplish_v the_o work_n of_o reconcile_a sinner_n to_o thyself_o i_o be_o content_a to_o be_v as_o a_o servant_n who_o ear_n be_v bore_v thereby_o signifie_v that_o he_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o listen_v to_o any_o thing_n that_o shall_v be_v command_v he_o his_o master_n commandment_n be_v not_o
