it_o be_v self-evident_a that_o that_o law_n condemn_v he_o to_o death_n for_o his_o sin_n and_o that_o it_o be_v simple_o impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v justify_v unto_o life_n by_o that_o very_a

to_o have_v be_v 1_o by_o set_v before_o we_o the_o form_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n of_o work_n to_o recall_v to_o our_o mind_n what_o man_n once_o be_v and_o what_o he_o shall_v still_o have_v

now_o bring_v we_o all_o under_o the_o guilt_n of_o death_n temporal_a and_o eternal_a death_n because_o we_o have_v break_v it_o 3._o to_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o confess_v our_o sin_n and_o misery_n and_o to_o put_v we_o upon_o search_v whether_o god_n have_v in_o mercy_n provide_v any_o remedy_n against_o our_o sin_n and_o misery_n 4._o to_o make_v we_o willing_a to_o receive_v and_o use_v the_o

for_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o make_v we_o flee_v for_o refuge_n unto_o christ_n our_o help_n and_o hope_n as_o god_n offer_v he_o to_o we_o in_o the_o new_a covenant_n or_o law_n of_o grace_n two_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o any_o man_n take_v this_o course_n assoon_o as_o any_o man_n take_v hold_v of_o the_o new_a covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o hearty_o and_o sincere_o by_o faith_n close_v with_o and_o receive_v christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n as_o offer_v and_o hold_v forth_o in_o the_o say_v new_a covenant_n he_o be_v instant_o acquit_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o death_n he_o be_v under_o for_o break_v the_o law_n and_o have_v a_o right_a to_o life_n give_v he_o only_o on_o the_o account_n of_o the_o lord_n redeemer_n christ_n and_o his_o satisfactory_a meritorious_a righteousness_n receive_v and_o apply_v by_o faith_n alone_o and_o so_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n for_o though_o faith_n in_o christ_n the_o mediator_n be_v in_o itself_o a_o heart-work_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v not_o any_o of_o those_o work_n which_o the_o first_o covenant_n or_o law_n of_o work_n do_v require_v to_o justification_n it_o be_v neither_o a_o work_n which_o the_o natural_a moral_a law_n by_o itself_o immediate_o require_v nor_o yet_o be_v it_o a_o work_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o law_n of_o work_n for_o work_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o that_o law_n and_o covenant_n they_o signify_v that_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n whereby_o a_o man_n in_o his_o own_o person_n fulsill_n the_o

of_o that_o obedience_n which_o sulfill_v the_o law_n and_o for_o which_o a_o penitent_a believer_n be_v justify_v it_o be_v only_a christ_n obedience_n unto_o death_n even_o the_o death_n of_o the_o

to_o have_v interest_n in_o it_o and_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o and_o for_o it_o alone_o 3._o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o though_o upon_o our_o first_o take_v hold_n of_o god_n new_a covenant_n and_o law_n of_o grace_n by_o faith_n we_o be_v for_o christ_n sake_n alone_o instant_o acquit_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o death_n and_o receive_v a_o right_n to_o life_n yet_o god_n have_v make_v it_o one_o of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n that_o according_a to_o our_o time_n and_o talent_n we_o must_v afterward_o yield_v sincere_a obedience_n to_o his_o several_a law_n and_o institution_n both_o moral_a natural_a and_o positive_a before_o we_o be_v admit_v to_o full_a possession_n of_o eternal_a life_n in_o heavenly_a glory_n god_n do_v not_o require_v this_o sincere_a obedience_n in_o order_n to_o our_o be_v first_o justify_v but_o in_o order_n to_o our_o be_v at_o last_o glorify_v and_o he_o require_v it_o as_o a_o necessary_a condition_n to_o qualify_v and_o prepare_v we_o for_o the_o full_a possession_n of_o that_o heavenly_a glory_n which_o christ_n have_v purchase_v for_o we_o and_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n give_v unto_o we_o hence_o 4._o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o thus_o the_o moral_a natural_a law_n itself_o come_v to_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n or_o law_n of_o grace_n and_o to_o belong_v to_o the_o gospel_n so_o far_o as_o that_o sincere_a obedience_n to_o it_o together_o with_o all_o god_n positive_a law_n and_o institution_n be_v make_v a_o article_n of_o the_o gospel_n covenant_n and_o a_o condition_n necessary_a to_o be_v perform_v by_o we_o before_o we_o enjoy_v the_o ultimate_a benefit_n promise_v in_o the_o say_a covenant_n 5._o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o we_o must_v distinguish_v careful_o betwixt_o what_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o its_o precept_n require_v of_o believer_n and_o what_o it_o require_v as_o come_v under_o a_o new_a ferm_n that_o be_v plain_o as_o clothe_v with_o a_o new_a sanction_n to_o wit_n the_o sanction_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n the_o moral_a law_n as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o its_o precept_n do_v still_o require_v of_o all_o even_o of_o believer_n a_o perfect_a ever_o sinless_a obedience_n de_fw-fr futuro_fw-la but_o there_o be_v this_o vast_a difference_n between_o the_o case_n of_o believer_n and_o unbeliever_n that_o though_o for_o every_o the_o least_o disobedience_n it_o condemn_v the_o unbeliever_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o nor_o can_v it_o condemn_v the_o true_a penirent_a believer_n who_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o spirit_n because_o the_o apostle_n say_v there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n rom._n 8.1_o such_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n not_o under_o its_o condemmng_a power_n but_o under_o grace_n rom._n 6.14_o in_o the_o second_o sense_n the_o moral_a law_n formal_o consider_v as_o clothe_v with_o the_o new_a covenant_n form_n that_o be_v with_o the_o sanction_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n so_o it_o require_v not_o of_o true_a penitent_a believer_n a_o ever_o sinless_a and_o most_o perfect_a personal_a perpetual_a obedience_n as_o a_o mean_n or_o condition_n necessary_a to_o qualify_v and_o prepare_v they_o for_o the_o possession_n of_o eternal_a glory_n but_o it_o require_v of_o they_o or_o god_n by_o it_o as_o take_v into_o the_o gospel_n require_v of_o they_o only_o sincere_a evangelical_n obedience_n perseverance_n in_o true_a faith_n and_o sincere_a holiness_n under_o that_o formal_a consideration_n as_o a_o mean_n or_o condition_n necessary_a to_o the_o end_n

g's_o confirmation_n or_o illustration_n of_o his_o four_o objection_n by_o a_o comparison_n take_v from_o a_o earthly_a physician_n who_o threaten_v his_o patient_n with_o death_n if_o he_o do_v

this_o that_o just_o so_o though_o the_o gospel_n threaten_v a_o unbeliever_n with_o eternal_a death_n if_o he_o do_v not_o by_o a_o true_a faith_n receive_v christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n offer_v to_o he_o in_o the_o new_a covenant_n or_o law_n of_o grace_n yet_o the_o threaten_a be_v no_o part_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n which_o be_v to_o be_v receive_v as_o the_o spiritual_a physic_n of_o the_o soul_n nor_o do_v the_o gospel_n design_n by_o the_o say_v threaten_v to_o damn_v the_o unbeliever_n but_o rather_o it_o design_n to_o take_v he_o off_o from_o his_o unbelief_n and_o to_o induce_v he_o thereby_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o by_o believe_v to_o receive_v and_o apply_v the_o spiritual_a physic_n offer_v he_o to_o preserve_v his_o soul_n from_o eternal_a death_n this_o now_o be_v the_o just_a consequence_n and_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o militate_v against_o my_o principle_n that_o it_o rather_o make_v for_o it_o and_o be_v a_o illustration_n of_o it_o for_o these_o two_o thing_n i_o willing_o grant_v 1._o that_o though_o the_o gospel_n covenant_n do_v threaten_v a_o unbeliever_n with_o eternal_a death_n and_o the_o threaten_a be_v a_o secondary_a subservient_fw-fr part_n of_o the_o say_a gospel-covenant_n yet_o the_o threaten_a be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o spiritual_a physic_n itself_o to_o wit_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n reveal_v and_o offer_v in_o the_o gospel-covenant_n to_o be_v receive_v by_o faith_n that_o by_o the_o spiritual_a physic_n so_o receive_v the_o soul_n may_v be_v save_v from_o eternal_a death_n 2._o i_o grant_v that_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o design_n by_o its_o threaten_a to_o damn_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o unbeliever_n but_o rather_o it_o design_n to_o preserve_v he_o from_o damnation_n by_o take_v he_o off_o from_o his_o unbelief_n and_o by_o persuade_v he_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n that_o through_o he_o he_o may_v have_v eternal_a life_n and_o here_o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v remember_v that_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o design_n of_o any_o person_n but_o of_o the_o design_n of_o the_o gospel-threatning_a and_o i_o say_v that_o the_o design_a use_n of_o it_o be_v not_o to_o damn_v the_o unbeliever_n but_o rather_o to_o bring_v he_o off_o from_o his_o unbelief_n and_o so_o to_o preserve_v he_o from_o damnation_n according_a to_o that_o of_o

from_o christ_n as_o be_v show_v before_o from_o mark_n 16.15_o 16._o i_o conclude_v this_o with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o judicious_a mr._n hutcheson_n 39.40_o hutcheson_n hutcheson_n on_o john_n
