and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o christ_n die_v to_o purchase_v this_o which_o he_o can_v give_v we_o a_o great_a right_n to_o than_o we_o have_v before_o his_o death_n if_o subjection_n and_o nonresistance_n be_v our_o duty_n before_o and_o cease_v to_o be_v our_o duty_n now_o then_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n have_v cancel_v the_o obligation_n of_o our_o duty_n and_o purchase_v a_o liberty_n and_o freedom_n not_o to_o do_v that_o now_o which_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o nature_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v before_o that_o be_v christ_n by_o his_o death_n have_v abrogate_a not_o only_o the_o ceremonial_a but_o some_o moral_a law_n which_o i_o show_v you_o before_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o design_n of_o his_o undertake_n 2._o it_o be_v strange_o unaccountable_a how_o obedience_n to_o any_o law_n shall_v abrogate_v and_o cancel_v it_o how_o christ_n by_o subjection_n to_o the_o high_a power_n shall_v for_o ever_o after_o deliver_v his_o disciple_n from_o the_o necessity_n of_o subjection_n and_o make_v they_o free_a from_o the_o authority_n and_o government_n of_o prince_n whenever_o they_o dislike_v their_o government_n a_o typical_a law_n may_v be_v fulfil_v and_o receive_v its_o just_a accomplishment_n and_o then_o its_o obligation_n cease_v thus_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n fulfil_v the_o levitical_a sacrifice_n and_o put_v a_o end_n to_o they_o but_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o moral_a law_n be_v confirm_v and_o strengthen_v not_o abrogate_a and_o disannul_v by_o great_a example_n when_o christ_n quiet_o and_o patient_o submit_v to_o the_o most_o unjust_a sentence_n in_o obedience_n to_o lawful_a authority_n he_o either_o do_v well_o or_o ill_o in_o it_o if_o he_o do_v ill_a his_o example_n indeed_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imitate_v but_o if_o he_o do_v well_o how_o do_v his_o do_v well_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o obligation_n of_o do_v well_o do_v his_o do_v well_o make_v it_o ill_o for_o we_o to_o do_v as_o he_o do_v why_o do_v not_o his_o perfect_a and_o unsinning_a obedience_n as_o well_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o obligation_n of_o all_o the_o other_o law_n of_o god_n as_o from_o obedience_n and_o subjection_n to_o prince_n the_o antinomian_o indeed_o be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n in_o our_o stead_n and_o that_o every_o believer_n have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o fulfil_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n as_o a_o condition_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o absurd_a as_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o life_n and_o death_n have_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n and_o cancel_v any_o one_o law_n of_o god_n the_o law_n be_v in_o force_n still_o and_o the_o duty_n be_v the_o same_o but_o the_o law_n can_v take_v hold_n of_o they_o nor_o exact_v a_o personal_a righteousness_n from_o they_o because_o they_o have_v already_o fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o christ._n but_o now_o these_o man_n must_v say_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o only_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o subjection_n and_o nonresistance_n as_o a_o condition_n of_o salvation_n but_o have_v cancel_v it_o as_o a_o rule_n of_o life_n 3._o the_o death_n of_o christ_n can_v not_o purchase_v any_o civil_a right_n or_o liberty_n which_o we_o have_v not_o before_o nor_o make_v any_o change_n in_o the_o external_a fortune_n or_o condition_n of_o man_n the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v represent_v in_o scripture_n either_o as_o a_o atonement_n or_o expiation_n of_o sin_n or_o as_o the_o purchase_n and_o seal_v of_o the_o new_a covenant_n now_o how_o do_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n by_o expiate_v our_o sin_n deliver_v we_o from_o subjection_n to_o our_o civil_a governor_n what_o connexion_n be_v there_o between_o the_o expiation_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o our_o freedom_n from_o the_o authority_n of_o prince_n that_o he_o who_o do_v one_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o do_v the_o other_o and_o as_o for_o the_o new_a covenant_n where_o do_v that_o grant_n any_o new_a franchise_n and_o liberty_n to_o

liberty_n &_o freedom_n to_o his_o subject_n but_o it_o be_v a_o liberty_n of_o another_o nature_n a_o liberty_n from_o the_o power_n and_o dominion_n of_o sin_n you_o shall_v know_v the_o truth_n

34_o 35_o 36_o v._n but_o do_v not_o st._n paul_n advise_v the_o corinthian_n to_o assert_v even_o their_o civil_a and_o political_a freedom_n when_o they_o can_v and_o that_o from_o this_o argument_n that_o they_o be_v the_o freeman_n of_o christ_n which_o seem_v to_o intimate_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o connexion_n between_o our_o spiritual_a and_o civil_a liberty_n that_o it_o do_v not_o

christ_n servant_n you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n be_v not_o the_o servant_n of_o man_n but_o what_o be_v it_o they_o will_v prove_v from_o these_o word_n that_o our_o subjection_n to_o man_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o our_o freedom_n in_o christ_n that_o the_o apostle_n express_o deny_v for_o he_o that_o be_v a_o servont_n be_v christ_n freeman_n or_o that_o christ_n when_o he_o make_v we_o free_a do_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o subjection_n of_o man_n not_o that_o neither_o for_o he_o do_v not_o advise_v christian_a servant_n to_o leave_v their_o master_n as_o he_o may_v and_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v if_o christ_n have_v bestow_v this_o civil_a liberty_n on_o they_o but_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o this_o that_o when_o onesimus_n have_v run_v away_o from_o his_o master_n philemon_n and_o be_v convert_v by_o st._n paul_n and_o prove_v very_o useful_a and_o serviceable_a in_o the_o ministry_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o detain_v he_o from_o his_o master_n without_o ask_v his_o leave_n which_o occasion_v the_o epistle_n to_o philemon_n as_o you_o may_v see_v 10_o 11_o 12_o etc._n etc._n and_o in_o this_o place_n he_o advise_v the_o christian_a servant_n not_o to_o be_v

they_o shall_v choose_v to_o do_v it_o which_o be_v upon_o many_o account_n more_o desirable_a especial_o when_o christian_n be_v servant_n to_o heathen_a master_n as_o it_o often_o be_v in_o those_o day_n but_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n express_o tell_v they_o you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n be_v not_o you_o the_o servant_n of_o man_n yes_o he_o do_v but_o sure_o this_o can_v signify_v that_o servant_n shall_v cast_v off_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o master_n for_o that_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o what_o he_o have_v advise_v they_o before_o and_o contrary_a to_o his_o own_o practice_n in_o the_o case_n of_o onesimus_n who_o he_o send_v back_o to_o his_o master_n philemon_n but_o all_o that_o i_o understand_v by_o it_o be_v this_o that_o those_o christian_a servant_n who_o can_v not_o obtain_v their_o freedom_n shall_v yet_o take_v care_n not_o to_o be_v servant_n to_o the_o lust_n and_o passion_n of_o their_o heathen_a master_n for_o though_o a_o state_n of_o

be_v the_o lord_n anoint_v which_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n the_o apostle_n give_v in_o the_o 13_o rom._n 1_o 2._o because_o the_o power_n be_v ordain_v of_o god_n and_o he_o that_o resist_v the_o

this_o phrase_n he_o look_v upon_o the_o external_a ceremony_n of_o anoint_v to_o be_v like_o imposition_n of_o hand_n which_o in_o other_o case_n consecrate_v person_n to_o peculiar_a office_n for_o this_o external_a unction_n be_v only_o a_o visible_a sign_n of_o god_n designation_n of_o they_o to_o such_o a_o office_n and_o when_o that_o be_v plain_a they_o be_v as_o much_o god_n anoint_v without_o this_o visible_a unction_n as_o with_o it_o cyrus_n be_v call_v god_n anoint_v though_o he_o never_o be_v anoint_v by_o any_o prophet_n but_o only_o design_v for_o his_o kingdom_n by_o prophecy_n 45_o isai._n 1._o and_o we_o never_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o any_o king_n have_v this_o external_a unction_n who_o succeed_v in_o the_o kingdom_n by_o right_a of_o inheritance_n unless_o the_o title_n and_o succession_n be_v doubtful_a and_o yet_o they_o be_v the_o lord_n be_v anoint_v too_o that_o be_v be_v place_v in_o the_o throne_n by_o he_o so_o that_o this_o be_v a_o

be_v sacred_a but_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o man_n who_o from_o the_o example_n of_o david_n think_v they_o can_v prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o a_o defensive_a though_o not_o of_o a_o offensive_a war._n for_o david_n when_o he_o flee_v from_o saul_n make_v himself_o captain_n of_o four_o hundred_o man_n 1_o sam._n 22._o 2._o which_o number_n soon_o increase_v to_o six_o hundred_o 1_o sam._n 23._o 13._o and_o still_o every_o day_n increase_v by_o new_a addition_n 1_o chron._n 12._o 1._o now_o why_o shall_v he_o entertain_v these_o man_n but_o to_o defend_v himself_o against_o the_o force_n of_o saul_n that_o be_v to_o make_v a_o defensive_a war_n whenever_o he_o be_v assault_v by_o he_o 1._o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o observe_v that_o david_n invite_v none_o of_o these_o man_n after_o he_o but_o they_o come_v volunteer_n after_o a_o belove_a captain_n and_o general_n which_o show_v how_o formidable_a he_o can_v easy_o have_v make_v himself_o when_o such_o number_n resort_v to_o he_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n 2._o when_o he_o have_v they_o he_o never_o use_v they_o for_o any_o hostile_a act_n against_o saul_n or_o any_o of_o his_o force_n he_o never_o stand_v his_o ground_n when_o he_o hear_v saul_n be_v come_v but_o always_o flee_v and_o his_o man_n with_o he_o man_n who_o be_v never_o use_v to_o fly_v and_o be_v very_o ready_a to_o have_v serve_v he_o against_o saul_n himself_o will_v he_o have_v permit_v they_o and_o i_o suppose_v they_o will_v not_o call_v this_o a_o defensive_a war_n to_o fly_v before_o a_o enemy_n and_o to_o hide_v themselves_o in_o cave_n and_o mountain_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o only_a defensive_a war_n which_o david_n make_v with_o all_o his_o man_n about_o he_o nay_o all_o that_o he_o will_v make_v and_o all_o that_o he_o can_v make_v according_a to_o his_o profess_a principle_n that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n against_o the_o lord_n be_v anoint_v and_o when_o these_o man_n be_v pursue_v as_o david_n be_v by_o a_o enrage_a and_o jealous_a prince_n we_o will_v not_o charge_v they_o with_o rebellion_n though_o they_o fly_v before_o he_o by_o thousand_o in_o a_o company_n 3._o yet_o there_o be_v sufficient_a reason_n why_o david_n shall_v entertain_v these_o man_n who_o voluntary_o resort_v to_o he_o though_o he_o never_o intend_v to_o use_v they_o against_o saul_n for_o some_o of_o they_o serve_v for_o spy_n to_o observe_v saul_n motion_n that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v surprise_v by_o he_o but_o have_v timely_a notice_n to_o make_v his_o escape_n and_o the_o very_a presence_n of_o such_o a_o number_n of_o man_n about_o he_o without_o any_o hostile_a act_n preserve_v he_o from_o be_v seize_v on_o by_o some_o officious_a person_n who_o otherwise_o may_v have_v deliver_v he_o into_o saul_n hand_n and_o he_o be_v anoint_v by_o samuel_n to_o be_v king_n after_o saul_n death_n this_o be_v the_o first_o step_n to_o his_o kingdom_n to_o have_v such_o a_o retinue_n of_o valiant_a man_n about_o he_o which_o make_v his_o advancement_n to_o the_o throne_n more_o easy_a and_o discourage_v any_o opposition_n which_o may_v otherwise_o have_v be_v make_v against_o he_o as_o we_o see_v it_o prove_v in_o the_o event_n and_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v thus_o order_v by_o god_n for_o that_o very_a end_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o

after_o saul_n death_n shall_v facilitate_v his_o advancement_n to_o the_o kingdom_n 2._o it_o be_v object_v further_o that_o david_n intend_v to_o have_v stay_v in_o keilah_n and_o to_o have_v fortify_v it_o against_o saul_n have_v not_o he_o be_v inform_v that_o the_o man_n of_o the_o city_n will_v have_v save_v themselves_o by_o deliver_v he_o up_o to_o saul_n 1_o sam._n 23._o now_o to_o maintain_v any_o strong_a hold_n against_o a_o prince_n be_v a_o act_n of_o war_n though_o it_o be_v but_o a_o defensive_a war._n and_o i_o grant_v it_o be_v so_o but_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o appearance_n that_o david_n ever_o intend_v any_o such_o thing_n david_n and_o his_o man_n by_o god_n appointment_n and_o direction_n have_v fight_v with_o the_o philistine_n and_o smite_v they_o with_o a_o great_a slaughter_n and_o save_v keilah_n from_o they_o and_o as_o it_o be_v probable_a do_v intend_v to_o have_v stay_v some_o time_n in_o keilah_n but_o david_n have_v hear_v that_o saul_n intend_v to_o come_v against_o keilah_n to_o destroy_v the_o city_n and_o take_v he_o and_o inquire_v of_o the_o lord_n about_o it_o and_o receive_v a_o answer_n that_o saul_n will_v come_v against_o the_o city_n he_o inquire_v again_o whether_o the_o man_n of_o keilah_n will_v deliver_v he_o up_o to_o saul_n and_o be_v answer_v that_o they_o will_v and_o upon_o this_o he_o and_o his_o man_n leave_v keilah_n and_o betake_v themselves_o to_o the_o strong_a hold_n in_o the_o wilderness_n but_o now_o be_v it_o likely_a that_o if_o david_n have_v have_v any_o design_n to_o have_v fortify_v keilah_n against_o saul_n he_o will_v have_v be_v afraid_a of_o the_o man_n of_o the_o city_n he_o have_v 600_o man_n with_o he_o in_o keilah_n a_o victorious_a army_n which_o have_v late_o destroy_v the_o philistine_n who_o oppress_v they_o and_o therefore_o can_v easy_o have_v keep_v the_o man_n of_o keilah_n too_o in_o awe_n if_o he_o have_v please_v and_o have_v put_v it_o out_o of_o their_o power_n to_o deliver_v he_o to_o saul_n but_o all_o that_o david_n design_v be_v to_o have_v stay_v there_o as_o long_o as_o he_o can_v and_o when_o saul_n have_v draw_v nigh_o to_o have_v remove_v to_o some_o other_o place_n but_o when_o he_o understand_v the_o treacherous_a inclination_n of_o the_o man_n of_o keilah_n and_o be_v resolve_v against_o all_o act_n of_o hostility_n he_o
