one_o point_n he_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o there_o be_v several_a passage_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n which_o at_o the_o first_o hear_n do_v sound_a very_o harsh_o and_o seem_v to_o savour_v of_o overgreat_a severity_n that_o upon_o due_a consideration_n be_v find_v to_o have_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o what_o be_v high_o reasonable_a to_o omit_v other_o this_o text_n be_v one_o of_o those_o passage_n and_o many_o no_o doubt_n have_v be_v startle_v at_o it_o and_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v as_o the_o disciple_n of_o our_o saviour_n do_v upon_o another_o occasion_n this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n who_o can_v hear_v it_o for_o can_v this_o doctrine_n be_v true_a that_o whosoever_o shall_v keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o yet_o offend_v in_o one_o point_n be_v guilty_a of_o all_o and_o we_o be_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n deal_v with_o according_a to_o the_o gentleness_n and_o clemency_n of_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v this_o the_o gospel_n we_o talk_v so_o much_o of_o be_v this_o the_o glad-tyding_n which_o our_o saviour_n have_v bring_v we_o we_o find_v none_o so_o bad_a we_o read_v nothing_o so_o sad_a in_o all_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o worst_a passage_n there_o be_v and_o that_o be_v bad_a enough_o curse_a be_v he_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v no_o where_o there_o say_v that_o he_o who_o be_v never_o so_o careful_a to_o observe_v the_o whole_a law_n if_o he_o chance_v to_o transgress_v in_o any_o one_o point_n shall_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o transgressor_n of_o all_o the_o commandment_n and_o deal_v with_o like_o such_o a_o one_o that_o other_o say_v be_v a_o very_a terrible_a one_o but_o this_o be_v much_o more_o terrible_a if_o this_o be_v so_o we_o may_v well_o repeat_v that_o other_o question_n of_o the_o disciple_n who_o then_o can_v be_v save_v in_o many_o thing_n we_o offend_v all_o if_o therefore_o he_o who_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o yet_o offend_v in_o one_o point_n be_v guilty_a of_o all_o how_o desperate_a must_v the_o case_n not_o only_o of_o the_o generality_n need_v be_v but_o of_o every_o individual_a person_n i_o must_v confess_v that_o these_o word_n may_v well_o confound_v we_o and_o fill_v we_o with_o amazement_n be_v they_o to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o severe_a sense_n they_o be_v capable_a of_o but_o we_o be_v certain_a they_o be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v and_o therefore_o that_o the_o forementioned_a paraphrase_n upon_o they_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n a_o true_a one_o and_o the_o context_n show_v that_o this_o be_v the_o plain_a mean_v of_o they_o viz._n upon_o supposition_n that_o a_o man_n be_v careful_a to_o observe_v all_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o one_o his_o live_n in_o the_o breach_n of_o that_o one_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v connive_v at_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o obedience_n to_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v liable_a to_o the_o punishment_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n that_o be_v the_o same_o punishment_n for_o kind_n not_o for_o degree_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o plain_o reveal_v than_o that_o the_o more_o and_o the_o great_a sin_n man_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o great_a and_o severe_a shall_v be_v their_o punishment_n and_o in_o say_v that_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v have_v the_o same_o punishment_n for_o kind_n i_o mean_v that_o which_o consist_v in_o be_v forever_o banish_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o which_o be_v call_v eternal_a death_n now_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o this_o assertion_n of_o our_o apostle_n thus_o understand_v may_v be_v full_o make_v to_o appear_v by_o these_o follow_a consideration_n first_o he_o who_o refuse_v obedience_n to_o any_o one_o of_o the_o divine_a law_n may_v as_o true_o be_v say_v to_o contemn_v the_o divine_a authority_n as_o if_o he_o live_v in_o the_o breach_n of_o all_o man_n in_o wilful_o disobey_v any_o one_o law_n do_v put_v as_o true_a a_o affront_n upon_o the_o lawgiver_n though_o not_o so_o high_a a_o one_o as_o they_o do_v in_o disobey_v all_o this_o reason_n st._n james_n give_v in_o the_o word_n next_o follow_v for_o what_o he_o affirm_v in_o the_o text_n for_o he_o that_o say_v do_v not_o commit_v adultery_n say_v also_o do_v not_o kill_v now_o if_o thou_o commit_v no_o adultery_n yet_o if_o thou_o kill_v thou_o be_v become_v a_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v it_o be_v the_o same_o lawgiver_n who_o have_v forbid_v adultery_n and_o murder_n and_o his_o authority_n be_v as_o true_o contemn_v in_o transgress_v one_o as_o both_o of_o these_o law_n every_o deliberate_a act_n of_o disobedience_n be_v flat_a rebellion_n and_o so_o for_o forth_o a_o renounce_v of_o god_n right_a to_o govern_v we_o it_o be_v a_o virtual_a denial_n of_o his_o authority_n to_o prescribe_v any_o law_n to_o we_o and_o lay_v a_o foundation_n for_o universal_a disobedience_n for_o if_o god_n almighty_n sovereignty_n be_v disacknowledge_v in_o any_o one_o instance_n it_o may_v as_o well_o be_v so_o in_o all_o other_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o lead_v to_o the_o violation_n of_o one_o law_n do_v enervate_a and_o render_v invalid_a all_o other_o law_n again_o second_o he_o who_o wilful_o disobey_v any_o one_o of_o the_o divine_a law_n be_v no_o sincere_a observer_n of_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n for_o whosoever_o allow_v himself_o in_o any_o one_o act_n of_o disobedience_n have_v no_o true_a love_n either_o for_o god_n or_o goodness_n but_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o sincerity_n of_o obedience_n that_o it_o proceed_v from_o that_o love_n which_o have_v both_o these_o for_o its_o object_n that_o it_o proceed_v from_o love_n to_o god_n and_o which_o be_v indeed_o material_o the_o same_o love_n to_o goodness_n goodness_n or_o universal_a righteousness_n purity_n and_o benignity_n be_v that_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o which_o god_n almighty_a be_v a_o lovely_a be_v now_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o those_o who_o live_v in_o any_o disobedience_n to_o god_n do_v not_o love_n he_o they_o love_v he_o not_o according_a to_o the_o scripture-notion_n of_o loving_n god_n because_o whatsoever_o that_o be_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o which_o we_o can_v find_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o disobey_v he_o must_v needs_o be_v value_v and_o esteem_v above_o he_o and_o the_o scripture-notion_n of_o loving_n god_n be_v the_o esteem_v he_o above_o and_o prefer_v he_o before_o all_o creature_n he_o who_o have_v no_o true_a love_n for_o god_n may_v obey_v he_o in_o many_o instance_n as_o the_o poor_a pagan_n worship_n the_o devil_n out_o of_o a_o slavish_a fear_n and_o dread_a of_o he_o he_o may_v obey_v he_o too_o as_o a_o mere_a mercenary_a i_o mean_v for_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n and_o a_o sensual_a kind_n of_o happiness_n in_o the_o other_o but_o this_o obedience_n be_v far_o from_o be_v genuine_a or_o the_o true_a evangelical_n obedience_n as_o be_v easy_a to_o show_v and_o again_o it_o be_v no_o less_o apparent_a that_o the_o love_n of_o virtue_n and_o true_a goodness_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o harbour_v any_o thing_n in_o our_o breast_n that_o be_v contrary_a there_o to_o three_o he_o who_o live_v in_o disobedience_n to_o any_o one_o law_n of_o god_n as_o he_o obey_v none_o sincere_o so_o be_v he_o prepare_v to_o break_v all_o other_o law_n and_o that_o in_o the_o gross_a manner_n whensoever_o forceable_a temptation_n may_v assault_v he_o for_o if_o the_o divine_a authority_n can_v prevail_v with_o a_o man_n to_o abstain_v from_o this_o or_o that_o sin_n how_o be_v it_o to_o be_v expect_v it_o shall_v restrain_v he_o from_o other_o sin_n when_o he_o may_v happen_v to_o be_v incite_v to_o they_o by_o alike_o strong_a and_o violent_a temptation_n such_o a_o one_o may_v forbear_v not_o a_o few_o sin_n while_o he_o be_v not_o at_o all_o or_o not_o very_o violent_o set_v upon_o by_o a_o tempter_n but_o if_o god_n shall_v once_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v sharp_o encounter_v either_o from_o without_o or_o from_o within_o it_o be_v not_o hard_a to_o divine_v what_o
