former_a dissension_n between_o you_o it_o will_v be_v a_o evidence_n that_o will_v prove_v a_o strong_a presumption_n that_o you_o be_v the_o murderer_n but_o if_o the_o fact_n be_v certain_a by_o other_o evidence_n than_o many_o such_o thing_n may_v be_v bring_v for_o aggravation_n of_o the_o fault_n so_o a_o twofold_a evidence_n will_v be_v bring_v against_o the_o sinner_n from_o these_o thing_n one_o to_o prove_v he_o guilty_a of_o the_o fact_n the_o other_o to_o aggravate_v the_o fault_n and_o prove_v that_o his_o sin_n be_v very_o great_a for_o the_o former_a 1._o the_o very_a

the_o last_o destroy_v fire_n which_o shall_v consume_v all_o the_o

neglect_n and_o abuse_v of_o this_o they_o shall_v be_v judge_v and_o not_o mere_o for_o sin_v against_o the_o law_n that_o be_v give_v we_o in_o pure_a innocency_n so_o that_o christ_n as_o

receive_v it_o but_o if_o any_o be_v unsatisfied_a in_o this_o let_v they_o remember_v that_o as_o god_n have_v leave_v the_o state_n of_o such_o more_o dark_a to_o we_o and_o the_o term_n on_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v they_o so_o do_v it_o much_o more_o concern_v we_o to_o look_v to_o the_o term_n of_o our_o own_o judgement_n obj._n but_o how_o shall_v insant_n be_v judge_v by_o the_o

to_o their_o own_o thought_n vii_o for_o the_o seven_o head_n what_o will_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o day_n to_o be_v enqu●ed_v after_o what_o the_o accusation_n and_o what_o the_o defence_n answ_n this_o may_v be_v gather_v from_o what_o be_v last_o say_v the_o great_a cause_n of_o the_o day_n will_v be_v to_o inquire_v and_o determine_v who_o shall_v die_v and_o who_o shall_v live_v who_o ought_v to_o go_v to_o heaven_n and_o who_o to_o hell_n for_o ever_o according_a to_o the_o law_n by_o which_o they_o must_v then_o be_v judge_v 1._o as_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a law_n by_o which_o they_o must_v be_v judge_v so_o will_v there_o then_o be_v a_o twofold_a accusation_n the_o first_o will_v be_v that_o they_o be_v sinner_n and_o so_o have_v violate_v the_o law_n of_o god_n they_o deserve_v everlasting_a death_n according_a to_o that_o law_n if_o no_o defence_n can_v be_v make_v this_o one_o accusation_n will_v condemn_v all_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o all_o be_v sinner_n and_o as_o certain_a that_o all_o sin_n deserve_v death_n the_o only_a defence_n against_o this_o accusation_n ●ieth_v in_o this_o plea_n confess_v the_o charge_n we_o must_v plead_v that_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v for_o sin_n and_o upon_o that_o consideration_n god_n have_v forgive_v we_o and_o therefore_o be_v forgive_v we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v to_o prove_v this_o we_o must_v show_v the_o pardon_n under_o god_n hand_n in_o the_o gospel_n but_o because_o this_o pardon_v don_v act_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v forgive_v none_o but_o those_o that_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o so_o return_v to_o god_n and_o to_o sincere_a obedience_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v therefore_o the_o next_o accusation_n will_v be_v that_o we_o do_v not_o perform_v these_o condition_n of_o forgiveness_n and_o therefore_o be_v unbeliever_n impenitent_a and_o rebel_n against_o the_o redeemer_n we_o have_v no_o right_n to_o pardon_n but_o by_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v liable_a to_o a_o great_a punishment_n for_o this_o contempt_n of_o christ_n and_o grace_n this_o accusation_n be_v either_o true_a or_o false_a where_o it_o be_v true_a god_n and_o conscience_n who_o speak_v the_o truth_n may_v well_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o accuser_n where_o it_o be_v false_a it_o can_v be_v only_o the_o work_n of_o satan_n the_o malicious_a adversary_n who_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o job_n case_n will_v not_o stick_v to_o bring_v a_o false_a accusation_n if_o any_o think_v that_o the_o accuser_n will_v not_o do_v so_o vain_a a_o work_n at_o least_o they_o may_v see_v that_o potential_o this_o be_v the_o accusation_n that_o lie_v against_o we_o and_o which_o we_o must_v be_v justify_v against_o for_o all_o justification_n imply_v a_o actual_a or_o potential_a accusation_n he_o that_o be_v true_o accuse_v of_o final_a impenitency_n or_o unbelief_n or_o rebellion_n have_v no_o other_o defence_n to_o make_v but_o must_v needs_o be_v condemn_v he_o that_o be_v false_o accuse_v of_o such_o non-performance_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o grace_n must_v deny_v the_o accusation_n and_o plead_v his_o own_o personal_a righteousness_n as_o against_o that_o accusation_n and_o produce_v that_o faith_n repentance_n and_o sincere_a obedience_n and_o perseverance_n by_o which_o he_o fulfil_v that_o condition_n and_o so_o be_v evangilical_o righteous_a in_o himself_o and_o therefore_o have_v part_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v instead_o of_o a_o legal_a righteousness_n to_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n else_o as_o have_v procure_v he_o a_o pardon_n of_o all_o his_o sin_n and_o a_o right_n to_o everlasting_a glory_n and_o thus_o we_o must_v then_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n satisfaction_n only_o against_o the_o accusation_n of_o be_v sinner_n in_o general_a and_o of_o deserve_a god_n wrath_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o work_n but_o we_o must_v be_v justify_v by_o our_o faith_n repentance_n and_o sincere_a obedience_n itself_o against_o the_o accusation_n of_o be_v impenitent_a unbeliever_n and_o rebel_n against_o christ_n and_o have_v not_o perform_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o so_o have_v no_o part_n in_o christ_n and_o his_o benefit_n so_o that_o in_o sum_n you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o day_n will_v be_v to_o inquire_v whether_o be_v all_o know_a sinner_n we_o have_v accept_v of_o christ_n upon_o his_o term_n and_o so_o have_v right_o in_o he_o and_o his_o benefit_n or_o not_o whether_o they_o have_v forsake_v this_o vain_a

whether_o we_o have_v perform_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o have_v the_o rather_o also_o say_v all_o this_o to_o show_v you_o in_o what_o sense_n these_o word_n be_v take_v in_o the_o

shall_v be_v judge_v to_o everlasting_a life_n according_a to_o these_o work_n not_o because_o these_o work_n deserve_v it_o but_o because_o the_o free_a gift_n in_o the_o gospel_n through_o the_o
