nation_n as_o he_o do_v israel_n to_o come_v in_o to_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o to_o enter_v covenant_n with_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n if_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v and_o they_o believe_v that_o these_o three_o person_n be_v the_o only_a true_a god_n they_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_a into_o their_o name_n they_o be_v to_o come_v and_o to_o come_v so_o as_o to_o be_v sincere_a convert_v they_o be_v to_o engage_v and_o to_o engage_v so_o as_o to_o resolve_v upon_o the_o perform_v the_o whole_a condition_n on_o their_o part_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v if_o they_o fail_v in_o the_o manner_n and_o do_v not_o engage_v so_o as_o they_o ought_v or_o do_v not_o resolve_v upon_o the_o performance_n suppose_v it_o a_o conditional_a engagement_n or_o rather_o resolve_v not_o entire_o but_o in_o part_n or_o so_o far_o as_o to_o take_v god_n for_o their_o god_n and_o king_n in_o opposition_n to_o other_o god_n which_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n of_o that_o covenant_n as_o the_o israelite_n for_o the_o most_o of_o they_o at_o this_o time_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a do_v so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o partial_a but_o not_o total_a hypocrisy_n to_o make_v it_o evil_a in_o itself_o in_o their_o engagement_n ay_o quaere_fw-la whether_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o yet_o still_o what_o they_o be_v call_v to_o and_o if_o it_o be_v they_o must_v and_o for_o aught_o i_o see_v they_o may_v engage_v as_o israel_n do_v where_o they_o fail_v then_o in_o regard_n to_o the_o manner_n they_o be_v to_o be_v reform_v but_o what_o their_o duty_n be_v must_v be_v do_v if_o they_o resolve_v not_o as_o they_o ought_v they_o sin_n i_o suppose_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o engagement_n but_o i_o must_v ask_v whether_o they_o shall_v not_o sin_n more_o if_o they_o engage_v not_o at_o all_o if_o they_o quite_o turn_v their_o back_n upon_o god_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o leave_v both_o the_o manner_n and_o matter_n undo_v you_o may_v object_v but_o can_v we_o think_v that_o the_o people_n can_v say_v they_o will_v do_v all_o god_n command_v and_o god_n approve_v of_o it_o as_o well_o say_v of_o they_o deut._n 5.27_o or_o that_o they_o shall_v make_v a_o covenant_n by_o sacrifice_n pass_v between_o the_o part_n thereof_o jer._n 34.18_o and_o enter_v into_o a_o curse_n and_o oath_n to_o walk_v in_o god_n law_n nehem._n 10.29_o and_o yet_o intend_v nothing_o but_o a_o conditional_a dis-junctive_a obligation_n to_o do_v it_o or_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o penalty_n answ_n i_o say_v not_o so_o they_o do_v all_o take_n god_n to_o be_v the_o true_a god_n and_o their_o god_n in_o opposition_n to_o all_o false_a god_n and_o as_o for_o these_o word_n here_o which_o they_o say_v and_o god_n approve_v i_o must_v first_o premise_v this_o that_o to_o engage_v a_o man_n self_n under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n must_v be_v lay_v the_o great_a obligation_n on_o his_o soul_n that_o can_v be_v to_o the_o performance_n and_o if_o it_o be_v god_n will_n that_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o israel_n shall_v engage_v to_o their_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n so_o as_o to_o say_v amen_o to_o the_o curse_n which_o i_o think_v be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v it_o do_v appear_v that_o this_o obligation_n by_o covenant_n must_v be_v their_o duty_n even_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o consequent_o their_o do_v it_o and_o god_n command_n of_o they_o to_o do_v it_o must_v be_v justify_v which_o be_v premise_v i_o say_v that_o when_o these_o word_n all_o that_o god_n have_v say_v we_o will_v do_v be_v attribute_v to_o the_o whole_a body_n they_o be_v all_o under_o great_a commotion_n that_o we_o know_v for_o certain_a at_o the_o terrible_a appearance_n of_o god_n as_o ever_o be_v and_o some_o of_o they_o i_o doubt_v not_o say_v so_o with_o a_o present_a resolution_n of_o sincere_a obedience_n and_o do_v perform_v it_o as_o zachary_n and_o elizabeth_n walk_v in_o all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n blameless_a other_o of_o they_o i_o believe_v say_v so_o out_o of_o that_o present_a fear_n only_o and_o awe_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o as_o the_o seed_n that_o fall_v on_o the_o stony_a ground_n spring_v up_o present_o but_o for_o want_v of_o root_n wither_a the_o generality_n it_o be_v like_o have_v the_o idea_n of_o a_o general_n implicit_a obedience_n in_o their_o thought_n which_o they_o do_v also_o endeavour_v i_o suppose_v in_o their_o life_n but_o it_o be_v external_n altogether_o think_v that_o sufficient_a to_o their_o justification_n before_o god_n and_o such_o a_o obedience_n the_o unregenerate_a man_n we_o know_v can_v engage_v to_o and_o perform_v all_o alike_o with_o the_o regenerate_v there_o be_v no_o duty_n in_o the_o outward_a matter_n or_o outward_a act_n but_o he_o can_v do_v as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o he_o can_v hear_v read_v pray_v give_v alm_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o when_o yet_o he_o can_v do_v it_o out_o of_o that_o principle_n to_o that_o end_n and_o after_o that_o manner_n as_o the_o other_o which_o be_v the_o do_v it_o so_o as_o to_o be_v acceptable_a to_o salvation_n now_o if_o i_o shall_v rest_v here_o and_o say_v that_o these_o word_n all_o that_o god_n command_v we_o will_v do_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o such_o a_o engagement_n and_o that_o such_o a_o obedience_n which_o be_v external_n only_o and_o insincere_a be_v yet_o in_o the_o matter_n or_o in_o its_o self_n good_a and_o man_n duty_n so_o that_o notwithstanding_o the_o failure_n in_o the_o manner_n it_o must_v be_v engage_v to_o and_o do_v i_o do_v apprehend_v the_o cause_n be_v carry_v but_o because_o my_o chief_a cause_n aught_o to_o be_v truth_n i_o must_v yet_o add_v that_o a_o great_a many_o of_o this_o multitude_n i_o believe_v do_v say_v i_o for_o company_n that_o be_v they_o consent_v with_o other_o in_o the_o general_n terror_n without_o any_o form_a consideration_n of_o what_o they_o promise_v or_o resolution_n to_o perform_v it_o nay_o their_o heart_n bring_v wicked_a they_o can_v have_v no_o mind_n to_o do_v it_o whatsoever_o fear_n may_v constrain_v from_o they_o and_o when_o we_o see_v well_o how_o the_o first_o sort_n can_v say_v these_o word_n with_o the_o acceptation_n of_o god_n and_o how_o the_o second_o may_v say_v the_o same_o without_o any_o present_a lie_n yea_o how_o the_o three_o also_o may_v engage_v so_o far_o and_o god_n in_o tantum_n approve_v it_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v in_o respect_n to_o the_o four_o sort_n of_o they_o how_o god_n and_o moses_n can_v require_v of_o the_o whole_a body_n any_o engagement_n to_o the_o keep_v all_o god_n precept_n but_o upon_o the_o account_n i_o have_v offer_v that_o be_v upon_o this_o account_n that_o it_o be_v a_o covenant-engagement_n which_o be_v of_o validity_n for_o obtain_v the_o blessing_n to_o all_o those_o that_o perform_v it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a as_o to_o those_o who_o he_o deal_v withal_o still_o as_o man_n that_o perform_v it_o not_o because_o they_o be_v thereby_o even_o according_a to_o agreement_n yet_o oblige_v to_o the_o penalty_n and_o god_n be_v righteous_a as_o their_o lord_n and_o king_n to_o make_v every_o one_o of_o they_o subscribe_v to_o it_o i_o will_v add_v a_o simile_n that_o will_v come_v a_o little_a more_o near_o the_o matter_n than_o some_o one_o we_o have_v have_v before_o in_o a_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n to_o a_o prince_n a_o man_n can_v swear_v to_o the_o king_n government_n but_o it_o include_v subjection_n to_o his_o law_n which_o law_n perhaps_o he_o know_v not_o or_o if_o he_o do_v he_o know_v he_o break_v many_o and_o yet_o so_o long_o as_o the_o substance_n of_o that_o oath_n lie_v in_o the_o own_v his_o authority_n against_o all_o foreign_a jurisdiction_n and_o be_v true_a to_o the_o crown_n which_o one_o that_o be_v no_o popeling_o do_v hearty_o consent_v to_o he_o make_v no_o scruple_n to_o take_v it_o notwithstanding_o those_o law_n for_o he_o make_v this_o account_n that_o if_o he_o submit_v to_o the_o penalty_n in_o case_n of_o transgression_n or_o can_v escape_v without_o resistance_n that_o be_v consistent_a with_o his_o allegiance_n so_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o fealty_n to_o god_n as_o their_o king_n so_o long_o as_o they_o can_v free_o and_o absolute_o consent_v to_o take_v god_n for_o their_o lord_n and_o to_o serve_v he_o alone_o in_o his_o appoint_a worship_n in_o opposition_n to_o full_o other_o god_n their_o submission_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n precept_n we_o may_v conceive_v to_o be_v under_o such_o political_a term_n as_o in_o this_o instance_n be_v signify_v see_v i_o have_v set_v before_o thou_o life_n and_o good_a death_n and_o evil_a therefore_o
