that_o in_o our_o last_o translation_n the_o word_n be_v so_o render_v but_o godly_a and_o learned_a tindall_n render_v it_o thus_o remember_v you_o not_o brethren_n that_o the_o law_n have_v

a_o believer_n as_o he_o be_v a_o believer_n either_o hope_n for_o eternal_a life_n or_o fear_v eternal_a death_n upon_o any_o such_o term_n no_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o 3.19_o that_o whatsoever_o the_o law_n say_v on_o any_o such_o term_n it_o say_v to_o they_o who_o be_v under_o the_o law_n 6.14_o but_o believer_n be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n and_o so_o have_v escape_v eternal_a death_n and_o obtain_v eternal_a life_n only_o by_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n 13.39_o for_o by_o he_o all_o that_o believe_v be_v justify_v from_o all_o thing_n from_o which_o they_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n for_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n 3.16_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o

and_o so_o but_o dark_o but_o now_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n be_v come_v it_o be_v more_o full_o open_v and_o promulgate_v ant._n well_o sir_n now_o i_o do_v perceive_v there_o be_v little_a

they_o shall_v have_v be_v drive_v to_o christ_n by_o the_o law_n 160._o but_o they_o expect_v life_n in_o obedience_n to_o it_o and_o this_o be_v their_o great_a error_n and_o mistake_n ant._n and_o true_o sir_n it_o be_v no_o great_a marvel_n though_o they_o in_o this_o point_n do_v so_o much_o err_v and_o mistake_v who_o have_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n make_v know_v to_o they_o so_o dark_o when_o many_o among_o we_o who_o have_v it_o more_o clear_o manifest_a do_v the_o like_a evan._n and_o true_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o all_o man_n natural_o do_v so_o for_o man_n natural_o do_v apprehend_v god_n to_o be_v the_o great_a master_n of_o heaven_n and_o himself_o to_o be_v his_o servant_n and_o that_o therefore_o he_o must_v do_v his_o work_n before_o he_o can_v have_v his_o wage_n and_o the_o more_o work_n he_o do_v the_o better_a wage_n he_o shall_v have_v and_o hence_o it_o it_o be_v that_o when_o aristotle_n come_v to_o speak_v of_o blessedness_n &_o to_o pitch_v upon_o the_o next_o mean_n to_o that_o end_n he_o say_v it_o be_v operation_n &_o work_n with_o who_o also_o agree_v pythagoras_n religion_n when_o he_o say_v it_o be_v man_n felicity_n to_o be_v
