he_o reason_v thus_o argument_n the_o apostle_n argument_n it_o be_v therefore_o needful_a and_o necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v be_v send_v who_o shall_v make_v his_o righteousness_n to_o be_v

which_o by_o other_o argument_n be_v evident_a and_o clear_a enough_o for_o if_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o surly_a if_o any_o other_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n may_v have_v justify_v aught_o to_o have_v prevail_v and_o avail_v for_o righteousness_n do_v not_o only_o not_o justify_v but_o rather_o increase_v &_o augment_v sin_n in_o we_o namely_o that_o grudge_v &_o fret_v of_o our_o

the_o death_n of_o our_o body_n we_o rise_v in_o our_o body_n with_o christ_n and_o reign_v with_o he_o for_o evermore_o and_o this_o thing_n namely_o the_o daily_a mortification_n of_o our_o flesh_n we_o may_v perform_v because_o we_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n now_o what_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v under_o the_o law_n law_n what_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v under_o the_o

under_o the_o law_n law_n what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v under_o the_o law_n be_v to_o work_v without_o grace_n and_o not_o to_o be_v able_a to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n where_o there_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v sin_n and_o this_o now_o at_o length_n be_v the_o true_a liberty_n and_o freedom_n from_o the_o law_n and_o sin_n of_o which_o the_o apostle_n here_o dispute_v even_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o this_o chap._n as_o for_o this_o liberty_n it_o be_v such_o that_o we_o may_v willing_o from_o our_o heart_n do_v good_a without_o any_o exaction_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o

marriage_n between_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n for_o even_o as_o the_o woman_n if_o her_o husband_n be_v dead_a law_n a_o similitude_n to_o ●rove_v the_o ●●berty_n fron●he_fw-mi law_n be_v

old_a adam_n live_v in_o us._n but_o when_o this_o old_a adam_n be_v mortify_v by_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v then_o liberty_n for_o both_o party_n like_a as_o i_o have_v say_v there_o be_v betwixt_o man_n and_o wife_n but_o the_o conscience_n be_v not_o free_a so_o that_o it_o can_v at_o all_o do_v any_o work_n but_o rather_o so_o that_o now_o he_o begin_v to_o cleave_v unto_o another_o even_o unto_o christ_n that_o it_o shall_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o god_n after_o this_o he_o do_v at_o large_a explicate_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n sin_n the_o nature_n of_o sin_n &_o of_o the_o law_n show_v the_o law_n to_o be_v the_o force_n and_o power_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o old_a adam_n or_o nature_n how_o much_o more_o it_o be_v press_v down_o by_o the_o law_n which_o of_o his_o own_o strength_n he_o can_v fulfil_v so_o much_o the_o more_o it_o do_v fr●t_a and_o fume_n against_o it_o and_o no_o marvel_n see_v it_o can_v do_v nothing_o of_o itself_o but_o sin_n therefore_o the_o law_n be_v unto_o it_o a_o punishment_n and_o death_n not_o that_o the_o law_n be_v evil_a but_o this_o be_v do_v through_o the_o fault_n of_o our_o own_o nature_n

which_o take_v it_o grievous_o that_o any_o good_a shall_v be_v exact_v of_o it_o which_o she_o can_v fulfil_v not_o unlike_o a_o sickly_a weak_a man_n who_o be_v heavy_o displease_v if_o any_o man_n

that_o the_o law_n the_o more_o exact_o &_o thorough_o it_o be_v know_v do_v work_n in_o we_o nothing_o else_o but_o this_o that_o it_o do_v the_o more_o show_v our_o sin_n and_o increase_v it_o by_o which_o it_o do_v slay_v we_o and_o make_v we_o guilty_a of_o eternal_a death_n and_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o of_o this_o matter_n no_o man_n can_v dispute_v better_o than_o he_o who_o conscience_n have_v feel_v &_o have_v trial_n of_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o law_n who_o conscience_n have_v feel_v that_o shake_n and_o quake_v as_o it_o be_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o who_o have_v well_o perceive_v it_o at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o to_o have_v cause_v a_o great_a tumult_n in_o his_o heart_n therefore_o we_o have_v need_n of_o a_o more_o effectual_a and_o mighty_a force_n in_o our_o heart_n to_o justify_v we_o than_o the_o law_n be_v true_o they_o that_o have_v not_o so_o know_v the_o law_n they_o be_v altogether_o blind_a &_o walk_v in_o this_o

as_o a_o example_n though_o he_o be_v justify_v wheerby_o we_o may_v learn_v this_o mortification_n of_o the_o remnant_n of_o sin_n now_o he_o call_v both_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o flesh_n a_o

to_o be_v do_v of_o we_o which_o god_n will_v have_v do_v so_o the_o law_n of_o the_o member_n or_o of_o the_o flesh_n do_v incite_v and_o compel_v we_o to_o carnal_a thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o
