scripture_n which_o concern_v the_o law_n to_o a_o sweet_a concord_n and_o harmony_n one_o with_o another_o 2_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o moral_a law_n do_v still_o remain_v as_o a_o

even_o in_o gospel_n time_n as_o ever_o now_o because_o some_o not_o understand_v this_o distinction_n have_v weak_o and_o unadvised_o cast_v the_o moral_a law_n whole_o out_o of_o door_n as_o be_v

of_o christ_n do_v not_o destroy_v the_o law_n as_o a_o rule_n but_o
threat_n of_o death_n in_o case_n of_o disobedience_n and_o the_o promise_n of_o life_n upon_o condition_n of_o obedience_n by_o assure_v her_o seed_n in_o give_v forth_o this_o rule_n unto_o they_o that_o they_o be_v already_o most_o certain_o free_v from_o death_n and_o possess_v of_o life_n and_o that_o therefore_o she_o give_v not_o forth_o this_o rule_n unto_o they_o to_o be_v as_o a_o way_n

to_o their_o mother_n sarah_n only_o receive_v their_o law_n out_o of_o her_o hand_n be_v pure_a gospel_n obedience_n i._n e._n obedience_n spring_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n dwell_v in_o
