abraham_n in_o who_o seed_n he_o promise_v to_o bless_v all_o nation_n and_o accept_v his_o offspring_n for_o his_o peculiar_a people_n unto_o who_o after_o their_o departure_n out_o of_o egypt_n

than_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v dislike_v he_o be_v it_o never_o so_o little_a and_o do_v all_o thing_n in_o that_o behalf_n with_o a_o merry_a heart_n and_o with_o all_o forwardness_n and_o cheerfulness_n moreover_o the_o law_n command_v we_o neighbour_n to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourself_o mean_v by_o the_o neighbour_n all_o manner_n of_o man_n as_o well_o friend_n as_o

love_n which_o he_o ought_v to_o yield_v to_o his_o maker_n the_o first_o office_n of_o the_o law_n then_o be_v to_o make_v sin_n know_v as_o 7._o saint_n paul_n affirm_v and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v i_o have_v not_o know_v what_o sin_n be_v but_o by_o the_o law_n the_o second_o office_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o make_v sin_n increase_v forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v quite_o go_v from_o the_o obey_n of_o god_n law_n and_o become_v bondslave_n to_o the_o devil_n be_v full_a of_o wicked_a work_n and_o inordinate_a affection_n can_v abide_v that_o god_n shall_v forbid_v we_o to_o lust_n which_o increase_v so_o much_o the_o more_o as_o it_o be_v the_o more_o prohibit_v by_o reason_n whereof_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o sin_n be_v dead_a but_o the_o law_n come_v and_o raise_v it_o up_o again_o and_o so_o it_o become_v out_o of_o measure_n great_a the_o three_o office_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o show_v the_o law_n wrath_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n who_o threaten_v death_n and_o everlasting_a punishment_n to_o such_o as_o keep_v not_o the_o law_n throughout_o in_o all_o point_n for_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v curse_v 27._o be_v he_o that_o perform_v not_o thorough_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o 3._o the_o law_n be_v a_o ministry_n and_o that_o it_o bring_v forth_o wrath_n the_o law_n then_o have_v discover_v sin_n and_o increase_v it_o and_o show_v forth_o the_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n of_o god_n who_o threaten_v death_n execute_v his_o four_o office_n which_o be_v to_o put_v a_o man_n in_o fear_n who_o thereupon_o law_n fall_v into_o sorrowfulness_n and_o will_v fain_o satisfy_v the_o law_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o see_v clear_o that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a he_o wax_v angry_a against_o god_n and_o will_v with_o all_o his_o heart_n that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n because_o he_o fear_v to_o be_v sore_o chastise_v and_o punish_v by_o he_o according_a as_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n because_o 4._o it_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o five_o office_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a end_n and_o the_o most_o excellent_a law_n and_o necessary_a office_n of_o it_o be_v to_o constrain_v a_o man_n to_o go_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n in_o like_a wise_a as_o the_o hebrew_n be_v dismay_v be_v constrain_v to_o appeal_v unto_o moses_n say_v let_v not_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o we_o lest_o 20._o we_o die_v but_o speak_v thou_o unto_o we_o and_o we_o will_v obey_v thou_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o the_o lord_n answer_v very_o they_o have_v speak_v exceed_v well_o yea_o they_o be_v not_o praise_v for_o any_o other_o thing_n then_o for_o their_o desire_v of_o a_o mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o they_o which_o be_v moses_n who_o represent_v jesus_n christ_n that_o shall_v be_v the_o advocate_n and_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n in_o respect_n whereof_o god_n say_v unto_o moses_n i_o will_v raise_v up_o a_o prophet_n among_o their_o brethren_n like_v unto_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v put_v my_o word_n in_o his_o mouth_n and_o he_o shall_v speak_v unto_o they_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o shall_v command_v he_o and_o i_o will_v punish_v all_o those_o that_o will_v not_o obey_v my_o word_n which_o he_o shall_v speak_v in_o my_o name_n chap._n iii_o how_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sinnae_n our_o justification_n and_o our_o salvation_n depend_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n when_o as_o our_o god_n then_o have_v send_v the_o say_v great_a prophet_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o who_o be_v his_o only_a son_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o shall_v set_v we_o free_a from_o the_o curse_n 3._o of_o the_o law_n and_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o our_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v make_v our_o will_n fit_a for_o good_a work_n heal_v our_o freewill_n and_o repair_v in_o we_o the_o foresay_a image_n of_o god_n which_o we_o have_v lose_v through_o the_o fault_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n 4._o forasmuch_o as_o we_o know_v that_o under_o heaven_n there_o be_v none_o other_o name_n give_v unto_o man_n whereby_o we_o may_v be_v save_v but_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n let_v we_o run_v unto_o he_o with_o the_o foot_n of_o lively_a faith_n and_o cast_v ourselves_o between_o his_o arm_n since_o he_o allure_v we_o so_o gracious_o cry_v come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v and_o i_o will_v refresh_v 11._o you_o what_o comfort_n or_o what_o joy_n in_o this_o life_n can_v be_v comparable_a to_o this_o his_o say_n there_o when_o as_o a_o man_n feel_v himself_o oppress_v with_o the_o intolerable_a weight_n of_o his_o sin_n understand_v so_o sweet_a and_o amiable_a word_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o promise_v so_o gracious_o to_o refresh_v and_o rid_v he_o of_o his_o great_a pain_n but_o all_o the_o matter_n lie_v in_o acknowledge_v our_o own_o weakness_n and_o misery_n in_o good_a earnest_n for_o he_o shall_v never_o know_v what_o be_v sweet_a who_o have_v not_o taste_v of_o the_o sour_a and_o therefore_o jesus_n christ_n say_v if_o any_o man_n 7._o thirst_n let_v he_o come_v to_o i_o and_o drink_n as_o if_o he_o have_v mean_v to_o say_v if_o a_o man_n know_v not_o himself_o to_o be_v a_o sinner_n nor_o thirst_n after_o righteousness_n he_o can_v taste_v of_o the_o sweetness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n how_o sweet_a it_o be_v to_o talk_v of_o he_o to_o think_v of_o he_o and_o to_o follow_v his_o most_o holy_a life_n but_o when_o we_o once_o thorough_o know_v our_o own_o infirmity_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o law_n let_v we_o hearken_v to_o saint_n john_n baptist_n who_o point_v we_o to_o the_o sovereign_a physician_n with_o his_o finger_n say_v behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n 8._o which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n for_o he_o it_o be_v that_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o heavy_a 3._o yoke_n of_o the_o law_n abrogate_a and_o disannul_v the_o curse_n &_o sharp_a threaten_n of_o the_o same_o heal_v all_o our_o infirmity_n reform_v our_o freewill_n return_v we_o to_o our_o ancient_a innocency_n and_o repair_v in_o we_o the_o image_n of_o our_o god_n insomuch_o that_o according_a to_o saint_n paul_n saying_n like_v as_o by_o adam_n we_o be_v all_o 15._o dead_a so_o by_o jesus_n christ_n we_o be_v all_o quicken_v and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v that_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n which_o we_o have_v by_o inheritance_n from_o he_o shall_v be_v of_o more_o force_n than_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n that_o which_o also_o we_o inherit_v by_o faith_n it_o seem_v that_o man_n have_v great_a cause_n to_o complain_v that_o without_o any_o reason_n why_o he_o be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v in_o 50._o sin_n and_o in_o the_o wickedness_n of_o his_o parent_n by_o mean_n of_o who_o death_n reign_v over_o all_o man_n but_o now_o be_v all_o our_o sorrow_n take_v away_o inasmuch_o as_o by_o a_o like_a mean_a without_o any_o occasion_n give_v on_o our_o behalf_n
righteousness_n and_o everlasting_a life_n be_v come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o he_o death_n be_v slay_v whereof_o saint_n paul_n make_v a_o very_a godly_a discourse_n which_o i_o purpose_v to_o set_v down_o here_o follow_v wherefore_o say_v he_o like_v as_o by_o one_o 5._o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n even_o so_o death_n go_v over_o all_o man_n forasmuch_o as_o all_o man_n have_v sin_v for_o until_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n but_o sin_n be_v not_o regard_v as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nevertheless_o death_n reign_v from_o adam_n unto_o moses_n even_o over_o they_o also_o that_o sin_v not_o after_o the_o like_a manner_n of_o the_o transgression_n of_o adam_n who_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o he_o that_o be_v to_o come_v but_o yet_o the_o gift_n be_v not_o so_o as_o be_v the_o offence_n for_o if_o through_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o many_o be_v dead_a much_o more_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n by_o grace_n which_o be_v by_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v unto_o many_o neither_o be_v the_o gift_n so_o as_o that_o which_o enter_v in_o by_o one_o that_o sin_v for_o the_o fault_n come_v of_o one_o offence_n unto_o condemnation_n but_o the_o gift_n be_v of_o many_o offence_n to_o justification_n for_o if_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o death_n reign_v through_o one_o much_o more_o shall_v they_o which_o receive_v the_o abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n reign_n in_o life_n through_o one_o that_o be_v jesus_n christ_n likewise_o then_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o that_o fault_n come_v on_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o benefit_n abound_v towards_o all_o man_n to_o the_o justification_n of_o life_n for_o as_o by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o shall_v many_o be_v also_o make_v righteous_a moreover_o the_o law_n enter_v thereupon_o that_o the_o offence_n shall_v abound_v nevertheless_o where_o sin_n abound_v there_o grace_v abound_v much_o more_o that_o as_o sin_n have_v reign_v unto_o death_n so_o may_v grace_v also_o reign_v by_o righteousness_n unto_o eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n by_o these_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n we_o manifest_o perceive_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v true_a which_o we_o have_v say_v heretofore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o law_n be_v give_v to_o make_v sin_n know_v which_o sin_n we_o do_v also_o know_v not_o to_o be_v of_o great_a force_n than_o christ_n righteousness_n wherethrough_a we_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n for_o even_o as_o jesus_n christ_n be_v strong_a than_o adam_n be_v so_o be_v his_o righteousness_n more_o mighty_a than_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n and_o if_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n be_v sufficient_a enough_o to_o make_v all_o man_n sinner_n and_o child_n of_o wrath_n without_o any_o misdeed_n of_o our_o own_o much_o more_o shall_v christ_n righteousness_n be_v of_o great_a force_n to_o make_v we_o all_o righteous_a and_o the_o child_n of_o grace_n without_o any_o of_o our_o own_o good_a work_n which_o can_v be_v good_a unless_o that_o before_o we_o do_v they_o we_o ourselves_o be_v make_v good_a as_o augustine_n also_o affirm_v hereby_o a_o man_n may_v know_v in_o what_o despair_n error_n they_o be_v who_o by_o reason_n of_o some_o great_a offence_n despair_n of_o god_n good_a will_n imagine_v that_o he_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o forgive_v cover_v and_o pardon_v all_o sin_n have_v
