these_o ground_n follow_v 1._o it_o be_v undeniable_a that_o christ_n take_v the_o curse_n upon_o himself_o do_v not_o whole_o prevent_v the_o execution_n upon_o the_o offendor_n in_o gen._n 3._o 7_o

of_o fear_n and_o sorrow_n and_o shame_n and_o at_o last_o we_o die_v and_o turn_v to_o dust_n 3._o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o plain_o that_o we_o all_o die_v in_o adam_n even_o that_o death_n

to_o we_o take_v not_o away_o their_o natural_a evil_n but_o only_o produce_v by_o it_o as_o by_o a_o occasion_n a_o great_a good_a doubtless_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o sin_n it_o

mix_v of_o evil_a and_o good_a as_o it_o proceed_v from_o mix_v cause_n therefore_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o the_o curse_n and_o evil_n but_o not_o the_o suffering_n be_v a_o contradiction_n because_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v a_o suffer_v it_o be_v to_o we_o evil_a and_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o curse_n what_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o god_n shall_v not_o do_v we_o all_o that_o good_a without_o our_o suffering_n which_o now_o he_o do_v by_o they_o if_o there_o be_v not_o sin_n and_o wrath_n and_o law_n in_o they_o sure_o he_o can_v better_v we_o by_o easy_a mean_n 8._o all_o those_o scripture_n and_o reason_n that_o be_v bring_v so_o the_o contrary_a do_v prove_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o our_o affliction_n be_v not_o the_o rigorous_a execution_n of_o the_o threaten_n of_o the_o law_n that_o they_o be_v not_o whole_o or_o chief_o in_o wrath_n but_o as_o the_o common_a love_n of_o god_n to_o the_o wicked_a be_v mix_v with_o hatred_n in_o their_o suffering_n and_o the_o hatred_n prevail_v above_o the_o love_n so_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o godly_a proceed_v from_o a_o mixture_n of_o love_n and_o anger_n and_o so_o have_v in_o they_o a_o mixture_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a but_o the_o love_n overcome_v the_o anger_n therefore_o the_o good_a be_v great_a than_o the_o evil_a and_o so_o death_n have_v lose_v its_o sting_n 1_o cor._n

case_n now_o the_o nonpayment_n of_o the_o pepper_n corn_n be_v a_o breach_n of_o both_o lease_n of_o the_o old_a because_o though_o he_o have_v forfeit_v his_o title_n to_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o yet_o he_o can_v not_o disannul_v the_o duty_n of_o it_o which_o be_v obedience_n during_o his_o life_n especial_o when_o the_o penalty_n be_v not_o full_o execute_v on_o he_o but_o he_o be_v permit_v still_o to_o enjoy_v some_o of_o the_o benefit_n so_o that_o as_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o disobedience_n in_o general_a his_o nonpayment_n be_v a_o further_a forfeiture_n of_o his_o old_a lease_n but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o nonpayment_n of_o a_o pepper-corn_n require_v of_o he_o in_o stead_n of_o his_o former_a rent_n so_o it_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o his_o new_a lease_n only_o even_o so_o be_v unbelief_n a_o violation_n of_o both_o covenant_n thesis_n xxxi_o the_o gospel_n do_v establish_v and_o not_o repeal_n the_o moral_a law_n and_o so_o be_v perfect_a obedience_n command_v and_o every_o sin_n forbid_v now_o as_o exact_o as_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o adjunct_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o not_o a_o proper_a part_n of_o it_o neither_o be_v it_o on_o the_o same_o term_n or_o to_o the_o same_o end_n as_o in_o the_o first_o covenant_n explication_n that_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v yet_o in_o force_n i_o will_v not_o stand_v to_o prove_v because_o so_o many_o have_v write_v of_o it_o already_o see_v mr._n anthony_n burgess_n lecture_n but_o to_o what_o end_n and_o in_o what_o sense_n the_o gospel_n continue_v that_o law_n and_o command_v perfect_a obedience_n thereto_o be_v a_o question_n not_o very_o easy_a 1._o whether_o christ_n do_v first_o repeal_n that_o law_n and_o then_o re-establish_a it_o to_o other_o end_n so_o some_o think_v 2._o or_o whether_o he_o have_v at_o all_o make_v the_o moral_a law_n to_o be_v the_o preceptive_a part_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o so_o whether_o the_o new_a covenant_n do_v at_o all_o command_n we_o perfect_a obedience_n or_o only_o sincere_a 3._o or_o whether_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v continue_v only_o as_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n and_o so_o use_v by_o the_o new_a covenant_n mere_o for_o a_o directive_n rule_n to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v not_o repeal_v at_o all_o i_o have_v prove_v already_o even_o concern_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n itself_o and_o other_o enough_o have_v prove_v at_o large_a of_o the_o moral_a law_n 2._o yet_o that_o christ_n use_v it_o to_o other_o end_n &_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o his_o kingdom_n i_o grant_v to_o the_o other_o second_o question_n i_o answer_v 1._o that_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o it_o be_v the_o perceptive_a part_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v but_o deliver_v over_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o continue_v in_o the_o sense_n before_o express_v seem_v plain_a to_o i_o 2._o that_o the_o same_o moral_a law_n do_v therefore_o so_o continue_v to_o command_v even_o believer_n and_o that_o the_o perfect_a obey_v of_o it_o be_v therefore_o their_o duty_n and_o the_o not_o obey_v their_o sin_n deserve_v the_o death_n threaten_v in_o that_o covenant_n 3._o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v further_a make_v use_n of_o the_o same_o moral_a law_n for_o a_o direction_n to_o his_o subject_n whereby_o they_o may_v know_v his_o will._n that_o whereas_o your_o sincere_a subjection_n and_o obedience_n to_o christ_n be_v part_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n that_o we_o may_v know_v what_o his_o will_n be_v which_o we_o must_v endeavour_v to_o obey_v and_o what_o rule_n our_o action_n must_v be_v sincere_o fit_v to_o and_o guide_v by_o he_o have_v therefore_o leave_v we_o this_o moral_a law_n as_o part_v of_o this_o direction_n have_v add_v a_o more_o particular_a enumeration_n of_o some_o duty_n in_o his_o gospel_n that_o as_o when_o the_o old_a covenant_n say_v thou_o shall_v obey_v perfect_o the_o moral_a law_n do_v partly_o tell_v they_o wherein_o they_o shall_v obey_v so_o when_o the_o new_a covenant_n say_v thou_o shall_v obey_v sincere_o the_o moral_a law_n do_v tell_v we_o wherein_o or_o what_o we_o must_v endeavour_v to_o do_v 4._o but_o that_o the_o moral_a law_n without_o respect_n to_o either_o covenant_n shall_v command_v we_o perfect_a obedience_n or_o that_o christ_n as_o the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n shall_v command_v we_o not_o only_o sincere_a but_o also_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o so_o have_v make_v it_o a_o proper_a part_n of_o his_o gospel_n not_o only_o as_o a_o directory_n and_o instruction_n but_o also_o as_o a_o command_n i_o be_o not_o yet_o convince_v though_o i_o will_v not_o contend_v with_o any_o that_o think_v otherwise_o my_o reason_n be_v because_o i_o know_v not_o to_o what_o end_n christ_n shall_v command_v we_o that_o obedience_n which_o he_o never_o do_v enable_v any_o man_n in_o this_o life_n to_o perform_v if_o it_o be_v to_o convince_v we_o of_o our_o disability_n and_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o continue_n of_o it_o upon_o the_o old_a term_n as_o be_v before_o explain_v be_v sufficient_a to_o that_o but_o i_o judge_v this_o question_n to_o be_v of_o great_a difficult_a than_o moment_n thesis_n xxxii_o if_o there_o be_v any_o particular_a sin_n against_o the_o new_a covenant_n which_o be_v not_o also_o against_o the_o old_a or_o if_o any_o sin_n be_v considerable_a in_o any_o of_o their_o respect_n as_o against_o the_o gospel_n only_o than_o christ_n death_n be_v not_o to_o satisfy_v for_o any_o such_o sin_n so_o consider_v for_o where_o no_o death_n be_v threaten_v there_o none_o be_v explicit_o due_a nor_o shall_v be_v execute_v and_o where_o it_o be_v not_o so_o due_a to_o the_o sinner_n nor_o shall_v have_v be_v execute_v on_o he_o there_o it_o can_v not_o be_v require_v of_o christ_n nor_o execute_v on_o he_o but_o the_o gospel_n threaten_v not_o death_n to_o any_o sin_n but_o final_a unbelief_n and_o rebellion_n and_o for_o that_o christ_n never_o die_v as_o i_o shall_v show_v anon_o therefore_o christ_n die_v not_o

do_v no_o where_o threaten_v death_n and_o therefore_o christ_n can_v not_o bear_v it_o as_o to_o satisfy_v the_o gospel-threatening_a though_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v be_v long_o in_o this_o point_n of_o another_o judgement_n while_o i_o consider_v not_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o covenant_n distinct_o some_o further_a proof_n you_o shall_v have_v in_o the_o next_o conclusion_n read_v heb._n 9_o

i_o will_v see_v more_o cause_n before_o i_o deny_v it_o or_o say_v he_o mean_v a_o work_v faith_n if_o he_o so_o understand_v a_o work_a faith_n as_o that_o it_o justify_v principal_o as_o faith_n

but_o not_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v alone_o the_o question_n therefore_o be_v whether_o work_n do_v concur_v with_o faith_n as_o part_n of_o the_o condition_n in_o the_o very_a business_n of_o justify_v or_o whether_o they_o be_v only_a concomitant_n to_o that_o faith_n which_o effect_v the_o business_n without_o their_o assistance_n the_o ground_n of_o the_o mistake_n lie_v here_o they_o

we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n at_o all_o they_o think_v that_o faith_n be_v a_o instrumental_a efficient_a cause_n of_o justification_n which_o that_o proper_o it_o be_v not_o i_o have_v

i_o will_v not_o say_v therefore_o that_o work_n do_v effectual_o produce_v our_o justification_n for_o faith_n do_v not_o so_o nor_o that_o they_o justify_v as_o equal_a part_n of_o the_o condition_n for_o faith_n be_v the_o principal_a but_o that_o they_o justify_v as_o the_o secondary_a lesse-principall_a part_n of_o the_o condition_n not_o only_o prove_v our_o faith_n to_o be_v sound_n but_o

i_o prove_v thus_o 1._o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n the_o word_n by_o imply_v more_o than_o a_o idle_a concomitancy_n if_o they_o only_o stand_v by_o while_o faith_n
