man_n look_v upon_o the_o author_n of_o this_o covenant_n &_o he_o hear_v no_o more_o but_o the_o law_n and_o what_o it_o require_v he_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o hard_a master_n as_o a_o enemy_n again_o he_o look_v upon_o his_o law_n as_o a_o hard_a and_o cruel_a law_n as_o a_o heavy_a yoke_n as_o a_o unsupportable_a bondage_n and_o therefore_o he_o hate_v i●_n and_o wish_n there_o be_v no_o

a_o enemy_n that_o seek_v his_o destruction_n and_o therefore_o the_o ministration_n of_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o ministration_n of_o death_n the_o reason_n of_o all_o this_o be_v not_o because_o there_o be_v any_o ill_n in_o the_o law_n it_o be_v a_o ministration_n of_o the_o letter_n it_o beget_v fear_n &_o emity_n it_o be_v a_o ministration_n of_o death_n i_o say_v this_o arise_v

as_o for_o example_n if_o you_o will_v take_v a_o potter_n vessel_n and_o dash_v it_o against_o a_o firm_a wall_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o wall_n be_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o vessel_n be_v

be_v from_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v the_o law_n it_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o law_n that_o it_o be_v so_o perfect_a that_o a_o man_n be_v

as_o this_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n so_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n first_o be_v a_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o of_o the_o letter_n

if_o you_o look_v upon_o the_o wise_a man_n and_o the_o most_o foolish_a the_o same_o event_n befall_v they_o the_o same_o sickness_n the_o same_o trouble_n and_o

there_o be_v this_o difference_n wisdom_n be_v the_o best_a of_o all_o vain_a thing_n under_o the_o sun_n the_o second_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v find_v be_v that_o to_o enjoy_v they_o to_o take_v the_o comfort_n the_o profit_n the_o benefit_n and_o refreshment_n that_o may_v be_v have_v from_o all_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n that_o he_o have_v give_v under_o the_o sun_n it_o be_v a_o
