they_o thus_o if_o we_o understand_v these_o word_n in_o the_o evangelical_a sense_n we_o can_v be_v deceive_v but_o may_v know_v the_o truth_n and_o how_o to_o answer_v all_o gainsayer_n i_o can_v bring_v many_o instance_n of_o this_o nature_n but_o these_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v that_o before_o we_o can_v sufficient_o expound_v and_o right_o understand_v the_o gospel_n it_o be_v meet_a that_o we_o shall_v know_v and_o be_v able_a to_o show_v the_o nature_n and_o also_o the_o agreement_n and_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o between_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n wherefore_o before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a expound_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o saint_n john_n which_o i_o have_v undertake_v i_o will_v follow_v the_o step_n of_o the_o learned_a of_o former_a time_n and_o will_v endeavour_v to_o show_v brief_o the_o agreement_n and_o difference_n between_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n between_o the_o old_a covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o new_a covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o in_o so_o do_v i_o will_v labour_v to_o reform_v some_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v do_v before_o i_o and_o to_o handle_v this_o point_n a_o little_a more_o distinct_o for_o whereas_o the_o most_o part_n of_o they_o do_v confuse_o compare_v the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n together_o without_o distinction_n of_o the_o word_n and_o while_o they_o labour_v to_o make_v the_o gospel_n more_o glorious_a by_o all_o mean_n they_o do_v put_v too_o great_a a_o difference_n between_o it_o and_o the_o law_n which_o have_v be_v a_o cause_n of_o much_o error_n to_o many_o and_o even_o of_o vilify_a and_o contemn_v the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o law_n my_o desire_n and_o purpose_n be_v first_o to_o show_v the_o several_a acceptation_n and_o the_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n and_o then_o to_o declare_v the_o true_a agreement_n and_o difference_n and_o to_o make_v those_o difference_n which_o be_v observe_v by_o other_o to_o agree_v together_o so_o far_o as_o truth_n will_v suffer_v and_o to_o cut_v off_o all_o vain_a and_o

your_o heart_n shall_v be_v enable_v with_o love_n of_o both_o and_o you_o better_o enable_v to_o understand_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o feel_v the_o power_n thereof_o in_o your_o soul_n chap._n ii_o first_o for_o the_o word_n testament_n it_o do_v signify_v the_o last_o will_n of_o a_o man_n which_o he_o make_v before_o his_o death_n and_o leaf_n behind_o he_o either_o in_o word_n or_o writing_n testify_v by_o seal_n and_o witness_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o will_v he_o do_v dispose_v his_o land_n and_o possession_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v and_o all_o his_o good_n which_o he_o have_v gather_v in_o his_o life_n time_n and_o do_v bequeathe_v they_o as_o he_o himself_o will_v and_o to_o who_o he_o think_v fit_a either_o free_o or_o with_o condition_n to_o have_v and_o hold_v they_o after_o his_o death_n and_o not_o before_o this_o be_v the_o true_a and_o proper_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v use_v by_o the_o apostle_n hebr._n 19_o 16._o and_o because_o the_o apostle_n there_o call_v the_o covenant_n christ_n testament_n and_o also_o elsewhere_o in_o his_o epistle_n wheresoever_o he_o do_v speak_v of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a covenant_n that_o be_v of_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o the_o gospel_n do_v use_v the_o greek_a word_n {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o even_o the_o same_o which_o there_o he_o use_v for_o the_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n of_o a_o testator_n whereupon_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n before_o christ_n and_o the_o covenant_n in_o they_o be_v call_v the_o new_a testament_n and_o that_o very_o fit_o in_o some_o respect_n i_o mean_v in_o respect_n of_o christ_n the_o mediator_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n more_o obscure_o reveal_v to_o the_o father_n in_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o law_n and_o prophet_n and_o more_o plain_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o writing_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v never_o in_o force_n neither_o can_v be_v ratify_v but_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v before_o his_o come_v seal_v by_o his_o blood_n in_o type_n and_o figure_n and_o at_o his_o death_n in_o his_o flesh_n it_o be_v full_o seal_v and_o ratify_v by_o his_o very_a blood_n itself_o actual_o and_o indeed_o shed_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o may_v be_v fit_o call_v the_o testament_n because_o as_o a_o testament_n be_v not_o enforce_v till_o the_o testator_n be_v dead_a and_o where_o a_o testament_n be_v there_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n must_v come_v between_o to_o ratify_v it_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o promise_n therein_o make_v unto_o we_o christ_n have_v perform_v and_o purchase_v all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o we_o and_o do_v free_o give_v to_o we_o himself_o his_o righteousness_n and_o all_o his_o treasure_n as_o a_o man_n give_v his_o land_n and_o good_n in_o his_o last_o will_n but_o they_o can_v be_v of_o force_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o heaven_n till_o his_o death_n come_v between_o as_o a_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n also_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a that_o justice_n shall_v be_v satisfy_v for_o sin_n by_o his_o death_n as_o righteousness_n of_o life_n perform_v and_o salvation_n purchase_v by_o he_o for_o we_o second_o as_o a_o man_n do_v seal_v his_o testament_n when_o he_o see_v or_o imagine_v that_o his_o death_n be_v at_o hand_n so_o christ_n at_o his_o last_o supper_n by_o institute_v the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n and_o by_o the_o outward_a sign_n and_o seal_n therein_o contain_v do_v seal_v to_o his_o church_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n thus_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n the_o mediator_n god_n and_o man_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o writing_n old_a and_o new_a wherein_o it_o be_v contain_v be_v call_v testament_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n consider_v simple_o or_o as_o the_o maker_n of_o the_o covenant_n with_o man_n and_o the_o party_n between_o who_o and_o man_n the_o covenant_n be_v make_v the_o covenant_n and_o the_o write_v old_a and_o new_a wherein_o it_o be_v comprehend_v can_v in_o no_o case_n be_v call_v a_o testament_n because_o a_o testament_n be_v of_o no_o force_n without_o the_o testator_n death_n but_o god_n the_o father_n never_o die_v nor_o can_v die_v neither_o god_n simple_o consider_v nor_o god_n the_o maker_n of_o the_o covenant_n with_o man_n and_o the_o other_o party_n in_o it_o which_o be_v oppose_v to_o man_n only_o christ_n die_v as_o he_o be_v mediator_n god_n and_o man_n and_o as_o he_o be_v make_v a_o partner_n with_o man_n and_o stand_v on_o his_o side_n in_o the_o covenant_n and_o as_o he_o be_v the_o testator_n and_o free_a giver_n of_o his_o word_n in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o of_o his_o grace_n and_o gift_n therein_o promise_v so_o they_o be_v call_v testament_n and_o in_o no_o other_o respect_n at_o all_o from_o the_o word_n testament_n thus_o expound_v we_o may_v easy_o collect_v and_o gather_v what_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o testament_n and_o both_o the_o agreement_n and_o the_o true_a and_o main_a difference_n between_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o writing_n contain_v in_o both_o first_o we_o see_v that_o they_o both_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v the_o writing_n and_o instrument_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o christ_n and_o his_o last_o will_n in_o which_o and_o by_o which_o he_o do_v give_v himself_o to_o his_o church_n withal_o his_o righteousness_n and_o obedience_n and_o all_o the_o blessing_n which_o thereupon_o depend_v and_o they_o be_v both_o seal_v by_o his_o blood_n and_o ratify_v by_o his_o death_n this_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o word_n before_o lay_v down_o wherein_o be_v show_v that_o both_o the_o old_a and_o new_a writing_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o testament_n only_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n the_o mediator_n and_o as_o they_o be_v seal_v by_o his_o blood_n and_o ratify_v by_o his_o death_n and_o he_o be_v the_o testator_n in_o they_o as_o he_o be_v mediator_n if_o either_o of_o they_o be_v not_o seal_v ratify_v and_o proceed_v from_o he_o as_o mediator_n it_o be_v no_o testament_n at_o all_o to_o call_v it_o a_o

testament_n be_v to_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o testator_n and_o his_o death_n come_v between_o to_o make_v it_o of_o force_n and_o to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o testator_n or_o that_o it_o be_v not_o ratify_v by_o his_o death_n be_v to_o say_v it_o be_v no_o testament_n but_o all_o christian_n grant_v that_o both_o the_o old_a and_o new_a writing_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v testament_n therefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a even_o by_o their_o name_n that_o christ_n be_v testator_n in_o both_o that_o the_o legacy_n give_v be_v his_o gift_n even_o himself_o and_o all_o his_o treasure_n and_o inheritance_n that_o his_o blood_n heal_v and_o his_o death_n ratify_v both_o and_o thus_o in_o substance_n they_o agree_v be_v of_o one_o christ_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n both_o confirm_v by_o one_o death_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v one_o and_o confirm_v one_o another_o and_o run_v one_o way_n if_o they_o go_v divers_a way_n they_o must_v needs_o destroy_v one_o another_o if_o they_o destroy_v not_o one_o another_o it_o be_v plain_a they_o go_v both_o one_o way_n and_o do_v confirm_v and_o illustrate_v each_o the_o other_o which_o we_o see_v evident_o the_o difference_n then_o between_o they_o be_v only_o in_o circumstance_n and_o in_o quality_n not_o in_o substance_n first_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v bequeathe_v unto_o the_o father_n righteousness_n of_o life_n expiation_n of_o sin_n adoption_n of_o son_n and_o eternal_a salvation_n and_o happiness_n in_o and_o through_o christ_n the_o mediator_n promise_v be_v not_o yet_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o only_o see_v a_o far_o off_o and_o apprehend_v by_o faith_n as_o the_o apostle_n show_v hebr._n 11._o but_o the_o new_a testament_n give_v and_o bequeath_v all_o these_o unto_o we_o in_o and_o through_o christ_n be_v already_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o have_v actual_o perform_v all_o thing_n for_o we_o second_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v more_o dark_a and_o obscure_a not_o open_v but_o to_o few_o till_o the_o testator_n death_n and_o do_v not_o beget_v ordinary_o so_o much_o knowledge_n and_o faith_n as_o the_o new_a do_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o weak_a mean_n of_o grace_n and_o do_v convert_v but_o few_o unto_o christ_n but_o the_o new_a be_v so_o plain_a that_o it_o may_v beget_v knowledge_n in_o child_n and_o therefore_o by_o it_o the_o spirit_n work_v more_o powerful_o three_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v seal_v and_o ratify_v typical_o by_o the_o blood_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o type_n of_o they_o to_o come_v the_o new_a be_v ratify_v by_o his_o death_n in_o very_a deed_n and_o in_o itself_o and_o to_o we_o it_o be_v seal_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n by_o token_n and_o remembrance_n of_o his_o

for_o both_o the_o old_a and_o the_o new_a may_v be_v testament_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v conveyance_n and_o bequeath_n of_o all_o his_o grace_n and_o blessing_n and_o may_v both_o be_v ratify_v by_o his_o death_n and_o yet_o differ_v in_o these_o and_o such_o like_a respect_n but_o as_o for_o divers_a other_o difference_n which_o many_o learned_a man_n have_v set_v down_o they_o be_v utter_o overthrow_v by_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o word_n testament_n and_o by_o the_o true_a agreement_n which_o from_o thence_o i_o have_v before_o gather_v this_o therefore_o shall_v be_v the_o 1._o first_o use_n which_o i_o will_v make_v of_o these_o instruction_n even_o to_o overthrow_v some_o other_o difference_n which_o the_o schoolman_n have_v devise_v between_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n one_o be_v that_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v temporary_a and_o mutable_a the_o new_a eternal_a and_o unchangeable_a this_o can_v stand_v for_o if_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v a_o testament_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o testament_n of_o christ_n the_o mediator_n and_o if_o it_o be_v ever_o in_o force_n it_o be_v ratify_v by_o the_o death_n of_o he_o the_o testator_n as_o be_v prove_v before_o but_o if_o it_o be_v make_v of_o force_n by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n how_o can_v it_o be_v changeable_a sure_o in_o no_o case_n except_o christ_n death_n be_v make_v void_a and_o of_o no_o force_n wherefore_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o though_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v in_o quality_n and_o circumstance_n changeable_a and_o be_v change_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o outward_a form_n and_o manner_n of_o seal_v it_o unto_o man_n and_o whereas_o before_o it_o be_v dark_a and_o obscure_a it_o be_v now_o become_v bright_a and_o clear_a by_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o rise_n up_o of_o the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n and_o by_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o change_v in_o substance_n it_o lose_v not_o the_o essence_n and_o be_v of_o a_o testament_n but_o be_v still_o christ_n instrument_n by_o which_o he_o do_v give_v and_o bequeathe_v all_o his_o

the_o old_a give_v by_o promise_n the_o new_a give_v by_o actual_a performance_n the_o type_n which_o be_v in_o themselves_o abolish_v do_v stand_v firm_a for_o ever_o in_o the_o thing_n by_o they_o

divers_a other_o place_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o vanity_n of_o this_o first_o difference_n another_o difference_n which_o they_o make_v be_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v seal_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o old_a with_o the_o blood_n of_o bullock_n goat_n and_o other_o sacrifice_n this_o also_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o former_a doctrine_n for_o if_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v christ_n testament_n and_o have_v be_v of_o force_n at_o any_o time_n it_o be_v of_o force_n by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n death_n come_v between_o for_o otherwise_o no_o testament_n be_v in_o

of_o christ_n and_o have_v be_v in_o force_n to_o the_o father_n as_o all_o true_a christian_n confess_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v seal_v not_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o bullock_n only_o but_o also_o by_o christ_n blood_n and_o so_o this_o difference_n be_v not_o true_a but_o because_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o justify_v it_o hebr._n 9_o let_v i_o show_v how_o far_o it_o may_v be_v admit_v and_o wherein_o it_o be_v faulty_a first_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v outward_o seal_v at_o the_o first_o and_o so_o long_o as_o it_o stand_v alone_o in_o
