very_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o consider_v how_o you_o have_v distinguish_v the_o law_n of_o work_n and_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n for_o you_o say_v the_o ten_o commandment_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o law_n of_o work_n or_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n you_o have_v here_o make_v a_o distinction_n that_o neither_o the_o scripture_n set_v forth_o nor_o any_o author_n that_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o but_o to_o answer_v you_o direct_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v all_o one_o and_o the_o same_o not_o differ_v in_o itself_o but_o be_v a_o holy_a just_a and_o perfect_a law_n proceed_v from_o a_o holy_a god_n and_o bind_v all_o man_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o it_o and_o condemn_v every_o transgression_n against_o it_o yea_o the_o most_o holy_a man_n and_o he_o that_o be_v in_o great_a favour_n with_o god_n if_o he_o transgress_v it_o condemn_v he_o as_o just_o as_o the_o most_o ungodly_a wretch_n live_v but_o the_o difference_n lie_v in_o this_o that_o the_o one_o namely_o true_a believer_n be_v justify_v by_o christ_n from_o the_o curse_n and_o penalty_n of_o the_o law_n and_o unbeliever_n lie_v under_o the_o condemn_a power_n penalty_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n but_o you_o and_o i_o differ_v only_o in_o your_o distinction_n for_o i_o do_v not_o find_v throughout_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v call_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v other_o law_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n the_o law_n of_o faith_n or_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o many_o other_o commandment_n or_o law_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o so_o be_v none_o of_o the_o matter_n thereof_o as_o for_o the_o text_n gallat_n 6.2_o it_o be_v set_v down_o by_o the_o apostle_n as_o one_o special_a law_n of_o christ_n to_o bear_v one_o another_o burden_n but_o this_o will_v not_o prove_v your_o assertion_n that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n i_o mean_v as_o he_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n yet_o do_v i_o not_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n may_v be_v a_o rule_n and_o direction_n to_o true_a beleiver_n to_o walk_v by_o yet_o believer_n do_v not_o work_v by_o any_o compulsion_n of_o that_o law_n but_o after_o a_o more_o free_a way_n of_o love_n unto_o god_n and_o christ_n arise_v from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n unto_o they_o the_o love_n of_o god_n constrain_v they_o to_o holiness_n of_o life_n to_o labour_v to_o honour_n god_n and_o the_o apostle_n general_o do_v urge_v and_o press_v believer_n to_o holiness_n from_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o from_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n extend_v towards_o they_o in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o we_o may_v see_v titus_n 2.11.12_o roman_n 12.1_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v a_o

that_o which_o i_o chief_o intend_v and_o without_o which_o i_o have_v never_o set_v upon_o this_o work_n for_o there_o be_v less_o danger_n in_o those_o i_o have_v already_o take_v notice_n of_o

at_o the_o top_n at_o first_o before_o they_o have_v lay_v the_o first_o stone_n of_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o building_n and_o indeed_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o error_n in_o the_o understanding_n in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n they_o conceive_v that_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o preparation_n to_o faith_n in_o christ_n that_o it_o will_v much_o derrogate_v from_o free_a grace_n and_o therefore_o will_v admit_v of_o none_o for_o say_v this_o author_n it_o be_v to_o bring_v money_n in_o the_o hand_n and_o christ_n bid_v come_v buy_v wine_n and_o milk_n without_o

you_o call_v to_o mind_v who_o they_o be_v that_o be_v call_v to_o this_o feast_n it_o be_v only_o the_o thirsty_a ho_o every_o one_o that_o thirst_v come_v you_o etc._n etc._n it_o be_v not_o every_o

135_o 136._o 137._o 138._o 139._o i_o can_v but_o wonder_v at_o the_o blindness_n of_o the_o man_n in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n as_o touch_v his_o work_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o poor_a sinner_n in_o bring_v they_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o he_o he_o seem_v not_o to_o know_v what_o regeneration_n be_v for_o he_o have_v never_o mention_v it_o in_o all_o his_o book_n nor_o what_o repentatce_n be_v nor_o how_o we_o come_v to_o this_o excellent_a gift_n of_o faith_n nor_o tell_v we_o what_o it_o be_v but_o only_o that_o we_o must_v belive_o in_o christ_n and_o

for_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o you_o it_o be_v give_v to_o believe_v etc._n etc._n i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o speak_v of_o these_o thing_n more_o at_o large_a and_o to_o let_v thou_o christian_a reader_n understand_v his_o great_a error_n and_o the_o wrong_n he_o have_v do_v the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o publish_v his_o book_n in_o these_o particular_n but_o first_o i_o will_v note_v some_o thing_n out_o of_o his_o book_n in_o those_o page_n i_o have_v mention_v and_o i_o will_v do_v it_o brief_o in_o page_n 136._o he_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n justifi_v his_o child_n before_o they_o repent_v or_o true_o humble_v themselves_o etc._n etc._n but_o he_o have_v not_o set_v down_o any_o place_n of_o scripture_n for_o the_o proof_n thereof_o we_o must_v take_v his_o own_o word_n i_o shall_v prove_v the_o contrary_a very_o short_o i_o mean_v in_o their_o own_o fence_n and_o feeling_n god_n do_v never_o justify_v any_o before_o they_o repent_v and_o humble_v themselves_o in_o seek_v mercy_n from_o he_o page_n 137._o where_o it_o be_v object_v by_o himself_o that_o the_o scripture_n hold_v forth_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v repentance_n to_o go_v before_o faith_n for_o it_o be_v say_v mark_v 1.15_o repent_v and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n he_o answer_v indeed_o sometime_o the_o name_n of_o repentance_n be_v give_v to_o those_o preparatory_a

it_o be_v all_o the_o repentance_n that_o go_v before_o faith_n in_o christ_n o_o horrible_a wickedness_n how_o dare_v this_o man_n affirm_v such_o a_o thing_n that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o this_o place_n shall_v preach_v and_o call_v for_o no_o other_o repentance_n before_o believe_v but_o such_o as_o judas_n have_v but_o he_o go_v on_o and_o tell_v you_o that_o true_a and_o evangelicall_n repentance_n be_v a_o fruit_n of_o faith_n and_o can_v be_v before_o faith_n in_o christ_n i_o shall_v show_v you_o the_o contrary_a very_o speedy_o and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o

i_o be_o glad_a yet_o that_o you_o do_v not_o cast_v repentance_n quite_o away_o but_o will_v let_v it_o have_v a_o little_a place_n in_o your_o thought_n god_n grant_v you_o true_a repentance_n in_o
