righteousness_n of_o god_n do_v condemn_v we_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o be_v afraid_a forasmuch_o as_o this_o be_v such_o a_o simple_a sentence_n as_o we_o may_v at_o all_o time_n appeal_v from_o it_o to_o conclude_v the_o law_n be_v as_o a_o receiver_n which_o take_v account_n of_o our_o debt_n which_o be_v so_o hard_a and_o rigorous_a that_o by_o no_o entreaty_n it_o will_v remit_v and_o pardon_v any_o thing_n of_o that_o we_o owe_v and_o will_v make_v we_o to_o pay_v to_o the_o uttermost_a farthing_n but_o the_o lord_n be_v he_o that_o stay_v &_o close_v up_o the_o count_v to_o wit_n jesus_n christ_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n good_a gracious_a and_o liberal_a entreat_v we_o with_o all_o gentleness_n neither_o demand_v any_o thing_n of_o we_o but_o that_o which_o we_o be_v able_a to_o pay_v and_o furnish_v we_o himself_o with_o that_o which_o we_o lack_v and_o acquit_v we_o of_o his_o mere_a liberality_n of_o the_o overplus_n so_o that_o present_o it_o may_v be_v supply_v in_o he_o furthermore_o we_o may_v yet_o allege_v in_o this_o judgement_n that_o the_o law_n can_v not_o make_v our_o process_n but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v our_o assessor_n who_o moderate_a judgement_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o not_o only_o it_o can_v not_o be_v hurtful_a unto_o we_o but_o very_o healthful_a for_o we_o as_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o woman_n take_v in_o adultery_n the_o figure_n thereof_o christ_n who_o be_v threaten_v before_o jesus_n christ_n by_o the_o pharisee_n who_o maintain_v that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n she_o ought_v to_o be_v stone_v to_o death_n be_v notwithstanding_o all_o that_o they_o can_v allege_v send_v away_o by_o jesus_n christ_n without_o her_o accuser_n or_o any_o other_o that_o be_v in_o their_o company_n once_o interpose_v to_o hurt_v she_o in_o any_o sort_n what_o so_o ever_o only_a jesus_n christ_n say_v unto_o she_o that_o hence_o forward_o she_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o she_o sin_v no_o more_o and_o so_o that_o condemnation_n which_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o law_n have_v pronounce_v against_o she_o be_v by_o christ_n turn_v into_o a_o simple_a admonition_n and_o instruction_n a_o thing_n that_o ought_v well_o to_o be_v mark_v faithful_a to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v understand_v what_o ought_v now_o a_o day_n to_o be_v the_o true_a use_n of_o the_o law_n towards_o the_o faithful_a which_o condemn_v they_o no_o more_o to_o death_n as_o it_o be_v wont_a but_o teach_v and_o enstruct_v they_o of_o their_o duty_n exhort_v they_o to_o that_o and_o reprove_v and_o procure_v by_o all_o mean_n so_o to_o direct_v and_o bring_v they_o on_o as_o they_o may_v be_v sufficient_o enable_v to_o go_v to_o the_o school_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o law_n and_o jesus_n christ_n in_o like_a manner_n be_v as_o a_o physician_n and_o surgeon_n gospel_n come_v to_o a_o sick_a man_n to_o heal_v he_o the_o surgeon_n open_v the_o vein_n and_o take_v away_o blood_n from_o he_o not_o to_o the_o end_n to_o make_v he_o to_o die_v but_o as_o a_o remedy_n appoint_v for_o the_o recovery_n of_o his_o health_n and_o safety_n the_o law_n also_o peirce_v our_o imposthume_n &_o sometime_o make_v a_o great_a hole_n in_o it_o but_o neither_o to_o the_o end_n to_o kill_v we_o nor_o to_o hurt_v we_o but_o to_o bring_v we_o into_o a_o good_a order_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o easy_o heal_v those_o sentence_n then_o that_o the_o law_n pronounce_v against_o we_o they_o be_v profitable_a for_o we_o for_o asmuch_o as_o they_o awaken_v we_o and_o make_v we_o to_o look_v to_o ourselves_o and_o to_o our_o affair_n and_o to_o be_v more_o diligent_a to_o search_v out_o the_o mean_n whereby_o to_o bring_v we_o into_o good_a order_n the_o last_o bulwark_n that_o we_o can_v set_v against_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o law_n law_n be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v fulfil_v the_o same_o for_o we_o as_o he_o himself_o witness_v that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o abolish_v the_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v it_o which_o thing_n s._n paul_n also_o confirm_v say_v 17._o that_o christ_n be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o law_n in_o righteousness_n to_o all_o believer_n 4._o wherefore_o we_o be_v not_o in_o any_o wife_n subject_a to_o death_n nor_o to_o the_o curse_n that_o the_o law_n have_v pronounce_v against_o they_o that_o have_v transgress_v it_o see_v we_o be_v the_o member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o we_o have_v keep_v and_o fulfil_v it_o in_o he_o and_o as_o in_o adam_n we_o be_v make_v sinner_n through_o disobedience_n even_o so_o be_v incorporate_v into_o jesus_n christ_n we_o be_v righteous_a through_o his_o obedience_n and_o so_o consequent_o exempt_v from_o the_o jurisdiction_n and_o power_n of_o the_o law_n which_o can_v not_o exercise_v the_o authority_n it_o have_v to_o condemn_v we_o but_o against_o they_o that_o transgress_v and_o be_v rebellious_a against_o it_o when_o therefore_o we_o endeavour_n ourselves_o to_o do_v our_o duty_n to_o mortify_v through_o his_o spirit_n the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n there_o be_v not_o any_o condemnation_n to_o we_o nor_o to_o all_o they_o that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v by_o a_o lively_a faith_n unite_v to_o he_o 1._o ingraff_v &_o incorporate_v into_o his_o righteousness_n the_o three_o kind_n of_o judgement_n whereof_o we_o speak_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o division_n be_v the_o judgement_n of_o man_n same_o which_o common_o be_v more_o corrupt_a and_o unjust_a by_o reason_n of_o their_o ignorance_n &_o false_a opinion_n which_o they_o conceive_v &_o frame_v in_o their_o own_o understanding_n and_o likewise_o because_o of_o their_o passion_n and_o desire_n which_o often_o time_n drive_v and_o carry_v they_o headlong_o contrary_a to_o their_o wil._n wherefore_o we_o must_v not_o trouble_v ourselves_o much_o to_o satisfy_v that_o especial_o in_o matter_n that_o appertain_v to_o religion_n and_o conscience_n as_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n which_o we_o must_v not_o take_v from_o any_o other_o but_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n nor_o search_v for_o it_o any_o where_o else_o but_o in_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n where_o all_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o write_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n wherefore_o there_o be_v no_o other_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o obedience_n but_o the_o only_a will_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o ought_v not_o to_o believe_v any_o thing_n as_o concern_v our_o salvation_n but_o that_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v in_o his_o holy_a gospel_n nor_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o his_o service_n but_o that_o which_o he_o have_v command_v and_o ordain_v in_o his_o law_n and_o when_o so_o ever_o it_o be_v find_v that_o man_n will_v be_v so_o rash_a either_o to_o add_v other_o or_o to_o diminish_v or_o to_o alter_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n there_o a_o man_n may_v judge_v and_o sure_o persuade_v himself_o of_o such_o that_o they_o be_v false_a teacher_n and_o prophet_n and_o so_o likewise_o of_o they_o that_o believe_v &_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o such_o by_o who_o they_o be_v abuse_v and_o deceive_v this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o if_o he_o will_v please_v man_n he_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o a_o other_o place_n if_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n shall_v teach_v any_o other_o gospel_n then_o that_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v publish_v 10_o that_o he_o will_v account_v he_o accurse_v it_o be_v therefore_o needful_a to_o be_v teach_v that_o in_o these_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o honour_n and_o service_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o salvation_n and_o rest_n of_o our_o soul_n we_o rest_n ourselves_o altogether_o upon_o the_o scripture_n and_o thereto_o bend_v ourselves_o as_o to_o the_o only_a mark_n that_o we_o neither_o have_v to_o much_o forward_o nor_o lag_a to_o much_o behind_o and_o further_o that_o we_o hang_fw-mi not_o upon_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n as_o whereby_o we_o may_v either_o be_v justify_v or_o condemn_v saint_n paul_n write_v to_o the_o corinthian_n say_v etc_n i_o pass_v little_a to_o be_v judge_v of_o you_o or_o of_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n no_o i_o judge_v not_o my_o own_o self_n forasmuch_o as_o i_o know_v myself_o not_o to_o be_v culpable_a in_o any_o thing_n yet_o be_o i_o not_o thereby_o justify_v but_o he_o that_o judge_v i_o be_v the_o lord_n therefore_o judge_v not_o before_o the_o time_n before_o the_o lord_n come_v who_o will_v bring_v all_o thing_n to_o light_n manifestinge_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v hide_v and_o all_o the_o counsel_n and_o affection_n of_o the_o heart_n they_o shall_v every_o one_o be_v praise_v of_o
