least_o omission_n of_o any_o duty_n more_o than_o do_v the_o law_n 3._o the_o authority_n and_o obligation_n that_o lie_v on_o and_o bind_v to_o holiness_n be_v no_o less_o in_o the_o gospel_n than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o law_n yea_o we_o may_v say_v that_o the_o obligation_n be_v in_o some_o respect_n great_a but_o they_o deffer_n in_o these_o three_o 1._o that_o the_o gospel_n take_v in_o the_o penitent_a though_o he_o have_v not_o be_v perfect_a and_o exact_a and_o give_v he_o pardon_v through_o christ_n which_o the_o law_n do_v not_o 2._o the_o gospel_n call_v for_o duty_n in_o the_o strength_n of_o christ_n and_o furnish_v strength_n for_o duty_n but_o the_o law_n now_o furnish_v no_o strength_n but_o only_o suppose_v it_o it_o only_o give_v out_o the_o word_n of_o command_n require_v of_o man_n that_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o strength_n which_o they_o have_v once_o in_o adam_n so_o that_o though_o the_o authority_n and_o obligation_n be_v the_o same_o yet_o the_o manner_n and_o certification_n be_v not_o the_o same_o if_o there_o be_v any_o breach_n or_o fail_v the_o law_n say_v thou_o shall_v certain_o die_v but_o the_o gospel_n as_o i_o say_v admit_v of_o repentance_n and_o flee_v to_o jesus_n christ_n who_o take_v on_o he_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n 3._o the_o law_n accept_v of_o no_o duty_n if_o it_o be_v not_o exact_o perfect_a in_o the_o degree_n but_o the_o gospel_n accept_v of_o duty_n though_o imperfect_a if_o there_o be_v sincerity_n it_o accept_v on_o christ_n account_n of_o a_o man_n according_a to_o that_o which_o he_o have_v if_o there_o be_v a_o willing_a mind_n so_o then_o when_o you_o be_v call_v to_o walk_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n you_o will_v know_v that_o you_o be_v not_o to_o dispense_v with_o yourselves_o in_o the_o least_o in_o any_o duty_n that_o the_o law_n call_v for_o though_o the_o gospel_n do_v indeed_o more_o sweet_o call_v for_o it_o its_o exactor_n and_o officer_n be_v peace_n and_o righteousness_n it_o be_v the_o same_o holiness_n in_o the_o matter_n extent_n and_o degree_n which_o the_o gospel_n call_v for_o with_o that_o of_o the_o law_n though_o it_o much_o differ_v as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o call_v for_o it_o second_o that_o we_o may_v know_v what_o be_v call_v for_o in_o the_o gospel_n as_o a_o walk_n or_o conversation_n become_v the_o same_o and_o so_o may_v yet_o further_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o gospel-holiness_n which_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n we_o propose_v to_o speak_v to_o you_o will_v consider_v the_o gospel_n as_o it_o be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o law_n and_o as_o it_o hold_v our_o grace_n where_o we_o will_v speak_v 1._o of_o some_o qualification_n that_o the_o gospel_n add_v as_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o same_o duty_n which_o t●●_n law_n require_v 2._o of_o some_o particular_a duty_n which_o it_o do_v more_o especial_o call_v for_o and_o which_o be_v not_o several_n of_o they_o at_o least_o so_o proper_a to_o the_o law_n as_o for_o the_o qualification_n of_o duty_n which_o the_o gospel_n add_v they_o be_v these_o 1._o a_o new_a end_n for_o our_o end_n in_o duty_n now_o be_v not_o to_o gain_v life_n by_o it_o but_o simple_o to_o glorify_v god_n as_o we_o may_v see_v 1_o cor._n 10.31_o i_o will_v not_o say_v but_o this_o end_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o in_o the_o gospel_n this_o be_v not_o only_o the_o main_a end_n but_o some_o way_n the_o only_a end_n and_o the_o other_o quite_o exclude_v and_o thrust_v out_o and_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n we_o take_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o redeemer_n who_o furnish_v grace_n 2._o it_o add_v a_o sweet_a motive_n viz._n love_n to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o love_n of_o ch_n be_v it_o say_v the_o apostle_n 2_o cor._n 5.14_o constrain_v we_o it_o be_v no_o more_o mere_a awe_n that_o be_v the_o motive_n but_o love_n and_o love_n to_o god_n in_o christ_n who_o have_v redeem_v and_o buy_v we_o 3._o the_o gospel_n qualify_v our_o obedience_n and_o walk_n as_o to_o our_o undertake_n thereof_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o own_o strength_n but_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o teach_v we_o to_o go_v through_o the_o wilderness_n lean_v on_o the_o belove_a and_o leave_v the_o burden_n of_o the_o work_n on_o he_o trust_v more_o to_o he_o then_o to_o our_o own_o foot_n or_o strength_n as_o know_v that_o we_o can_v cripple_n out_o the_o way_n nor_o do_v any_o thing_n without_o he_o as_o it_o be_v john_n 15.5_o 4._o there_o be_v a_o qualification_n require_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o frame_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n with_o respect_n to_o a_o twofold_a fear_n one_o be_v a_o filial_a and_o reverential_a fear_n that_o proceed_v from_o faith_n in_o which_o we_o be_v to_o work_v out_o the_o work_n of_o our_o salvation_n the_o other_o be_v that_o it_o be_v without_o the_o fear_n that_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o former_a as_o the_o word_n be_v luke_n 1.74_o the_o gospel_n call_v we_o in_o our_o walk_n to_o have_v a_o fear_n without_o fear_n a_o reverential_a fear_n without_o slavish_a fear_n it_o will_v have_v we_o neither_o to_o be_v altogether_o afraid_a because_o of_o the_o law_n which_o have_v terror_n nor_o to_o be_v without_o filial_a fear_n for_o that_o be_v presumption_n but_o to_o have_v faith_n and_o fear_v mix_v together_o 5._o the_o gospel_n qualify_v our_o walk_n in_o spiritual_a duty_n in_o respect_n of_o our_o cheerfulness_n in_o go_v about_o they_o which_o be_v to_o we_o in_o so_o far_o as_o we_o have_v corruption_n in_o we_o heavy_a and_o grievous_a but_o the_o gospel_n make_v they_o easy_a and_o light_a as_o it_o be_v say_v matth._n 11._o ult_n his_o yoke_n be_v easy_a and_o his_o burden_n light_n though_o it_o be_v a_o yoke_n yet_o it_o be_v portable_a and_o light_a when_o christ_n and_o the_o believer_n be_v yoke_v together_o nor_o be_v any_o of_o his_o command_n grievous_a as_o it_o be_v 1_o john_n 5.3_o 6._o though_o the_o gospel_n call_v for_o holiness_n yet_o it_o make_v the_o person_n to_o be_v deny_v to_o it_o it_o be_v a_o gospel-walk_a to_o be_v holy_a but_o it_o take_v in_o that_o

and_o dung_n for_o christ_n it_o be_v indeed_o a_o law-walk_a to_o be_v blameless_a but_o it_o be_v a_o gospel_n walk_v to_o study_v to_o be_v blameless_a and_o press_v hard_o after_o perfect_a

particular_o call_v for_o in_o this_o walk_n and_o conversation_n become_v the_o gospel_n you_o may_v take_v these_o short_o the_o first_o whereof_o be_v a_o live_n by_o faith_n and_o that_o be_v when_o a_o christian_a have_v faith_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o on_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v another_o life_n to_o he_o for_o though_o there_o be_v a_o life_n of_o faith_n or_o of_o

one_o spirit_n another_o be_v purity_n in_o the_o faith_n that_o with_o one_o mind_n they_o strive_v together_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o first_o qualification_n be_v joint_n and_o

desirable_a and_o excellent_a qualification_n of_o a_o christian_a viz._n purity_n solidity_n and_o seriousness_n in_o religion_n we_o shall_v at_o this_o time_n speak_v of_o the_o exhortation_n only_o let_v your_o conversation_n be_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n where_o by_o conversation_n we_o understand_v the_o whole_a of_o a_o man_n carriage_n and_o walk_v towards_o and_o before_o god_n and_o man_n and_o by_o the_o gospel_n the_o whole_a doctrine_n thereof_o as_o it_o respect_v faith_n and_o manner_n or_o practice_n but_o here_o more_o especial_o as_o it_o respect_v faith_n in_o chr●st_n both_o as_o it_o be_v oppose_v to_o heathenism_n and_o as_o it_o be_v oppose_v to_o the_o law_n or_o covenant_n of_o work_n to_o walk_v then_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n be_v to_o walk_v answerable_o and_o suitable_o to_o it_o and_o in_o the_o whole_a of_o their_o carriage_n and_o deportment_n to_o make_v a_o manifest_a difference_n to_o appear_v betwixt_o themselves_o and_o all_o other_o person_n as_o they_o be_v dignify_v and_o as_o the_o gospel_n require_v the_o point_n of_o doctrine_n to_o which_o we_o will_v speak_v from_o these_o word_n and_o which_o lie_v obvious_o in_o they_o be_v that_o they_o who_o be_v privilege_v with_o the_o gospel_n ought_v serious_o to_o endeavour_v and_o to_o make_v it_o their_o great_a business_n to_o have_v their_o

who_o have_v be_v communicant_n yesterday_o this_o will_v be_v the_o great_a duty_n which_o he_o will_v enforce_v upon_o you_o only_o let_v your_o conversation_n be_v as_o it_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n you_o will_v ready_o say_v what_o be_v that_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v hard_a to_o tell_v it_o be_v so_o very_o marrowie_a and_o comprehensive_a but_o it_o will_v be_v as_o hard_a to_o
