and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o christ_n die_v to_o purchase_v this_o which_o he_o can_v give_v we_o a_o great_a right_n to_o than_o we_o have_v before_o his_o death_n if_o subjection_n and_o nonresistance_n be_v our_o duty_n before_o and_o cease_v to_o be_v our_o duty_n now_o then_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n have_v cancel_v the_o obligation_n of_o our_o duty_n and_o purchase_v a_o liberty_n and_o freedom_n not_o to_o do_v that_o now_o which_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o nature_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v before_o that_o be_v christ_n by_o his_o death_n have_v abrogate_a not_o only_o the_o ceremonial_a but_o some_o moral_a law_n which_o i_o show_v you_o before_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o design_n of_o his_o undertake_n 2._o it_o be_v strange_o unaccountable_a how_o obedience_n to_o any_o law_n shall_v abrogate_v and_o cancel_v it_o how_o christ_n by_o subjection_n to_o the_o high_a power_n shall_v for_o ever_o after_o deliver_v his_o disciple_n from_o the_o necessity_n of_o subjection_n and_o make_v they_o free_a from_o the_o authority_n and_o government_n of_o prince_n whenever_o they_o dislike_v their_o government_n a_o typical_a law_n may_v be_v fulfil_v and_o receive_v its_o just_a accomplishment_n and_o then_o its_o obligation_n cease_v thus_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n fulfil_v the_o levitical_a sacrifice_n and_o put_v a_o end_n to_o they_o but_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o moral_a law_n be_v confirm_v and_o strengthen_v not_o abrogate_a and_o disannul_v by_o great_a example_n when_o christ_n quiet_o and_o patient_o submit_v to_o the_o most_o unjust_a sentence_n in_o obedience_n to_o lawful_a authority_n he_o either_o do_v well_o or_o ill_o in_o it_o if_o he_o do_v ill_a his_o example_n indeed_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imitate_v but_o if_o he_o do_v well_o how_o do_v his_o do_v well_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o obligation_n of_o do_v well_o do_v his_o do_v well_o make_v it_o ill_o for_o we_o to_o do_v as_o he_o do_v why_o do_v not_o his_o perfect_a and_o unsinning_a obedience_n as_o well_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o obligation_n of_o all_o the_o other_o law_n of_o god_n as_o from_o obedience_n and_o subjection_n to_o prince_n the_o antinomian_o indeed_o be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n in_o our_o stead_n and_o that_o every_o believer_n have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o fulfil_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n as_o a_o condition_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o absurd_a as_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o life_n and_o death_n have_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n and_o cancel_v any_o one_o law_n of_o god_n the_o law_n be_v in_o force_n still_o and_o the_o duty_n be_v the_o same_o but_o the_o law_n can_v take_v hold_n of_o they_o nor_o exact_v a_o personal_a righteousness_n from_o they_o because_o they_o have_v already_o fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o christ._n but_o now_o these_o man_n must_v say_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o only_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o subjection_n and_o nonresistance_n as_o a_o condition_n of_o salvation_n but_o have_v cancel_v it_o as_o a_o rule_n of_o life_n 3._o the_o death_n of_o christ_n can_v not_o purchase_v any_o civil_a right_n or_o liberty_n which_o we_o have_v not_o before_o nor_o make_v any_o change_n in_o the_o external_a fortune_n or_o condition_n of_o man_n the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v represent_v in_o scripture_n either_o as_o a_o atonement_n or_o expiation_n of_o sin_n or_o as_o the_o purchase_n and_o seal_v of_o the_o new_a covenant_n now_o how_o do_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n by_o expiate_v our_o sin_n deliver_v we_o from_o subjection_n to_o our_o civil_a governor_n what_o connexion_n be_v there_o between_o the_o expiation_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o our_o freedom_n from_o the_o authority_n of_o prince_n that_o he_o who_o do_v one_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o do_v the_o other_o and_o as_o for_o the_o new_a covenant_n where_o do_v that_o grant_n any_o new_a franchise_n and_o liberty_n to_o subject_n let_v they_o produce_v their_o new_a charter_n to_o justify_v their_o exemption_n from_o subjection_n to_o prince_n let_v they_o show_v any_o one_o say_v in_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o saviour_n if_o they_o can_v to_o that_o purpose_n what_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n be_v you_o have_v already_o hear_v and_o when_o christ_n die_v to_o confirm_v the_o new_a covenant_n in_o his_o blood_n it_o be_v absurd_a to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v purchase_v any_o liberty_n for_o we_o but_o what_o he_o have_v express_o grant_v to_o we_o in_o his_o gospel_n he_o do_v indeed_o promise_v liberty_n &_o freedom_n to_o his_o subject_n but_o it_o be_v a_o liberty_n of_o another_o nature_n a_o liberty_n from_o the_o power_n and_o dominion_n of_o sin_n you_o shall_v know_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o truth_n shall_v make_v you_o free_a 8_o john_n 32._o that_o be_v the_o power_n of_o the_o gospel-revelation_n shall_v deliver_v they_o from_o the_o empire_n of_o their_o lust_n and_o give_v they_o the_o true_a government_n and_o mastery_n of_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o he_o add_v very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o whosoever_o commit_v sin_n be_v the_o servant_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o servant_n abide_v not_o in_o the_o house_n for_o ever_o but_o the_o son_n abide_v for_o ever_o if_o the_o son_n therefore_o shall_v make_v you_o free_a you_o shall_v be_v free_a indeed_o 34_o 35_o 36_o v._n but_o do_v not_o st._n paul_n advise_v the_o corinthian_n to_o assert_v even_o their_o civil_a and_o political_a freedom_n when_o they_o can_v and_o that_o from_o this_o argument_n that_o they_o be_v the_o freeman_n of_o christ_n which_o seem_v to_o intimate_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o connexion_n between_o our_o spiritual_a and_o civil_a liberty_n that_o it_o do_v not_o become_v christ_n freeman_n to_o be_v slave_n and_o servant_n unto_o man_n 1_o cor._n 7._o 21_o 22_o 23_o v_o art_n thou_o call_v be_v a_o servant_n care_n not_o for_o it_o but_o if_o thou_o may_v be_v make_v free_a use_v it_o rather_o for_o he_o that_o be_v call_v in_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o servant_n be_v the_o lord_n be_v free_a man_n likewise_o also_o he_o that_o be_v call_v be_v free_a be_v christ_n servant_n you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n be_v not_o the_o servant_n of_o man_n but_o what_o be_v it_o they_o will_v prove_v from_o these_o word_n that_o our_o subjection_n to_o man_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o our_o freedom_n in_o christ_n that_o the_o apostle_n express_o deny_v for_o he_o that_o be_v a_o servont_n be_v christ_n freeman_n or_o that_o christ_n when_o he_o make_v we_o free_a do_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o subjection_n of_o man_n not_o that_o neither_o for_o he_o do_v not_o advise_v christian_a servant_n to_o leave_v their_o master_n as_o he_o may_v and_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v if_o christ_n have_v bestow_v this_o civil_a liberty_n on_o they_o but_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o this_o that_o when_o onesimus_n have_v run_v away_o from_o his_o master_n philemon_n and_o be_v convert_v by_o st._n paul_n and_o prove_v very_o useful_a and_o serviceable_a in_o the_o ministry_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o detain_v he_o from_o his_o master_n without_o ask_v his_o leave_n which_o occasion_v the_o epistle_n to_o philemon_n as_o you_o may_v see_v 10_o 11_o 12_o etc._n etc._n and_o in_o this_o place_n he_o advise_v the_o christian_a servant_n not_o to_o be_v concern_v at_o their_o be_v servant_n which_o be_v no_o injury_n at_o all_o to_o their_o christian_a liberty_n but_o if_o they_o can_v procure_v their_o liberty_n by_o any_o fair_a and_o just_a mean_n they_o shall_v choose_v to_o do_v it_o which_o be_v upon_o many_o account_n more_o desirable_a especial_o when_o christian_n be_v servant_n to_o heathen_a master_n as_o it_o often_o be_v in_o those_o day_n but_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n express_o tell_v they_o you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n be_v not_o you_o the_o servant_n of_o man_n yes_o he_o do_v but_o sure_o this_o can_v signify_v that_o servant_n shall_v cast_v off_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o master_n for_o that_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o what_o he_o have_v advise_v they_o before_o and_o contrary_a to_o his_o own_o practice_n in_o the_o case_n of_o onesimus_n who_o he_o send_v back_o to_o his_o master_n philemon_n but_o all_o that_o i_o understand_v by_o it_o be_v this_o that_o those_o christian_a servant_n who_o can_v not_o obtain_v their_o freedom_n shall_v yet_o take_v care_n not_o to_o be_v servant_n to_o the_o lust_n and_o passion_n of_o their_o heathen_a master_n for_o though_o a_o state_n of_o civil_a bondage_n and_o slavery_n be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o their_o
