speak_v not_o of_o before_o in_o the_o distinction_n now_o do_v you_o indeed_o think_v that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o what_o ever_o you_o now_o mean_a by_o the_o old_a rule_n and_o moral_a law_n be_v the_o sufficient_a and_o only_a rule_n of_o knowledge_n judgement_n and_o faith_n i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o you_o will_v acknowledge_v the_o assent_v act_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v

for_o your_o faith_n in_o the_o article_n of_o christ_n incarnation_n birth_n life_n innocency_n miracle_n death_n burial_n resurrection_n assension_n full_a dominion_n in_o his_o humane_a nature_n

also_o matter_n of_o duty_n for_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o believe_v all_o these_o truth_n but_o i_o think_v it_o be_v then_o no_o man_n duty_n to_o believe_v that_o this_o jesus_n the_o son_n of_o

as_o you_o say_v the_o only_a rule_n of_o our_o duty_n in_o believe_v 4._o but_o what_o if_o all_o this_o have_v be_v leave_v out_o and_o you_o have_v prove_v the_o moral_a law_n the_o only_a rule_n of_o duty_n do_v it_o follow_v that_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o only_a rule_n sure_o it_o be_v not_o the_o only_a rule_n of_o reward_v for_o if_o you_o take_v the_o moral_a law_n for_o the_o mere_a preceptive_a part_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n than_o it_o be_v no_o rule_n at_o all_o of_o reward_v for_o it_o be_v the_o promise_n and_o not_o the_o precept_n that_o do_v make_v due_a the_o reward_n and_o if_o you_o take_v the_o moral_a law_n for_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a dispute_n whether_o it_o be_v regula_n pramiandi_fw-la at_o all_o much_o

perfect_o obey_v everlasting_a glory_n in_o heaven_n have_v be_v natural_o our_o due_n and_o for_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o such_o like_a they_o be_v such_o mercy_n as_o i_o never_o hear_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n make_v the_o only_a rule_n of_o our_o right_n to_o they_o 5._o the_o same_o i_o may_v say_v of_o the_o rule_n of_o punishment_n the_o privation_n of_o a_o purchase_v offer_a remission_n and_o salvation_n be_v one_o part_n of_o the_o penalty_n of_o the_o new_a law_n of_o which_o the_o moral_a law_n can_v scarce_o be_v say_v the_o only_a rule_n none_n of_o they_o that_o be_v bid_v shall_v taste_v of_o the_o supper_n 6._o but_o the_o principal_a thing_n that_o i_o intend_v be_v that_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v not_o the_o only_a rule_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o condition_n of_o life_n or_o death_n and_o therefore_o not_o the_o only_a rule_n according_a to_o which_o we_o must_v now_o be_v denominate_v and_o hereafter_o sentence_v just_a or_o unjust_a for_o if_o the_o accuser_n say_v he_o have_v not_o perform_v

the_o thing_n or_o instrument_n be_v real_o we_o or_o that_o we_o own_v it_o and_o so_o as_o amesius_n say_v to_o be_v testimonium_fw-la secundarium_fw-la add_v to_o the_o primary_n testimony_n of_o the_o covenant_n or_o other_o instrument_n but_o the_o special_a end_n of_o the_o seal_n arise_v from_o the_o nature_n and_o use_n of_o the_o instrument_n seal_v and_o not_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o seal_n as_o such_o my_o opinion_n now_o upon_o the_o present_a controversy_n i_o give_v you_o in_o these_o conclusion_n concl._n 1._o take_v the_o word_n as_o strict_o as_o we_o use_v to_o do_v in_o english_a the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o proper_o seal_n but_o metaphorical_o but_o take_v the_o word_n seal_v more_o large_o as_o it_o signify_v any_o institute_v sign_n for_o testimony_n of_o one_o own_v the_o instrument_n reveal_v promise_v exhibit_v etc._n etc._n so_o they_o may_v be_v call_v seal_n 2._o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o universal_a or_o indefinite_a subject_n but_o to_o particular_n indeed_o they_o can_v be_v entire_a sacrament_n without_o particular_a application_n that_o be_v either_o to_o that_o particular_a congregation_n or_o a_o particular_a person_n and_o still_o the_o receptive_a application_n must_v be_v personal_a 3._o therefore_o not_o mere_a universal_a or_o particular_a or_o indefinite_a enunciation_n be_v to_o be_v use_v by_o the_o administer_v but_o singular_n also_o 4._o yet_o i_o conceive_v that_o as_o the_o universal_a enunciation_n be_v first_o to_o be_v express_v so_o it_o be_v that_o universal_a that_o be_v seal_v though_o with_o application_n to_o singular_a person_n it_o be_v not_o a_o collective_a but_o a_o distributive_a universal_a and_o not_o distributive_a only_o in_o genera_n singulorum_fw-la but_o in_o singula_fw-la generum_fw-la and_o therefore_o may_v be_v apply_v ad_fw-la singula_fw-la generum_fw-la 5._o i_o conceive_v that_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o seal_v first_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o history_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o blood_n shed_v and_o also_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o this_o blood_n be_v shed_v as_o a_o ransom_n for_o sinner_n and_o that_o it_o be_v for_o our_o sin_n that_o he_o die_v 6._o and_o this_o quoad_fw-la institutionem_fw-la sacramentorum_fw-la may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v intend_v to_o his_o universal_a church_n but_o quoad_fw-la exercitium_fw-la &_o actual●m_fw-la applicationem_fw-la it_o be_v direct_o still_o to_o singular_n 7._o i_o conceive_v also_o that_o in_o the_o ministerial_a act_n of_o offering_n and_o say_v take_v eat_v drink_v christ_n may_v be_v say_v to_o seal_v his_o precept_n whereby_o he_o have_v make_v it_o the_o duty_n of_o man_n to_o take_v or_o accept_v a_o offer_a saviour_n with_o his_o benefit_n on_o the_o offerer_n term_n 8._o thus_o far_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o he_o seal_v to_o hypocrite_n as_o well_o as_o to_o true_a believer_n 9_o concern_v the_o promise_n or_o testament_n we_o must_v yet_o distinct_o consider_v 1._o the_o promise_n itself_o which_o go_v first_o 2._o the_o seal_n of_o this_o promise_n which_o be_v next_o 3._o the_o delivery_n or_o application_n by_o offer_n which_o be_v next_o 4._o the_o reception_n or_o acceptance_n of_o the_o thing_n offer_v which_o be_v next_o 5._o the_o actual_a efficacy_n of_o the_o promise_n in_o constitute_v the_o right_n of_o the_o receiver_n in_o the_o benefit_n which_o be_v next_o 6._o the_o mutual_a obligation_n of_o each_o party_n to_o fulfil_v the_o remainder_n of_o the_o covenant_n for_o the_o future_a which_o be_v the_o last_o 10._o that_o seal_n which_o proper_o confirm_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v true_a be_v miracle_n and_o other_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o the_o sacrament_n though_o they_o may_v do_v much_o also_o to_o that_o as_o they_o be_v a_o continue_a public_a commemoration_n and_o so_o a_o excellent_a way_n of_o tradition_n yet_o be_v they_o especial_o applicatory_a sign_n for_o renew_v clear_a apprehension_n help_v memory_n assist_v in_o our_o application_n of_o the_o general_a promise_n resolve_v our_o will_n exciting_a our_o affection_n to_o a_o more_o lively_a sense_n of_o christ_n love_n and_o our_o sin_n and_o duty_n etc._n etc._n and_o actual_o to_o help_v we_o in_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o redeemer_n by_o so_o

their_o application_n or_o explication_n be_v no_o addition_n to_o the_o sense_n nor_o any_o make_n of_o a_o new_a law_n or_o covenant_n therefore_o when_o god_n say_v whosoever_o will_v believe_v shall_v have_v christ_n and_o life_n and_o the_o minister_n say_v if_o thou_o a._n b._n will_v believe_v thou_o shall_v have_v christ_n and_o life_n the_o minister_n add_v not_o to_o the_o promise_n

secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la may_v be_v only_o distribute_v into_o species_n or_o genera_fw-la singulorum_fw-la 13._o and_o therefore_o to_o seal_v to_o that_o singular_a enunciation_n be_v no_o more_o than_o to_o seal_v to_o the_o universal_a but_o much_o less_o if_o it_o be_v to_o that_o alone_a 14._o it_o be_v god_n legal_a deed_n of_o gift_n or_o promise_v write_v in_o scripture_n or_o
