exercise_n of_o right_a reason_n in_o nature_n be_v much_o obliterate_v since_o the_o fall_n therefore_o christ_n be_v so_o far_o from_o destroy_v this_o law_n in_o its_o authority_n and_o paul_n so_o far_o from_o make_v it_o void_a by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n that_o our_o lord_n tell_v he_o come_v to_o fulfil_v it_o matt._n 5._o 17._o and_o paul_n show_v that_o his_o preach_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o establish_v it_o rom._n 3._o 31._o which_o truth_n be_v confirm_v by_o they_o both_o in_o their_o practice_n and_o doctrine_n show_v that_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o holy_a law_n of_o god_n be_v no_o less_o sinful_a to_o we_o now_o than_o it_o be_v to_o they_o before_o we_o the_o second_o conclusion_n be_v that_o though_o this_o law_n and_o obedience_n thereto_o lie_v on_o christian_n and_o be_v call_v for_o from_o they_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o lay_v on_o they_o as_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n or_o that_o by_o which_o they_o be_v to_o seek_v or_o expect_v justification_n no_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o overturn_v self-righteousness_n by_o this_o doctrine_n which_o manifest_v sin_n and_o of_o itself_o work_v wrath_n which_o be_v also_o clear_a in_o that_o he_o be_v here_o call_v our_o god_n which_o he_o can_v be_v to_o sinner_n but_o by_o grace_n and_o also_o it_o appear_v from_o the_o lord_n own_v of_o this_o sinful_a people_n as_o he_o and_o his_o adjoin_v to_o this_o law_n so_o many_o ceremony_n and_o sacrifice_n which_o point_n out_o and_o lead_v to_o christ_n and_o from_o his_o add_v the_o law_n on_o mount_n sinai_n as_o a_o help_n to_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o abraham_n genes_n 17._o which_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o be_v never_o alter_v as_o to_o its_o substance_n in_o which_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n as_o his_o seed_n be_v comprehend_v therefore_o it_o appear_v that_o this_o be_v never_o the_o lord_n intent_n in_o covenant_v thus_o with_o his_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v expect_v righteousness_n and_o life_n by_o the_o adjoin_v law_n but_o only_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v useful_a in_o the_o hand_n of_o grace_n to_o make_v the_o former_a covenant_n with_o abraham_n effectual_a so_o then_o though_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o obey_v the_o law_n we_o be_v not_o to_o seek_v righteousness_n or_o life_n by_o the_o duty_n therein_o enjoin_v the_o three_o conclusion_n be_v that_o both_o minister_n in_o preach_v and_o people_n in_o practise_v of_o this_o law_n will_v carry_v with_o subordination_n to_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o duty_n call_v for_o here_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o obligation_n that_o lie_v upon_o we_o thereby_o &_o so_o all_o our_o obedience_n to_o god_n ought_v still_o to_o run_v in_o that_o channel_n if_o we_o ask_v how_o these_o two_o differ_v to_o wit_n the_o perform_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o law_n as_o run_v in_o the_o channel_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o perform_n of_o they_o as_o run_v

about_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o law_n with_o subordination_n to_o christ_n and_o his_o grace_n i_o answer_v they_o differ_v in_o these_o four_o thing_n which_o show_n that_o these_o duty_n be_v not_o

all_o within_o thy_o gate_n look_v not_o only_o to_o master_n and_o all_o in_o their_o family_n or_o within_o their_o door_n but_o to_o magistrate_n and_o governor_n and_o all_o within_o their_o

this_o day_n hence_o we_o gather_v 1_o that_o idleness_n be_v a_o sin_n and_o that_o they_o will_v hardly_o give_v god_n his_o due_a on_o the_o seven_o day_n who_o be_v not_o diligent_a in_o the_o duty_n of_o some_o lawful_a call_n and_o station_n for_o god_n honour_n and_o other_o good_a through_o the_o six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v often_o see_v that_o such_o be_v

will_v not_o agree_v with_o this_o command_n allow_v man_n six_o for_o labour_n it_o be_v true_a god_n may_v sovereign_o limit_v man_n but_o where_o he_o have_v give_v liberty_n if_o it_o be_v but_o by_o concession_n who_o can_v restrain_v concern_v day_n therefore_o we_o lie_v down_o these_o four_o 1._o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o solemn_a seet_v apart_o of_o any_o day_n to_o any_o creature_n thus_o saint_n day_n be_v unlawful_a for_o the_o sabbath_n or_o day_n of_o rest_n be_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o none_o other_o it_o be_v a_o peculiar_a piece_n of_o worship_n to_o he_o who_o have_v divide_v time_n betwixt_o his_o worship_n and_o our_o work_n and_o although_o man_n shall_v keep_v the_o day_n and_o alter_v the_o worship_n yet_o this_o be_v a_o take_n of_o that_o which_o

to_o equal_v it_o with_o this_o day_n that_o be_v apart_o of_o god_n royal_a prerogative_n and_o a_o thing_n peculiar_a to_o he_o to_o sanctify_v and_o bless_v a_o day_n 3._o even_o those_o day_n

therefore_o be_v for_o the_o ordinary_a rule_n but_o yet_o admit_v of_o the_o exception_n of_o extraordinary_a case_n 3._o we_o gather_v that_o master_n and_o parent_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o

be_v a_o special_a communion_n in_o worship_v of_o god_n among_o the_o several_a relation_n of_o a_o family_n 4._o we_o gather_v that_o magistrate_n and_o all_o who_o have_v power_n over_o other_o
