that_o be_v not_o he_o that_o only_o believe_v i_o be_o the_o true_a messiah_n and_o the_o redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n not_o every_o one_o that_o pretend_v to_o rely_v upon_o i_o for_o salvation_n shall_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o do_v the_o will_n of_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n this_o be_v require_v to_o salvation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o i_o come_v not_o to_o save_v rebel_n continue_v such_o but_o to_o save_v they_o who_o set_v themselves_o to_o do_v my_o father_n will_n and_o to_o obey_v his_o command_n and_o from_o hencesorth_n to_o the_o end_n of_o his_o sermon_n on_o the_o mount_n and_o to_o the_o end_n of_o this_o chapter_n do_v our_o saviour_n very_o evident_o set_v himself_o to_o enforce_v and_o urge_v the_o same_o thing_n the_o follow_a discourse_n on_o this_o subject_a i_o shall_v divide_v into_o these_o 3_o part_n 1._o i_o shall_v show_v that_o it_o be_v necessary_a and_o require_v even_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o set_v ourselves_o to_o obey_v and_o keep_v the_o command_n of_o god_n 2._o i_o shall_v show_v how_o far_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v this_o 3._o i_o shall_v make_v some_o application_n in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o shall_v make_v it_o evident_a that_o it_o be_v necessary_a and_o require_v of_o christian_n that_o they_o set_v themselves_o to_o keep_v the_o command_n of_o god_n this_o be_v require_v of_o all_o those_o who_o be_v grow_v person_n and_o be_v come_v to_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o reason_n they_o who_o have_v opportunity_n to_o do_v this_o must_v do_v it_o and_o they_o can_v be_v save_v without_o this_o by_o any_o merit_n or_o mediation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n indeed_o infant_n baptize_v and_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n may_v be_v save_v by_o the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n without_o the_o exercise_n and_o practice_n of_o good_a work_n which_o they_o have_v not_o capacity_n or_o opportunity_n to_o perform_v but_o grow_v person_n can_v good_a work_n or_o the_o keep_n the_o command_n of_o god_n be_v necessary_a to_o our_o find_a favour_n and_o to_o salvation_n as_o condition_n require_v to_o precede_v and_o concur_v though_o they_o do_v not_o gain_v favour_n and_o salvation_n for_o we_o as_o efficient_a or_o meritorious_a cause_n for_o proof_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v to_o make_v the_o discourse_n as_o short_a as_o i_o can_v only_o insist_v upon_o two_o argument_n omit_v many_o other_o which_o may_v be_v produce_v to_o this_o purpose_n and_o they_o that_o i_o shall_v insist_v upon_o be_v these_o 1._o we_o shall_v find_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n frequent_o urge_v and_o enjoin_v to_o christian_n by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n 2._o so_o far_o be_v the_o gospel_n from_o excuse_v our_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o it_o make_v this_o the_o necessary_a condition_n of_o our_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o jesus_n christ_n or_o in_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 1._o we_o shall_v find_v if_o we_o look_v fair_o into_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v there_o very_o frequent_o urge_v and_o enjoin_v to_o christian_n by_o our_o lord_n and_o his_o apostle_n our_o lord_n himself_o say_v he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n but_o to_o fulfil_v they_o mat._n 5._o 17._o how_o can_v it_o then_o be_v a_o doubt_n but_o that_o christian_n be_v oblige_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n when_o our_o saviour_n say_v he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v but_o to_o fulfil_v they_o that_o be_v he_o come_v not_o to_o take_v away_o the_o force_n and_o obligation_n of_o any_o but_o to_o fulfil_v and_o obey_v they_o himself_o and_o to_o enforce_v the_o observance_n of_o they_o by_o his_o follower_n his_o whole_a sermon_n in_o the_o mount_n contain_v in_o the_o 5_o 6_o and_o seven_o chapter_n of_o matthew_n be_v make_v up_o of_o moral_a instruction_n wherein_o he_o rescue_v these_o from_o the_o corrupt_a gloss_n and_o interpretation_n of_o the_o pharisee_n and_o establish_v and_o confirm_v the_o pure_a precept_n themselves_o again_o our_o saviour_n do_v enjoin_v at_o once_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o whole_a moral_a law_n as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n under_o these_o two_o general_a head_n the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o our_o neighbour_n in_o luke_n 10._o it_o be_v say_v ver._n 25._o a_o certain_a lawyer_n stand_v up_o and_o tempt_v he_o say_v master_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v to_o inherit_v eternal_a life_n jesus_n answer_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n what_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n how_o read_v thou_o he_o answer_v say_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o strength_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o mind_n and_o thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o jesus_n reply_v in_o verse_n 28._o this_o do_v and_o thou_o shall_v live_v intimate_v that_o he_o know_v no_o other_o way_n to_o life_n that_o he_o can_v take_v than_o by_o a_o diligent_a endeavour_n and_o application_n of_o himself_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o command_v of_o god_n that_o this_o be_v the_o way_n always_o appoint_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o teach_v or_o procure_v a_o new_a way_n of_o salvation_n he_o therefore_o intimate_v that_o he_o may_v learn_v in_o what_o be_v then_o write_v the_o way_n of_o salvation_n that_o be_v in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n jesus_n christ_n come_v not_o to_o alter_v the_o term_n and_o way_n to_o salvation_n which_o have_v be_v appoint_v to_o all_o the_o world_n since_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n but_o only_o to_o teach_v that_o way_n more_o perfect_o further_n the_o apostle_n also_o after_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n pour_v upon_o they_o do_v urge_v and_o require_v the_o obedience_n of_o christian_n to_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n out_o of_o the_o many_o instance_n which_o may_v be_v produce_v from_o every_o one_o of_o they_o to_o this_o purpose_n i_o shall_v content_v myself_o to_o take_v but_o one_o from_o the_o write_n of_o st._n paul_n and_o another_o from_o the_o epistle_n of_o st._n james_n to_o show_v how_o well_o these_o two_o apostle_n agree_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o to_o contract_v this_o head_n the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o eph._n 6._o 1._o 23._o say_v chidren_n obey_v your_o parent_n in_o the_o lord_n for_o this_o be_v right_n honour_n thy_o father_n and_o mother_n which_o be_v the_o first_o commandment_n with_o promise_n that_o it_o may_v be_v well_o with_o thou_o and_o that_o thou_o may_v live_v long_o on_o the_o earth_n we_o may_v see_v he_o press_v there_o the_o same_o duty_n which_o be_v enjoin_v in_o the_o 5_o commandment_n and_o we_o may_v observe_v moreover_o that_o he_o press_v it_o as_o enjoin_v there_o he_o quote_v the_o 5_o commandment_n as_o a_o oblige_a law_n and_o a_o rule_n still_o in_o force_n and_o herein_o he_o plain_o allow_v and_o establish_v the_o force_n of_o all_o the_o law_n that_o be_v moral_a st._n james_n also_o in_o the_o 2d_o chap._n to_o his_o epist_n do_v enforce_v and_o urge_v the_o obedience_n of_o christian_n to_o the_o moral_a law_n nothing_o less_o can_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o 8_o ver._n if_o you_o fulfil_v the_o royal_a law_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o thou_o shall_v do_v well_o and_o in_o the_o follow_a ver._n he_o further_o urge_v the_o obedience_n to_o this_o general_a precept_n and_o say_v he_o that_o offend_v in_o one_o point_n be_v guilty_a of_o all_o and_o bring_v his_o discourse_n to_o this_o point_n that_o he_o who_o despise_v his_o poor_a neighbour_n and_o neglect_v work_n of_o mercy_n transgress_v the_o law_n as_o well_o as_o he_o that_o shall_v kill_v or_o commit_v adultery_n which_o thing_n be_v also_o forbid_v still_o as_o he_o there_o intimate_v thus_o we_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v unanimous_o urge_v the_o christian_a church_n to_o observe_v the_o precept_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n 2._o another_o thing_n that_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o obedience_n and_o a_o good_a life_n under_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v this_o that_o even_o the_o gospel_n its_o self_n make_v this_o the_o necessary_a condition_n of_o a_o interest_n in_o jesus_n christ_n good_a work_n indeed_o do_v not_o constitute_v a_o justify_v state_n but_o they_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o attain_v it_o as_o they_o be_v the_o necessary_a condition_n of_o our_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n we_o be_v certain_o not_o admit_v into_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n without_o a_o sincere_a engagement_n to_o be_v the_o lord_n or_o without_o a_o solemn_a vow_n and_o promise_v to_o keep_v
