and_o conversation_n and_o here_o the_o apostle_n set_v forth_o 1._o those_o thing_n that_o be_v general_a to_o the_o 18._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n and_o then_o certain_a particular_a duty_n of_o parent_n child_n master_n and_o servant_n and_o after_o he_o return_v again_o to_o give_v precept_n unto_o they_o all_o in_o general_n be_v through_o faith_n ingraft_v and_o incorporate_v 1._o the_o mataphrase_n verse_n 1._o into_o christ_n as_o have_v be_v say_v and_o as_o yourselves_o profess_v as_o touch_v sin_n dead_a and_o bury_v with_o he_o and_o as_o touch_v newness_n of_o life_n quicken_v and_o rise_v again_o now_o if_o in_o truth_n you_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n then_o as_o christ_n rise_v remain_v not_o on_o earth_n but_o ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n where_o under_o

wholesome_a duty_n of_o good_a life_n whence_o we_o learn_v that_o except_o we_o be_v graft_v into_o christ_n we_o can_v possible_o bring_v forth_o any_o good_a work_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n lay_v down_o first_o the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n by_o christ_n alone_o and_o therefore_o if_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n the_o best_a work_n be_v sin_n not_o to_o speak_v of_o

they_o be_v graft_v into_o christ_n a_o second_o thing_n be_v that_o the_o apostle_n upon_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n build_v good_a work_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n he_o tell_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v without_o faith_n then_o after_o he_o exhort_v to_o 23._o rom._n 14._o 23._o good_a work_n so_o to_o the_o galathian_o have_v preach_v faith_n in_o christ_n he_o persuade_v they_o to_o do_v good_a work_n in_o vain_a we_o make_v profession_n of_o good_a work_n and_o bring_v forth_o nothing_o in_o our_o life_n and_o conversation_n jam._n 2._o 26._o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a if_o a_o man_n know_v all_o the_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o he_o be_v mount_v up_o as_o high_a as_o the_o angel_n yet_o if_o his_o life_n be_v not_o answerable_a he_o have_v be_v better_a never_o to_o have_v make_v profession_n when_o the_o apostle_n have_v speak_v against_o circumcision_n new_a moon_n and_o holy_a day_n save_o the_o sabaoth_n of_o touch_v and_o handle_v a_o man_n will_v say_v what_o will_v you_o have_v we_o do_v nothing_o of_o this_o then_o let_v we_o set_v the_o cook_n on_o the_o cook_n let_v we_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o make_v good-cheere_n and_o take_v our_o pleasure_n the_o apostle_n answer_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o take_v away_o the_o yoke_n to_o follow_v our_o own_o lust_n but_o to_o glorify_v god_n thereby_o and_o therefore_o it_o have_v be_v find_v that_o they_o have_v take_v more_o pain_n to_o go_v to_o hell_n than_o other_o have_v do_v because_o we_o will_v not_o fast_o and_o pull_v down_o our_o body_n but_o they_o condemn_v papist_n alm_n because_o they_o give_v none_o themselves_o 1._o point_v a_o exhortation_n to_o quicken_a and_o newness_n of_o life_n if_o you_o have_v

that_o be_v graft_v in_o christ_n he_o be_v quicken_v and_o he_o rise_v with_o christ_n for_o he_o rise_v not_o on_o earth_n but_o into_o heaven_n now_o let_v we_o examine_v whether_o we_o be_v rise_v

to_o come_v unto_o and_o take_v care_n for_o and_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v a_o man_n must_v study_v and_o muse_v with_o himself_o so_o solomon_n will_v we_o shall_v dig_v and_o labour_n for_o

let_v we_o examine_v whether_o our_o ear_n be_v bore_v and_o whether_o we_o gape_v for_o knowledge_n as_o the_o earth_n do_v for_o rain_n so_o say_v david_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n
