A45147	Pacification touching the doctrinal dissent among our united brethren in London being an answer to Mr. Williams and Mr. Lobb both, who have appealed in one point (collected for an error) to this author, for his determination about it : together with some other more necessary points falling in, as also that case of non-resistance, which hath always been a case of that grand concern to the state, and now more especially, in regard to our loyalty to King William, and association to him, resolved, on that occasion / by Mr. John Humfrey.

promise_n threat_v and_o obligation_n of_o the_o law_n of_o work_n continue_v under_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o error_n he_o conclude_v that_o the_o law_n of_o work_n not_o moral_a law_n be_v abrogate_a this_o resolution_n i_o rest_v not_o upon_o as_o something_o dark_a and_o too_o short_a for_o how_o solid_o soever_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o obligation_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o have_v he_o not_o full_o venture_v to_o determine_v this_o point_n and_o i_o think_v can_v not_o do_v it_o mr._n baxter_n therefore_o tie_v not_o himself_o to_o mr._n lawson_n opinion_n be_v singular_a in_o his_o own_o the_o precept_n and_o threat_n say_v he_o be_v of_o force_n but_o the_o promise_n only_o cease_v this_o be_v his_o brief_a state_n of_o the_o point_n and_o i_o think_v it_o rare_a so_o pierce_v a_o man_n shall_v take_v up_o with_o it_o do_v christ_n come_v from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n to_o take_v on_o he_o our_o nature_n and_o put_v himself_o under_o the_o law_n to_o obey_v it_o perfect_o and_o suffer_v the_o penalty_n to_o redeem_v we_o from_o it_o and_o be_v this_o all_o that_o freedom_n that_o deliverance_n we_o have_v from_o it_o that_o the_o promisa●y_a part_n cease_v what_o benefit_n be_v there_o in_o that_o we_o be_v uncapable_a to_o perform_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o law_n say_v he_o and_o therefore_o the_o promise_n be_v void_a but_o neither_o what_o this_o excellent_a man_n say_v here_o be_v true_a nor_o be_v it_o the_o thing_n which_o shall_v be_v say_v it_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n because_o the_o delivery_n of_o we_o from_o the_o law_n which_o the_o scripture_n

and_o it_o be_v not_o true_a because_o the_o lord_n jesus_n a_o man_n as_o we_o be_v do_v perform_v the_o condition_n and_o make_v the_o reward_n thereby_o due_a to_o he_o of_o debt_n or_o merit_n

own_o that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o work_n continue_v whole_o as_o to_o we_o in_o his_o precept_n promise_v and_o threat_v unabolish_v do_v we_o make_v void_a the_o law_n through_o faith_n god_n forbid_v yea_o we_o establish_v it_o i_o have_v former_o thus_o explain_v and_o state_v my_o judgement_n the_o moral_a law_n or_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v a_o law_n or_o rule_n of_o life_n or_o

or_o covenant_n through_o our_o sin_n we_o and_o all_o the_o world_n in_o god_n hand_n liable_a to_o wrath_n and_o condemnation_n and_o god_n as_o rector_n and_o judge_n do_v stand_v engage_v to_o
