be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o rather_o a_o mark_n that_o we_o shall_v shoot_v at_o and_o the_o end_n of_o a_o commandment_n than_o a_o thing_n command_v m._n perkins_n second_o reason_n the_o compass_n of_o the_o law_n be_v large_a and_o comprehend_v commandment_n not_o only_o negative_a but_o also_o affirmative_a and_o in_o the_o negative_a be_v not_o only_o forbid_v the_o capital_a sin_n as_o murder_v adultery_n theft_n but_o all_o sin_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n with_o all_o their_o occasion_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o affirmative_a be_v command_v not_o only_o the_o contrary_a virtue_n but_o all_o help_n and_o mean_n whereby_o the_o say_v virtue_n may_v be_v preserve_v thus_o do_v our_o saviour_n himself_o say_v he_o expound_v the_o law_n upon_o which_o ground_n she_o conclude_v that_o all_o duty_n pertain_v to_o life_n and_o manner_n come_v within_o the_o list_n of_o some_o moral_a commandment_n answer_n the_o commandment_n be_v but_o ten_o and_o the_o exposition_n which_o our_o saviour_n make_v 6._o math._n 5._o &_o 6._o contain_v with_o in_o the_o compass_n of_o two_o chapter_n as_o he_o confess_v wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n either_o impossible_a or_o very_a difficult_a to_o learn_v and_o observe_v they_o with_o all_o their_o necessary_a branch_n and_o clause_n now_o to_o say_v that_o all_o duty_n of_o life_n appertain_v unto_o they_o be_v both_o false_a and_o not_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o first_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o the_o whole_a matter_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o be_v proper_a unto_o we_o christian_n by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o not_o common_a unto_o we_o with_o the_o jew_n be_v over_o and_o above_o the_o ten_o commandment_n i_o say_v also_o that_o the_o answer_n be_v impertinent_a for_o it_o proceed_v only_o in_o duty_n of_o life_n and_o we_o treat_v here_o of_o such_o point_n of_o perfection_n which_o no_o man_n in_o duty_n be_v press_v unto_o but_o only_o may_v follow_v of_o devotion_n for_o his_o advancement_n in_o virtue_n and_o god_n favour_n the_o other_o reason_n follow_v i_o have_v answer_v in_o my_o former_a part_n yet_o because_o some_o will_v be_v unwilling_a to_o be_v so_o often_o refer_v unto_o another_o volume_n i_o will_v here_o again_o brief_o answer_v they_o m._n perkins_n three_o reason_n 17._o lucae_n 17._o when_o we_o
