wise give the creature the least glory but spoiles him and makes his comelinesse become rottennesse proclaiming the rest of the Lord as Isa 30.15 burning up all their pride and consuming all their honour Mal. 4.1 Declaring their righteousnesse to be the greatest wickednesse such a one unlesse the Lord in grace open the mystery which neither learned nor unlearned can reade or understand Isa 29.11 12. They look upon such a person as a pestilent mischievous person as an imposter and deceiver as an Hereticke yea a Libertine and what not so deare and precious is their own excellency and so fast and strong a league is there between the Law and themselves and therefore did the Scribes and Pharisees so storm and rage against Christ Jesus when he declared that Publicans and Harlots should inherite the Kingdome of heaven before them nothing filled them with malignity so as did the cleare doctrine of the Gospel which did trample down vilifie and count as drosse and dung their righteousnesse and no greater denyall hath the Gospell at any time then from such persons who have the greatest possessions of this nature so that to make men become dead to this their Crowne and glory it must needs be by a supernaturall heavenly and divine power comming into the soule presenting a surpassing glory even the righteousnesse of Jesus Christ the shining forth whereof causeth repentance from such dead workes as it is written Hee that beleeveth hath ceased from his own workes Heb. brings a man with Elisha from his plough draws out the soul in hungring thirsting after the fatness of Gods house breathing after the person of Christ the fairest of ten thousands even as the Hart panteth after the Rivers of water causeth him then with Paul to count all but drosse dung which was before of so high esteeme Phil. 3.7 and that that was his glory becomes his shame and he seeth it then to be as a menstruous cloth and filthy rags Zach. 3.4 This cannot be effected but by the mighty power of God which raised Christ from the dead as Ephes 1.19 20. Col. 2.12 13. The which power that raised him from the grave can cause things to be that were not and dead things to live so giving eyes to the blind eares to the deafe that they may see and heare those things which the eye of man hath not seene neither the eare of man heard as 1 Cor. 2.9 10. and to this agrees that testimony in Galat. 5.16 If you walke in the Spirit ye shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh The which amongst the rest are the workes of the Law Phil. 3.3 The Apostle saith We rejoyce in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh and then manisests what he meanes by the flesh and amongst the rest he brings in vers 6. The righteousnesse of the Law as a fleshly thing or the work of the flesh and therefore in that foresaid place Cal. 5. v. 18. having spoken those foregoing words vers 16. he interprets what he meanes by the flesh for saith he if ye be led by the Spirit you are not under the Law so that to take a man off from the Law or to make him to be dead unto it must needs be by the commings in of the Spirit of God that must exercise power parting relations though never so neare and deare revealing a surpassing more excellent glory and so transforming from glory to glory as 2. Cor. 3. c So that it most plainly appeares in that the Apostle saith You are become dead to the Law by the body of Christ That all his spirituall power is communicated to the sonnes of glory through the Sacrifice of the body of Christ and to this largely answer many places of Scripture with a joynt harmony as Rom. 6.6 Our old man is crucified with Christ whereby the Spirit of God commends to us that in the crucifying of Christ all his body or Spouse was crucified also That in the sacrificing of himselfe there was a prevailing with God that the old Adam might be destroyed in his people that they might live in him he gave himselfe that he might procure to himselfe a peculiar people zealous of good worth to be a peculiar people is to bee differenced from the world bearing the Image of Christ being heavenly as is the Lord from heaven neither can any be zealous of good workes tell they know what is the good and acceptable will of God which no naturall man can know now all this Christ gave himselfe for so againe 1 Pet. 1.18 There it is manifested that the redemption from the vain conversation comes by the blood of Christ for the vain conversation cannot be taken away but by the mighty operation of the Spirit of God destroying the body of sin as Rom. 8.13 Even this also is imparted through the blood of Christ so also Heb. 9.15 How much more shall the blood of Christ purge your Conscience from dead workes to serve the living God to purge from dead workes must needs be by the breathing in the Spirit of Life wich produceth living workes from the creature to a living Creator till then all workes are but dead workes though performed with abundant zeale and strength the person himselfe being dead from whom they proceed this also comes by the blood of Christ so perfecting of the faith is through it also communicated Heb. 13.20 21. Yea all that grace which is so full of life and power to the Saints comes by Jesus Christ John 1.17 16.14 verses The which grace of the Lord Jesus Christ the Apostle still in all his Epistles sayes that the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ may be with them all 2 Thess 3.17 18. To this end if we consider the nature of Redemption what it commends unto us and then how it is brought about we shall see the same cleared up that all spirituall strength is communicated in by and through Jesus Christ in Isa 35.9 Isa 51.11 Psal 107.2 Rev. 14.3 All which places doe lively set forth that as there is but a number redeemed some being uncleane some ravenous beasts some the earth which are not redeemed so also that all these redeemed either are or shall be able to sing to give thankes to God and to the Lambe that sitteth on the Throne for evermore and only the redeemed shall learne this new song Rev. 14.3 And walk in the way of holinesse which none can doe till made alive in Jesus Christ for a dead thing can doe none of these things as all men by nature being but as a rotten carkasse in respect of spirituall services with which we have to doe and of which only the Lord accounts as 1 Pet. 2.5 John 4.24 2 Cor. 3.17 All the services of naturall men being but fleshly uncleane and dead services though accompanied with never so much zeale but this redemption that is accompanied with this everlasting power comes only by the blood of Christ Ephes 1.7 Col.
alludes unto be taken up according to the former onely that his allusion in the second and third Verses cannot be so proper For so long as a man liveth the Law is his Lord that is till he become dead to himselfe and live in another as it was with the Apostle himselfe and is with all beleeving Saints according to that Gal. 2.20 I live yet not I but Christ liveth in me and the life that I live is by the Faith of the Sonne of God even till this new life be breathed in the Law exerciseth dominion over a man but when hee no longer lives Christ is his life as Col. 3.4 Ioh. 11.25 1 Ioh. 5.12 then the Law cannot have dominion over him for now he is a new creature and walkes in newnesse of life 2 Cor. 5.17 Esay 43.19 Rev. 21.5 and therefore the Law which is the Lord the Husband the Rule the Line for the old Man the Naturall Man the Carnall Man cannot have to doe with him it being not answerable to that new creature that is of such a heavenly divine Spirituall and Evangelicall being and is above the Law as much as heaven is above the earth yea the new Adam above the old 1 Cor. 15.47 48. For as is the heavenly so are they that are heavenly and therefore they cannot have union with the Law or it have dominion over them they being highly advanced above Dominions Principalities and Powers sitting with Christ in heavenly places Ephe. 2.6 Rev. 12.5 and therefore saith the Church Other Lords have had dominion over us but now are they dead unto us and we are called by thy Name So that the force of the Apostles Argument must needs lie here that if it be so that these Romanes are dead to the Law that their old man is crucified Gal. 2.19 that they are ingrafted into the new and true Olive Rom. 11.17 that they are made alive in Christ so as that now he is become their Lord their Husband Psal 45.11 2 Cor. 11.2 3. then the Law cannot exercise authoritie or Lordship over them So that the matter the Apostle here drives at stands good the word being lively taken up but we shall finde this interrupts the Apostles method of expressing himselfe for he in this first verse sets forth the Law as having a dominion belonging to it where it is in force in the next verse that he may illustrate his minde he compares it to the husband who is the party to whom dominion belongs and the wife the party in subiection then to set forth to these beleeving Romanes their feedome from the Law he argues the case thus that if the husband be dead then the wife shee is no longer held under his power but is delivered from the law of the man that was her husband so also the Law being dead which is the husband the Lord over the earthly and naturall man then are such to whom it is become thus dead free from the power or soveraignty thereof therefore in the 6. Ver. of the 7. to the Romanes he saith thus But now wee are delivered from the Law that being dead wherein we were held meaning the Law being dead so also 2 Cor. 3.7.11 and Gal. 4.24 30. verses so Heb. 10.9 where he shewes the taking away the Law which is abolished In respect of ministration towards all that the Gospel the glad tidings the righteousnesse of Faith not the Law the killing letter the righteousnesse of man is to be preached to all people and to all persons and not onely so but to be abolished in respect of its power and dominion over the body and Spouse of Christ so that such as live and move in the Law they are none of his none of the childten of promise they are but Ishmaels sonnes of the bond woman and shall not be heires with the sonnes of the free woman as Gal. 4.30 and Gen. 21.10 and then also the husband being dead to the wife that hee carmot direct injoyne or command her even the wife also is as dead to such a husband as not in any wise to stand under his power and so the case stands betweene the Law and the beleever that it being dead to him he also becomes dead to it that whensoever it speakes it is as the voice of a stranger which he will not heare John 10.5 though it came in never so smooth a language and with words as soft as butter to draw him from his Virgin and upright affection Cant. 1.2 c. and therefore doth the Apostle change his voyce in that manner one while he saith the Law is become dead to the beleever another while that the beleever is dead to it for the mighty power that workes the death of the Law to the man must needs worke the death of the man to it and therefore in the 4. verse the Apostle saith So you are become dead to the Law Then having by cleare and strong consequence shewed their freedome from servitude or bondage he falls upon a discovery how this freedome is brought about which hee saith is by the body of Christ for no other way is there benefit arising to any The first thing I shall minde is that it must needs be by a mighty working of the power and Spirit of God that his death to the Law must be wrought Man as he lies in himselfe spends and layes out his strength and all his endeavours in obedience to the Law working out a right eousnesse to commend himselfe before God and to raise a relation of being a Son and a Servant to him Thus Paul prest after a righteousnesse being under the Law as himselfe testifies Galat. 1.14 Acts 9.1 Phil. 3.6 And was blamelesse concerning the Law had a hot zeale but not according to knowledge till it pleased the Lord to open his eyes and reveale his Son Christ Jesus to him and to shew him the fellowship of the Mystery of his glorious Gospell which no man naturally can ever see or discerne John 3.5 vers 31. 1 Cor. 2.14 This the Jews were so zealous after seeking to establish their own righteousnesse Rom. 10.2 3. And this many sons of Hagar who have high thoughts of their being beleevers and beloved ones in the sight of God doe rise early and lie downe late eating the bread of carefulnesse must present faire Jewels to this Calfe and their Children even the fruit vigor and strength of their Soules to this Molech it is their glory their riches yea their life for take away their righteousnesse then goes all their hope all their comfort therefore skin for skin and all they have will they give for this So that such as bring them the doctrine of the Law they are the soundest Ministers and the wellcommest to them as Christ saith If one come in his owne name him ye will receive but he that shall come forth with the message of the most High even in the Gospell of Jesus Chrift which will in no
