but_o as_o idolater_n be_v always_o seek_v a_o reason_n in_o man_n for_o the_o motive_n of_o god_n favour_n to_o he_o whereas_o when_o god_n give_v any_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o person_n he_o give_v it_o to_o yes_o say_v they_o he_o give_v abraham_n the_o promise_n of_o canaan_n for_o his_o faith_n so_o high_o approve_v of_o in_o scripture_n but_o who_o give_v abraham_n that_o faith_n they_o say_v he_o be_v so_o ingenuous_a as_o to_o believe_v upon_o god_n call_n ay_o but_o who_o give_v he_o that_o ingenuity_n if_o it_o be_v a_o good_a gift_n it_o come_v from_o above_o we_o must_v look_v upon_o all_o god_n after-gift_n as_o we_o do_v upon_o those_o which_o we_o first_o and_o original_o receive_v from_o he_o at_o our_o creation_n as_o proceed_v from_o no_o antecedent_n merit_v on_o our_o part_n that_o invite_v they_o god_n give_v no_o man_n beauty_n sharpness_n of_o wit_n or_o any_o other_o grace_n of_o body_n or_o mind_n for_o any_o antecedent_n grace_n that_o be_v in_o he_o it_o be_v as_o absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a to_o say_v that_o any_o one_o merit_v the_o preeminence_n and_o advantage_n he_o have_v above_o other_o as_o to_o say_v he_o can_v merit_v his_o be_v itself_o before_o he_o have_v one_o but_o as_o god_n goodness_n be_v the_o fountain_n so_o it_o be_v the_o sole_a motive_n of_o his_o endowment_n let_v no_o man_n go_v say_v this_o day_n among_o we_o that_o it_o be_v for_o his_o loyalty_n and_o adhere_v to_o the_o true_a religion_n when_o so_o many_o be_v schismatic_n and_o traitor_n that_o god_n let_v he_o behold_v the_o restoration_n of_o the_o king_n and_o church_n after_o their_o fatal_a ruin_n but_o for_o his_o own_o bounty_n sake_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o unsearchable_a wisdom_n for_o what_o can_v it_o profit_v any_o man_n to_o hold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n to_o be_v orthodox_n in_o profession_n as_o many_o boast_n themselves_o to_o be_v and_o ethnic_n in_o manner_n loyal_a to_o

the_o smallness_n of_o the_o return_v he_o require_v for_o all_o his_o immense_a favour_n it_o be_v only_o that_o they_o shall_v live_v according_a to_o his_o holy_a law_n a_o performance_n rather_o

manner_n of_o tenure_n of_o god_n favour_n be_v like_o our_o tenure_n in_o the_o church_n by_o frank_n alm_n who_o for_o many_o comfortable_a and_o too_o often_o envy_v endowment_n be_v oblige_v

merciful_a a_o return_n to_o israel_n be_v of_o itself_o a_o singular_a mercy_n but_o because_o this_o fall_n into_o my_o second_o general_n part_n why_o or_o for_o what_o end_n god_n give_v the_o land_n and_o labour_n of_o the_o heathen_a into_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o israelite_n i_o shall_v not_o prevent_v myself_o by_o enlarge_n on_o it_o before_o the_o time_n and_o he_o give_v they_o the_o land_n and_o labour_n of_o the_o heathen_a why_o that_o they_o may_v observe_v his_o statute_n and_o keep_v his_o law_n statute_n and_o law_n be_v much_o the_o same_o in_o sense_n and_o seem_v here_o to_o be_v but_o two_o name_n for_o one_o thing_n law_n be_v so_o call_v from_o their_o bind_a authority_n and_o statute_n from_o their_o be_v establish_v or_o decree_v likewise_o the_o observe_v the_o one_o and_o keep_v the_o other_o be_v but_o two_o expression_n again_o of_o the_o same_o duty_n for_o by_o keep_v the_o law_n be_v mean_v that_o man_n shall_v not_o witting_o violate_v they_o and_o by_o observe_v the_o statute_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o transgress_v they_o through_o ignorance_n or_o incogitancy_n as_o saint_n t_o paul_n say_v in_o a_o like_a case_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o give_v more_o earnest_a heed_n to_o the_o thing_n we_o have_v hear_v lest_o at_o any_o time_n we_o shall_v let_v they_o slip_v but_o what_o be_v the_o law_n and_o the_o statute_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o which_o god_n accumulate_v so_o many_o extraordinary_a benefit_n on_o israel_n the_o jew_n have_v three_o sort_n of_o law_n judicial_a which_o relate_v to_o their_o civil_a

three_o the_o moral_a law_n contain_v in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n the_o two_o former_a sort_n though_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o same_o divine_a wisdom_n and_o be_v establish_v by_o the_o same_o divine_a authority_n as_o the_o last_o yet_o their_o deduction_n be_v so_o remote_a from_o their_o principle_n like_o the_o branch_n or_o twig_n of_o a_o tree_n from_o the_o root_n and_o their_o reason_n and_o equity_n not_o so_o discernible_a they_o be_v enjoy_v only_o as_o the_o rudiment_n or_o element_n of_o a_o science_n not_o so_o much_o for_o themselves_o as_o for_o a_o further_a end_n and_o as_o such_o rudiment_n or_o element_n be_v lay_v aside_o when_o once_o the_o science_n itself_o be_v attain_v so_o the_o judicial_a and_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v lay_v aside_o

and_o therefore_o though_o god_n do_v require_v at_o the_o present_a that_o all_o his_o law_n and_o commandment_n of_o what_o kind_a soever_o shall_v be_v keep_v and_o observe_v yet_o it_o be_v the_o
