of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o gospel_n where_o he_o recite_v short_o the_o sum_n of_o god_n commandment_n do_v say_v the_o first_o of_o all_o the_o commandment_n be_v hear_v oh_o israel_n the_o lord_n laâ—â—_n our_o god_n be_v one_o lord_n and_o thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o mind_n and_o with_o

great_a than_o these_o therefore_o to_o this_o do_v also_o appertain_v that_o say_v of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v charity_n out_o of_o a_o pure_a heart_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o faith_n unfeigned_a but_o since_o the_o law_n do_v require_v at_o all_o our_o hand_n most_o absolute_a righteousness_n charity_n and_o a_o pure_a heart_n it_o do_v condemn_v all_o man_n of_o sin_n unrighteousness_n and_o death_n for_o in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n it_o be_v express_o say_v curse_a be_v every_o one_o which_o abide_v not_o in_o all_o that_o be_v

or_o by_o the_o betray_n of_o the_o law_n reveal_v in_o mankind_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v to_o this_o where_o i_o pray_v you_o do_v there_o appear_v in_o any_o man_n that_o divine_a and_o most_o

if_o he_o be_v compare_v to_o god_n if_o he_o will_v argue_v with_o he_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o answer_v one_o for_o a_o thousand_o if_o i_o have_v any_o righteousness_n in_o i_o i_o will_v not_o answer_v he_o but_o i_o will_v beseech_v my_o judge_n like_o to_o these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n john_n who_o say_v if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v our_o self_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o us._n again_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v not_o sin_v we_o make_v he_o a_o liar_n and_o his_o word_n be_v not_o in_o us._n therefore_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o law_n be_v a_o certain_a look_a glass_n wherein_o light_n we_o behold_v our_o own_o corruption_n frailness_n imbecility_n imperfection_n &_o our_o judgement_n that_o be_v our_o just_a and_o deserve_a damnation_n for_o the_o apostle_n do_v express_o say_v that_o the_o law_n be_v give_v to_o the_o end_n that_o it_o may_v make_v manifest_a man_n transgression_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n drive_v they_o to_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o their_o imperfection_n and_o guilt_n in_o sin_v for_o none_o of_o we_o do_v look_v into_o his_o own_o bosom_n nor_o into_o the_o secret_n of_o his_o

therefore_o do_v the_o law_n creep_v in_o and_o lay_v open_a the_o secret_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o bring_v to_o light_n our_o sin_n and_o corruption_n before_o the_o law_n say_v the_o apostle_n although_o sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o impute_v the_o same_o apostle_n also_o say_v the_o law_n work_v wrath_n for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o

by_o the_o law_n for_o i_o have_v not_o know_v lust_n except_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o lust_n but_o sin_n take_v occasion_n by_o the_o commandment_n wrought_v in_o i_o all_o manner_n of_o concupiscence_n for_o without_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v dead_a i_o once_o live_v without_o law_n but_o when_o the_o commandment_n come_v sin_n revive_v and_o i_o be_v dead_a and_o it_o

in_o that_o matter_n therefore_o the_o proper_a office_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o principal_a use_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o show_v to_o man_n his_o sin_n and_o imperfection_n as_o

any_o where_o else_o but_o in_o christ_n alone_o wherefore_o the_o law_n do_v lead_v we_o by_o faith_n direct_o unto_o christ_n and_o yet_o more_o plain_o he_o say_v the_o law_n be_v our_o

it_o be_v open_o like_a unto_o the_o gospel_n and_o take_v to_o itself_o the_o office_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o no_o marvel_n since_o to_o many_o man_n through_o their_o own_o fault_n the_o gospel_n do_v become_v and_o be_v make_v the_o letter_n furthermore_o the_o same_o apostle_n do_v in_o a_o other_o place_n say_v that_o in_o sacrifice_n they_o call_v their_o sin_n to_o remembrance_n &_o we_o know_v that_o in_o they_o be_v prefigure_v the_o purge_n of_o sin_n therefore_o even_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n also_o lead_v they_o to_o christ_n testify_v &_o teach_v they_o that_o he_o alone_o do_v cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o our_o sin_n whereupon_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o office_n of_o moses_n and_o of_o the_o law_n both_o be_v &_o be_v to_o open_v to_o we_o our_o sin_n &_o judgement_n &_o yet_o not_o to_o condemn_v we_o only_o but_o also_o by_o occasion_n to_o lead_v we_o to_o christ_n by_o which_o we_o learn_v also_o that_o the_o law_n do_v not_o only_o teach_v we_o the_o first_o riâ—â—tâ—ousâ—â—se_n principle_n and_o rudiment_n of_o righteousness_n but_o the_o very_a true_a &_o absolute_a righteousness_n for_o moses_n do_v express_o say_v that_o he_o teach_v a_o most_o

to_o christ_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n now_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o most_o perfect_a righteousness_n therefore_o where_o world_n as_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n be_v in_o some_o place_n call_v the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v for_o two_o especial_a cause_n the_o first_o whereof_o be_v because_o the_o law_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o
