of_o the_o sixth_o commandment_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v look_v on_o a_o woman_n to_o lust_n after_o she_o have_v commit_v adultery_n with_o she_o already_o in_o his_o heart_n and_o break_v the_o seven_o commandment_n thus_o christ_n have_v as_o it_o be_v revive_v moses_n but_o as_o the_o law_n give_v by_o christ_n be_v not_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o a_o commandment_n of_o well-doing_n and_o he_o have_v give_v it_o we_o take_v ourselves_o bind_v to_o be_v subject_a unto_o it_o the_o apostle_n also_o press_v the_o moral_a law_n upon_o several_a relation_n of_o man_n eph._n 6.1,2,3_o etc._n etc._n it_o be_v a_o honour_n to_o christ_n that_o his_o servant_n shall_v be_v holy_a as_o he_o be_v holy_a it_o be_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o he_o require_v it_o the_o apostle_n james_n press_v it_o chap._n 2.8_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n if_o you_o fulfil_v the_o royal_a law_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o you_o do_v well_o and_o again_o whosoever_o shall_v keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o yet_o offend_v in_o one_o point_n he_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o apostle_n of_o jesus_n christ_n put_v it_o upon_o christian_n to_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n himself_o bear_v witness_v to_o the_o law_n for_o god_n will_v never_o justify_v sin_n to_o be_v no_o sin_n though_o he_o will_v justify_v the_o person_n of_o a_o sinner_n now_o as_o the_o lord_n jesus_n give_v the_o law_n and_o as_o it_o be_v renu_v it_o so_o he_o do_v also_o give_v his_o spirit_n unto_o his_o servant_n enable_v they_o to_o keep_v it_o jer._n 31.33_o and_o ezek._n 36.27_o now_o this_o law_n will_v he_o not_o write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n nor_o give_v unto_o they_o his_o holy_a spirit_n enable_v they_o to_o keep_v it_o be_v it_o not_o his_o will_n in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v the_o rule_n of_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n unto_o his_o people_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n though_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o take_v themselves_o to_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o it_o for_o if_o christ_n have_v give_v the_o law_n as_o well_o as_o moses_n and_o if_o he_o have_v ratify_v it_o by_o give_v they_o his_o spirit_n to_o teach_v and_o strengthen_v they_o to_o keep_v it_o though_o not_o perfect_o yet_o sincere_o than_o they_o take_v themselves_o bind_v to_o obey_v the_o law_n though_o they_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n for_o 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 the_o law_n for_o what_o need_n have_v christian_n of_o free_a justification_n by_o christ_n if_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v unto_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n by_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o free_a justification_n of_o man_n under_o a_o free_a covenant_n of_o grace_n do_v establish_v the_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n otherwise_o what_o need_v they_o run_v to_o christ_n to_o save_v they_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n why_o do_v we_o still_o run_v to_o christ_n for_o the_o continuance_n of_o our_o justification_n but_o that_o we_o find_v ourselves_o ungodly_a creature_n against_o the_o righteous_a and_o holy_a law_n of_o god_n therefore_o if_o god_n have_v give_v man_n the_o law_n &_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o strengthen_v they_o in_o the_o obedience_n of_o it_o and_o his_o grace_n to_o save_v they_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o it_o than_o christian_n be_v to_o know_v that_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n they_o lie_v under_o the_o authority_n of_o it_o and_o dare_v not_o pluck_v their_o neck_n from_o under_o that_o yoke_n now_o there_o be_v divers_a effect_n spring_v from_o the_o subjection_n of_o god_n people_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n 1_o as_o they_o take_v themselves_o bind_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o it_o so_o they_o believe_v and_o many_o time_n feel_v the_o fatherly_a displeasure_n of_o god_n when_o they_o transgress_v it_o now_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n can_v not_o bring_v they_o under_o the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n unless_o they_o be_v bind_v unto_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n this_o displeasure_n david_n be_v sensible_a of_o psal_n 38.1,2,3_o etc._n etc._n where_o he_o make_v many_o complaint_n which_o do_v all_o of_o they_o spring_n from_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o disobedience_n of_o the_o law_n which_o god_n have_v frame_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o servant_n whereby_o they_o reflect_v upon_o their_o sin_n as_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o distemper_n which_o lie_v upon_o their_o body_n or_o mind_n this_o be_v the_o first_o effect_n of_o the_o subjection_n of_o god_n people_n to_o his_o law_n they_o lie_v under_o the_o faith_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o disobedience_n of_o it_o 2_o they_o be_v under_o the_o faith_n and_o sense_n also_o of_o god_n gracious_a acceptance_n of_o their_o way_n when_o they_o be_v suitable_a to_o the_o bless_a direction_n of_o his_o word_n not_o that_o they_o can_v raise_v therefrom_o their_o justify_v estate_n but_o by_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o god_n whereby_o they_o be_v help_v to_o obey_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n they_o do_v see_v the_o lord_n gracious_a approbation_n of_o they_o in_o their_o poor_a and_o weak_a endeavour_n for_o the_o lord_n know_v the_o way_n of_o the_o righteous_a that_o be_v acknowledge_v and_o approve_v it_o psal_n 1.6_o when_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o spirit_n bow_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n unto_o obedience_n than_o he_o know_v and_o accept_v their_o obedience_n gen._n 22.12_o thus_o the_o lord_n bear_v witness_v unto_o his_o servant_n that_o he_o do_v accept_v their_o work_n so_o that_o they_o sensible_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v acknowledge_v their_o poor_a and_o weak_a endeavour_n unto_o which_o they_o be_v carry_v forth_o by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o word_n this_o the_o prophet_n david_n confirm_v psal_n 18.20_o to_o 26._o where_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o righteous_a deal_n with_o saul_n and_o whereas_o his_o enemy_n lay_v it_o to_o his_o charge_n that_o he_o be_v a_o enemy_n unto_o saul_n the_o lord_n bear_v he_o witness_v that_o he_o have_v walk_v towards_o saul_n with_o a_o good_a conscience_n now_o the_o lord_n have_v lead_v he_o a_o end_n to_o deal_v just_o and_o righteous_o and_o pure_o with_o saul_n have_v keep_v he_o from_o all_o the_o malice_n and_o outrage_n of_o saul_n and_o maintain_v his_o cause_n against_o he_o and_o deliver_v he_o out_o of_o his_o hand_n who_o the_o lord_n have_v now_o reject_v herein_o the_o prophet_n see_v the_o lord_n accept_v he_o when_o in_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n he_o be_v help_v to_o attend_v unto_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n this_o be_v commfortable_a unto_o a_o christian_a spirit_n when_o the_o lord_n bear_v witness_v unto_o his_o soul_n that_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o all_o this_o argue_v that_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n in_o jesus_n christ_n have_v look_v at_o themselves_o as_o bind_v by_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n and_o as_o be_v under_o the_o law_n to_o christ_n who_o have_v give_v the_o law_n and_o power_n unto_o his_o servant_n sincere_o to_o keep_v it_o both_o by_o write_v in_o their_o heart_n a_o law_n of_o obedience_n and_o by_o put_v his_o holy_a spirit_n within_o they_o for_o if_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v not_o sensible_a of_o their_o bind_a duty_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n they_o will_v neither_o have_v faith_n nor_o sense_n of_o god_n fatherly_a displeasure_n when_o they_o negligent_o break_v these_o law_n neither_o will_v they_o be_v sensible_a of_o god_n acceptance_n of_o their_o
