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 to_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 ephes_n 6.1_o 2_o 3_o etc._n etc._n it_o be_v a_o honour_n to_o jesus_n 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 renew_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 ezek._n 36.27_o i_o will_v put_v my_o spirit_n within_o you_o and_o cause_v you_o to_o walk_v in_o my_o statute_n and_o you_o shall_v keep_v my_o judgement_n and_o do_v they_o and_o again_o i_o will_v put_v my_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o write_v it_o in_o their_o inward_a part_n 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 his_o law_n 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 jesus_n 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 say_v 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 to_o obedience_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 and_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 then_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 two_o 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 the_o law_n now_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n can_v not_o bring_v they_o under_o god_n displeasure_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_o 2_o 3._o etc._n etc._n there_o be_v no_o soundness_n in_o my_o flesh_n because_o of_o thy_o anger_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o rest_n in_o my_o bone_n because_o of_o my_o sin_n and_o many_o complaint_n of_o like_a nature_n do_v he_o there_o make_v 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 the_o assurance_n of_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 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

only_a son_n from_o i_o thus_o the_o lord_n bear_v witness_v to_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

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 saul_n and_o deliver_v he_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o saul_n who_o the_o lord_n have_v now_o

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
