difference_n the_o rest_n as_o he_o say_v arise_v viz._n from_o the_o first_o arise_v the_o three_o the_o four_o and_o the_o five_o the_o three_o be_v this_o that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v give_v to_o one_o nation_n the_o law_n of_o 3_o christ_n to_o all_o nation_n the_o four_o that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n for_o the_o most_o 4_o part_n contain_v shadow_n and_o figure_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v the_o gospel_n exhibit_v the_o body_n and_o truth_n the_o five_o that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n because_o it_o be_v not_o perfect_a be_v to_o be_v change_v by_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n but_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n be_v 5_o not_o to_o be_v change_v by_o any_o succeed_a law_n these_o three_o difference_n of_o the_o law_n do_v not_o agree_v to_o the_o law_n moral_a which_o belong_v to_o all_o nation_n which_o do_v not_o consist_v of_o shadow_n and_o figure_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v change_v no_o not_o by_o addition_n because_o it_o be_v and_o be_v a_o perfect_a immutable_a and_o perpetual_a rule_n of_o righteousness_n the_o other_o three_o viz._n the_o six_o seven_o and_o eigth_n arise_v as_o he_o say_v from_o the_o second_o the_o six_o that_o the_o law_n of_o 6_o moses_n have_v no_o power_n to_o justify_v neither_o be_v it_o give_v that_o it_o may_v justify_v but_o that_o it_o may_v show_v the_o disease_n and_o stir_v up_o man_n to_o seek_v the_o physician_n but_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o gospel_n have_v power_n to_o justify_v and_o be_v give_v to_o that_o end_n for_o as_o he_o allege_v out_o of_o rom._n 1._o 16._o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n to_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o work_v for_o therein_o be_v reveal_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n from_o faith_n to_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v write_v the_o just_a man_n shall_v live_v by_o faith_n this_o be_v a_o true_a difference_n of_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n from_o the_o law_n of_o work_n but_o agree_v not_o to_o bellarmine_n new_a law_n which_o be_v a_o law_n of_o work_n as_o well_o as_o the_o old_a contain_v the_o very_a same_o moral_a precept_n with_o the_o moral_a law_n in_o 7_o the_o observation_n whereof_o not_o our_o justification_n but_o our_o sanctification_n consist_v prescribe_v also_o the_o same_o righteousness_n viz_o charity_n which_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o law_n the_o seven_o that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v a_o law_n of_o fearfulness_n and_o bondage_n but_o the_o gospel_n the_o law_n of_o love_n and_o of_o liberty_n which_o be_v true_a for_o the_o obedience_n of_o

grace_n that_o be_v of_o man_n justify_v be_v voluntary_a and_o cheerful_a proceed_n from_o faith_n and_o from_o some_o measure_n of_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n and_o favour_n to_o they_o in_o christ._n therefore_o this_o voluntary_a obedience_n be_v no_o cause_n but_o a_o consequent_a of_o justification_n not_o only_o before_o god_n but_o also_o in_o the_o court_n of_o our_o own_o
