their_o name_n to_o christ_n must_v not_o think_v that_o upon_o that_o account_n they_o have_v liberty_n more_o than_o other_o man_n to_o do_v what_o they_o will_v or_o that_o they_o may_v sin_v the_o more_o free_o because_o grace_n abound_v there_o be_v a_o yoke_n to_o which_o they_o must_v submit_v and_o law_n to_o the_o fulfil_n of_o which_o they_o stand_v oblige_v if_o you_o love_v i_o 14.15_o

and_o sincerity_n of_o that_o reliance_n we_o examplifie_v and_o adorn_v that_o faith_n by_o a_o conscientious_a and_o unblameable_a conversation_n whatever_o our_o faith_n entitle_v we_o to_o hope_v for_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o condition_n that_o if_o we_o have_v right_a to_o the_o precious_a promise_n we_o must_v cleanse_v ourselves_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n and_o perfect_a holiness_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n 4._o 2_o pet._n 1.3_o 4._o and_o st._n peter_n call_v the_o gospel_n the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o who_o have_v call_v we_o to_o glory_n whereby_o say_v

through_o lust_n and_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o observe_v that_o the_o main_a thing_n our_o saviour_n aim_v at_o all_o his_o whole_a life_n be_v to_o restore_v humane_a nature_n to_o its_o primitive_a purity_n and_o perfection_n and_o to_o advance_v true_a piety_n and_o holiness_n in_o the_o world_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o a_o good_a opinion_n of_o and_o a_o ready_a compliance_n with_o god_n law_n so_o that_o it_o influence_n all_o their_o action_n faith_n not_o being_n enough_o to_o denominate_v a_o man_n a_o true_a christian_a unless_o he_o go_v on_o to_o add_v to_o his_o faith_n virtue_n to_o his_o virtue_n knowledge_n etc._n etc._n religion_n not_o be_v such_o a_o empty_a name_n as_o to_o consist_v in_o fair_a shadow_n only_o in_o thinkink_v well_o or_o talk_v grave_o in_o all_o the_o outward_a performance_n imaginable_a unless_o our_o action_n be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o same_o unless_o we_o practise_v what_o we_o profess_v and_o be_v doer_n of_o what_o we_o read_v and_o hear_v i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v as_o if_o i_o think_v faith_n signify_v nothing_o so_o that_o a_o man_n be_v a_o honest_a good_a moral_a man_n it_o will_v be_v enough_o and_o he_o shall_v be_v happy_a in_o the_o end_n though_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v aright_o and_o as_o he_o ought_v and_o have_v little_a or_o no_o regard_n to_o the_o revelation_n of_o god_n will_n in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n the_o subject_a of_o our_o faith_n as_o some_o have_v improve_v the_o seem_a difference_n between_o st._n paul_n and_o st._n james_n which_o i_o will_v not_o now_o meddle_v withal_o only_o assert_v that_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v the_o main_a condition_n of_o all_o our_o hope_n from_o the_o gospel-covenant_n the_o the_o scripture_n be_v express_a 2.6_o joh._n 6.40.13.15_o act._n 10.43_o joh._n 12.46_o 1_o pet._n 2.6_o as_o whoso_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v have_v everlasting_a life_n he_o shall_v not_o perish_v he_o shall_v have_v remission_n of_o sin_n he_o shall_v not_o abide_v in_o darkness_n and_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n to_o every_o one_o that_o do_v believe_v so_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o principal_a ground_n on_o which_o our_o hope_n of_o salvation_n be_v found_v but_o withal_o i_o further_o add_v that_o this_o faith_n to_o make_v it_o true_o save_v must_v be_v always_o accompany_v with_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n with_o a_o sincere_a obedience_n to_o god_n command_n and_o a_o conscientious_a discharge_n of_o our_o respective_a duty_n for_o as_o he_o deceive_v himself_o that_o hope_n to_o enter_v into_o life_n who_o do_v not_o believe_v as_o he_o shall_v and_o ought_v so_o be_v they_o in_o no_o less_o danger_n who_o believe_v aright_o but_o live_v not_o according_a to_o it_o will_v any_o one_o not_o deceive_v himself_o he_o must_v join_v both_o together_o show_v his_o faith_n by_o his_o work_n and_o then_o with_o reason_n may_v he_o hope_v to_o be_v happy_a ii_o the_o second_o thing_n i_o observe_v from_o these_o word_n be_v that_o the_o practice_n of_o good_a work_n take_v either_o for_o piety_n towards_o god_n or_o charity_n towards_o man_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o all_o unto_o salvation_n when_o i_o lie_v down_o this_o position_n i_o will_v not_o be_v think_v as_o if_o we_o believe_v our_o work_n meritorious_a or_o that_o they_o will_v commute_v for_o our_o sin_n yet_o i_o say_v the_o obligation_n to_o they_o be_v indispensible_a and_o as_o requisite_a as_o any_o other_o part_n of_o our_o christian_n duty_n it_o be_v acknowledge_v and_o grant_v to_o be_v true_a that_o we_o can_v by_o the_o best_a we_o can_v do_v deserve_v happiness_n and_o the_o promise_a reward_n for_o they_o yet_o they_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v perform_v by_o all_o the_o branch_n of_o necessity_n imaginable_a whether_o of_o precept_n and_o duty_n or_o as_o the_o way_n and_o means_n that_o without_o the_o practice_n of_o which_o none_o can_v be_v
