the_o next_o place_n inquire_v what_o the_o gospel_n have_v add_v to_o the_o law_n and_o prophet_n wherein_o it_o have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o they_o and_o here_o 1._o i_o observe_v first_o that_o though_o our_o saviour_n have_v require_v no_o new_a virtue_n which_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n do_v not_o before_o enjoin_v yet_o he_o have_v enjoin_v we_o some_o new_a instance_n which_o under_o the_o law_n be_v leave_v free_a we_o have_v one_o in_o that_o sermon_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o which_o i_o have_v so_o often_o refer_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v begin_v with_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 5._o chapter_n of_o s._n matthew_n and_o the_o 31._o verse_n where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o have_v be_v say_v whosoever_o shall_v put_v away_o his_o wife_n let_v he_o give_v she_o a_o write_n of_o divorcement_n but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o whosoever_o shall_v put_v away_o his_o wife_n save_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o fornication_n cause_v she_o to_o commit_v adultery_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v marry_v she_o that_o be_v divorce_v commit_v adultery_n wherewith_o agree_v that_o of_o the_o same_o jesus_n mat._n 19.8_o 9_o where_o when_o the_o pharisee_n demand_v of_o he_o why_o if_o god_n have_v make_v the_o bond_n so_o close_o between_o man_n and_o wife_n at_o the_o first_o as_o he_o have_v then_o affirm_v moses_n do_v command_v to_o give_v a_o writing_n of_o divorcement_n and_o to_o put_v she_o away_o his_o answer_n be_v that_o moses_n for_o the_o hardness_n of_o their_o heart_n suffer_v they_o to_o put_v away_o their_o wife_n but_o from_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o neither_o shall_v be_v from_o that_o time_n forward_o for_o whosoever_o shall_v put_v away_o his_o wife_n except_o it_o be_v for_o fornication_n and_o shall_v marry_v another_o commit_v adultery_n and_o whoso_o marry_v she_o which_o be_v put_v away_o commit_v adultery_n from_o which_o passage_n compare_v together_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o moses_n permit_v divorce_n for_o lesser_a cause_n than_o fornication_n but_o that_o christ_n will_v not_o allow_v of_o any_o upon_o a_o low_a cause_n but_o not_o to_o insist_v upon_o this_o because_o there_o be_v some_o ground_n to_o believe_v that_o moses_n his_o permission_n of_o divorce_n be_v rather_o such_o as_o free_v they_o from_o punishment_n in_o this_o world_n than_o from_o guilt_n before_o god_n inasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v only_o say_v that_o moses_n suffer_v they_o so_o to_o do_v because_o of_o the_o hardness_n of_o their_o heart_n though_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o may_v seem_v strange_a that_o god_n shall_v give_v so_o uncontrolled_a a_o permission_n to_o that_o which_o he_o himself_o then_o hold_v as_o sinful_a and_o treasure_v up_o against_o they_o against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n but_o not_o i_o say_v however_o to_o insist_v upon_o that_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o the_o matter_n of_o polygamy_n or_o the_o have_v of_o more_o wife_n than_o one_o which_o it_o be_v certain_a the_o jew_n be_v not_o only_o permit_v but_o so_o far_o dispense_v withal_o also_o that_o they_o may_v do_v it_o without_o the_o imputation_n of_o a_o sin_n the_o scripture_n reckon_v multitude_n of_o wife_n to_o david_n as_o a_o blessing_n and_o a_o gift_n of_o god_n even_o to_o that_o david_n who_o be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n 2_o sam._n 12.8_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o be_v under_o the_o law_n even_o with_o the_o allowance_n of_o god_n himself_o but_o christ_n have_v now_o determine_v otherwise_o as_o be_v manifest_a to_o go_v no_o far_o from_o that_o forequoted_a text_n of_o s._n matthew_n c._n 19.9_o where_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o that_o whosoever_o shall_v put_v away_o his_o wife_n except_o it_o be_v for_o fornication_n and_o shall_v marry_v another_o commit_v adultery_n for_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o have_v more_o wife_n than_o one_o his_o marry_v another_o can_v not_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o a_o sin_n and_o much_o less_o for_o adultery_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o text_n now_o quote_v let_v it_o remain_v therefore_o for_o a_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o though_o our_o saviour_n have_v require_v no_o now_o

will_v have_v justify_v our_o saviour_n assertion_n he_o have_v also_o exact_v those_o virtue_n in_o a_o great_a latitude_n than_o they_o will_v be_v find_v to_o have_v be_v under_o the_o law_n for_o the_o evidence_n whereof_o i_o will_v instance_n in_o the_o love_n of_o enemy_n as_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o eminent_a virtue_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o here_o not_o to_o content_v myself_o

for_o the_o solution_n of_o which_o difficulty_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o shall_v offer_v be_v those_o clear_a and_o express_v word_n of_o our_o saviour_n luke_n 12.5_o where_o have_v before_o

unto_o you_o fear_v he_o which_o testimony_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o considerable_a not_o only_o because_o he_o do_v twice_o repeat_v it_o but_o which_o show_v yet_o far_o the_o importance_n of_o his_o exhortation_n who_o he_o do_v so_o exhort_v call_v also_o by_o the_o name_n of_o friend_n for_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o my_o friend_n be_v not_o afraid_a of_o they_o that_o kill_v the_o

but_o for_o those_o who_o be_v most_o intimate_o unite_v unto_o himself_o but_o so_o that_o i_o may_v not_o dwell_v too_o long_o upon_o a_o thing_n so_o evident_a do_v the_o apostle_n of_o that_o lord_n advise_v as_o well_o as_o the_o lord_n himself_o s._n paul_n phil._n 2.12_o exhort_v man_n to_o work_v out_o their_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a and_o the_o author_n to_o the_o

have_v it_o over_o and_o above_o represent_v as_o a_o effect_n of_o grace_n and_o a_o requisite_a to_o make_v our_o service_n acceptable_a now_o though_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v it_o be_v

to_o contradict_v it_o than_o that_o this_o fear_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o for_o the_o better_a explication_n of_o this_o fear_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o solution_n of_o those_o difficulty_n i_o will_v now_o propose_v they_o or_o at_o least_o that_o which_o be_v most_o considerable_a if_o you_o please_v to_o peruse_v the_o first_o epistle_n of_o s._n john_n the_o four_o chapter_n and_o the_o eighteen_o verse_n you_o will_v there_o find_v that_o apostle_n affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n in_o love_n but_o that_o perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n because_o fear_n have_v torment_n as_o moreover_o that_o he_o that_o fear_v be_v not_o make_v perfect_a in_o love_n for_o the_o answer_n of_o which_o difficulty_n not_o to_o say_v as_o some_o have_v do_v that_o by_o fear_n in_o that_o place_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o fear_n of_o man_n and_o of_o the_o evil_n which_o they_o may_v bring_v upon_o we_o because_o the_o perfect_a love_n to_o which_o fear_n be_v here_o oppose_v be_v refer_v to_o our_o have_a boldness_n to_o stand_v in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n to_o which_o therefore_o in_o all_o reason_n the_o opposite_a fear_n ought_v to_o relate_v i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v true_a perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n but_o i_o say_v withal_o that_o in_o this_o world_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o perfect_a love_n and_o therefore_o fear_v not_o to_o be_v eject_v till_o there_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o this_o very_a apostle_n may_v seem_v to_o refer_v to_o when_o in_o the_o word_n before_o these_o he_o affirm_v that_o herein_o be_v our_o love_n make_v perfect_a that_o we_o may_v have_v boldness_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n make_v that_o perfect_a love_n to_o appertain_v not_o to_o the_o present_a time_n but_o to_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n wherein_o indeed_o those_o that_o love_n god_n shall_v neither_o fear_v nor_o have_v any_o cause_n for_o it_o but_o let_v we_o suppose_v as_o there_o be_v some_o presumption_n for_o it_o that_o the_o perfect_a love_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o that_o love_n which_o be_v the_o peculiar_a portion_n of_o the_o next_o world_n but_o which_o be_v attainable_a in_o this_o yet_o even_o so_o it_o may_v well_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o cast_v out_o that_o fear_n for_o which_o we_o be_v now_o plead_v for_o as_o be_v before_o observe_v there_o be_v a_o fear_n of_o god_n as_o of_o a_o tyrant_n or_o at_o least_o a_o very_a hard_a master_n and_o another_o of_o a_o father_n and_o a_o king_n but_o withal_o a_o good_a and_o gracious_a one_o
