you_o give_v i_o a_o answer_n to_o these_o four_o question_n 1._o be_v a_o christian_n free_v from_o the_o moral_a law_n yea_o or_o no_o 2._o whether_o a_o christian_a tempt_v to_o sin_n shall_v

to_o such_o a_o soul_n dear_a friend_n i_o pray_v fail_v not_o to_o give_v i_o a_o answer_n i_o long_o to_o speak_v with_o you_o that_o i_o may_v tell_v you_o how_o abundant_o my_o soul_n be_v overcome_v by_o god_n and_o find_v sweet_a content_n in_o god_n since_o i_o have_v have_v a_o discovery_n of_o free_a grace_n which_o doctrine_n i_o be_v not_o only_o ignorant_a of_o but_o oppofite_n unto_o till_o i_o by_o the_o love_n of_o it_o be_v fetch_v into_o it_o and_o i_o now_o see_v it_o be_v not_o a_o doctrine_n of_o looseness_n but_o if_o any_o thing_n indeare_v a_o soul_n to_o god_n and_o make_v a_o soul_n able_a to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n to_o god_n than_o it_o be_v to_o know_v god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o love_n o_o that_o the_o world_n do_v but_o know_v what_o the_o saint_n do_v enjoy_v in_o this_o way_n than_o the_o pulpit_n will_v not_o be_v so_o full_a of_o calumny_n and_o the_o press_n so_o full_a of_o reproach_n against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a grace_n as_o now_o they_o be_v so_o in_o haste_n i_o rest_v leave_v you_o to_o god_n your_o dear_a friend_n in_o christ_n m._n w._n dear_a friend_n i_o have_v receive_v your_o letter_n i_o rejoice_v much_o

according_a to_o my_o small_a ability_n as_o god_n have_v give_v in_o unto_o i_o vale._n four_o question_n answer_v 1._o question_n be_v a_o christian_n free_v from_o the_o moral_a law_n yea_o or_o no_o answ_n without_o all_o question_n a_o christian_n be_v thus_o as_o it_o be_v hold_v out_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n and_o by_o that_o expression_n i_o mean_v 8.13_o rom._n 7.4_o rom._n 10._o 2_o cor._n 3.11_o heb._n 8.13_o as_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o so_o a_o law_n where_o god_n do_v declare_v himself_o a_o god_n over_o we_o and_o not_o a_o god_n for_o we_o except_o we_o be_v for_o he_o and_o so_o we_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o as_o it_o be_v hand_v to_o we_o in_o a_o christ_n by_o that_o i_o mean_v as_o it_o be_v make_v know_v to_o we_o in_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o which_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o which_o covenant_n god_n do_v engage_v himself_o to_o do_v by_o we_o what_o in_o the_o other_o covenant_n and_o law_n he_o require_v of_o we_o 8.10_o jer._n 33.8_o heb._n 8.10_o so_o that_o the_o material_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o destroy_v but_o much_o exalt_v for_o now_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o duty_n but_o a_o high_a privilege_n to_o work_v and_o to_o walk_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o acknowledge_v god_n and_o so_o we_o do_v not_o go_v about_o to_o destroy_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o old_a obligement_n of_o the_o law_n be_v do_v and_o live_v but_o now_o we_o be_v to_o do_v because_o we_o live_v we_o be_v not_o to_o do_v for_o love_n but_o to_o acknowledge_v love_n from_o the_o power_n of_o the_o income_n of_o itself_o which_o be_v in_o god_n for_o we_o which_o free_o run_v out_o from_o god_n to_o we_o without_o reference_n to_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o but_o to_o produce_v in_o we_o whatsoever_o be_v require_v of_o we_o if_o any_o one_o now_o object_n and_o say_v this_o be_v to_o lay_v aside_o all_o duty_n and_o live_v as_o we_o listen_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v this_o be_v not_o so_o for_o love_n enjoy_v tie_n and_o indeare_n more_o than_o love_v suppose_v but_o i_o know_v those_o that_o be_v not_o by_o god_n gather_v up_o into_o the_o bosom_n of_o god_n and_o so_o make_v able_a to_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o love_n within_o the_o limit_n of_o its_o own_o light_n they_o will_v they_o can_v choose_v but_o so_o judge_n for_o man_n judge_v of_o a_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o light_n in_o which_o they_o live_v i_o say_v no_o more_o of_o that_o q._n 2._o whether_o a_o christian_a tempt_v to_o sin_n shall_v strive_v against_o sin_n yea_o or_o no_o answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n but_o not_o our_o ability_n the_o alteration_n of_o the_o covenant_n do_v destroy_v duty_n but_o lay_v it_o upon_o a_o high_a power_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n phil._n 2.12_o 13._o in_o all_o his_o exhortation_n draw_v forth_o duty_n from_o the_o power_n of_o privilege_n as_o thus_o see_v we_o have_v these_o promise_n let_v we_o cleanse_v ourselves_o etc._n etc._n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o bring_v salvation_n teach_v we_o to_o deny_v ungodliness_n etc._n etc._n dear_a friend_n i_o may_v strive_v and_o sin_n in_o strive_v there_o be_v a_o way_n of_o strive_v which_o be_v our_o privilege_n to_o be_v act_v in_o but_o if_o self_n strive_v against_o self_n and_o sin_n we_o be_v more_o wrestle_v into_o self_n and_o sin_n or_o when_o self_n by_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n go_v about_o to_o lay_v down_o self_n by_o such_o laying_n down_o or_o when_o i_o strive_v from_o such_o a_o light_n as_o be_v gather_v up_o which_o light_n present_v god_n as_o set_v against_o i_o and_o to_o be_v alter_v by_o something_o do_v by_o i_o this_o be_v again_o to_o return_v to_o egypt_n and_o to_o live_v upon_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o so_o we_o may_v sin_v in_o strive_v against_o sin_n for_o though_o the_o work_n as_o a_o work_n be_v approve_v on_o by_o god_n yet_o the_o way_n in_o the_o work_n be_v altogether_o contrary_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n but_o when_o we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n do_v strive_v against_o sin_n which_o be_v against_o god_n the_o more_o i_o strive_v in_o this_o way_n the_o better_a it_o be_v and_o i_o count_v it_o not_o only_o a_o duty_n but_o a_o high_a privilege_n the_o lord_n make_v you_o and_o i_o thus_o to_o know_v god_n that_o by_o that_o light_n we_o may_v be_v carry_v out_o to_o live_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o god_n in_o all_o our_o action_n for_o dear_a friend_n you_o know_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o make_v less_o but_o a_o great_a deal_n the_o more_o unlovely_a by_o the_o apprehend_n of_o god_n in_o the_o light_n of_o his_o own_o love_n let_v man_n say_v what_o they_o will_v this_o i_o know_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o true_o christianize_v and_o real_o crucify_v to_o sin_n till_o he_o see_v a_o high_a good_a and_o excellency_n in_o god_n present_v to_o he_o and_o for_o he_o than_o he_o can_v possible_o see_v in_o any_o way_n of_o sin_n so_o much_o in_o answer_n to_o that_o quest_n 3._o whether_o sanctification_n can_v evidence_n justification_n when_o justification_n lie_v dark_a ans_fw-fr if_o the_o question_n be_v so_o i_o answer_v it_o do_v not_o for_o if_o i_o question_v the_o acceptation_n of_o my_o person_n i_o must_v needs_o question_v so_o far_o the_o acceptation_n of_o my_o action_n for_o gen._n 4.4_o abel_n believe_v the_o acceptation_n of_o his_o person_n and_o so_o of_o his_o sacrifice_n therefore_o for_o i_o to_o go_v about_o to_o answer_v a_o doubtful_a justification_n by_o a_o doubtful_a sanctification_n be_v to_o answer_v a_o doubt_n by_o a_o doubtful_a thing_n whereas_o the_o doubtfulness_n of_o the_o thing_n answer_v arise_v from_o the_o doubtfulness_n of_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v answer_v and_o how_o impossible_a and_o uncomfortable_a this_o be_v i_o leave_v you_o to_o judge_v which_o i_o be_o confident_a have_v otherwise_o learned_a christ_n beside_o act_v of_o sanctification_n as_o bare_a act_n they_o say_v do_v not_o evidence_n it_o but_o as_o sanctify_a act_n for_o say_v they_o love_v as_o a_o bare_a act_n do_v not_o evidence_n but_o as_o a_o act_n rise_v from_o a_o right_a principle_n which_o principle_n be_v the_o discovery_n of_o god_n love_n to_o i_o which_o discovery_n produce_v in_o i_o love_v to_o himself_o now_o do_v but_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o serious_o i_o may_v not_o look_v upon_o my_o love_n as_o evidence_v further_o than_o it_o arise_v from_o god_n love_n to_o i_o discover_v so_o then_o when_o there_o be_v no_o

place_n hos_fw-la 10.12_o sow_n to_o yourselves_o in_o righteousness_n reap_v in_o mercy_n which_o word_n seem_v to_o hold_v forth_o so_o much_o according_a to_o the_o language_n of_o the_o old_a covenan_n as_o though_o we_o be_v to_o act_v righteousness_n before_o we_o receive_v mercy_n but_o believer_n under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o so_o to_o observe_v it_o but_o we_o be_v now_o to_o observe_v it_o so_o that_o we_o act_n righteousness_n in_o that_o we_o have_v receive_v mercy_n for_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n still_o draw_v forth_o duty_n from_o a_o power_n of_o privilege_n as_o appear_v by_o such_o expression_n as_o these_o bless_v be_v they_o that_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n the_o blessedness_n be_v not_o place_v in_o the_o future_a tense_n as_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v get_v by_o hunger_a and_o thirst_v but_o it_o be_v place_v in_o the_o present_a tense_n as_o that_o which_o be_v the_o produce_v cause_n of_o it_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v see_v we_o have_v these_o promise_n let_v we_o cleanse_v ourselves_o according_a to_o these_o rule_n be_v we_o to_o understand_v this_o verse_n sow_v to_o yourselves_o in_o righteousness_n reap_v in_o mercy_n and_o understand_v these_o word_n according_a to_o the_o former_a rule_n this_o conclusion_n will_v arise_v doct._n that_o act_n of_o righteousness_n be_v fruit_n of_o mercy_n if_o you_o ask_v i_o in_o the_o first_o place_n 7.1_o rom._n 2.1_o luk_n 7.47_o 2_o cor._n 7.1_o what_o i_o mean_v by_o act_n of_o righteousness_n i_o answer_v by_o that_o i_o mean_v the_o act_n of_o sanctification_n if_o you_o ask_v i_o in_o the_o next_o place_n what_o the_o righteousness_n of_o sanctification_n be_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o conformity_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n produce_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v carry_v out_o to_o live_v to_o god_n in_o particular_a act_n if_o you_o in_o the_o next_o place_n ask_v i_o what_o i_o mean_v by_o mercy_n that_o the_o act_n of_o righteousness_n be_v a_o fruit_n of_o i_o answer_v by_o that_o mercy_n i_o mean_v the_o sweet_a &_o glorious_a come_n in_o of_o god_n by_o which_o the_o soul_n become_v real_o possess_v with_o god_n and_o be_v make_v able_a to_o live_v in_o the_o light_n &_o love_n of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v make_v able_a from_o thence_o to_o bring_v forth_o act_n of_o righteousness_n suitable_a to_o god_n and_o therefore_o thus_o i_o desire_v to_o speak_v to_o all_o that_o love_n god_n act_n righteousness_n suitable_a to_o god_n in_o that_o you_o have_v receive_v mercy_n from_o god_n the_o reason_n to_o prove_v this_o point_n be_v this_o no_o soul_n can_v act_v a_o live_a act_n without_o a_o live_a power_n but_o no_o soul_n enjoy_v a_o live_a power_n till_o he_o have_v receive_v mercy_n from_o god_n therefore_o no_o soul_n can_v act_v act_n of_o righteousness_n which_o be_v live_a act_n till_o they_o have_v receive_v mercy_n from_o god_n which_o be_v a_o live_a power_n the_o use_n of_o this_o same_o be_v to_o show_v the_o folly_n of_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n first_o those_o who_o teach_v man_n to_o work_v to_o get_v mercy_n and_o not_o to_o act_v from_o a_o power_n of_o mercy_n receive_v they_o may_v as_o well_o say_v to_o a_o dead_a man_n act_n live_v act_n and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o life_n second_o it_o serve_v to_o show_v the_o folly_n of_o those_o who_o say_v they_o have_v receive_v mercy_n from_o god_n and_o yet_o walk_v loose_o with_o god_n i_o know_v not_o what_o they_o say_v for_o that_o heart_n that_o real_o have_v receive_v mercy_n from_o god_n in_o be_v possess_v with_o god_n they_o be_v so_o overcome_v with_o god_n that_o they_o love_v to_o live_v to_o he_o and_o look_v upon_o the_o duty_n they_o be_v to_o perform_v as_o a_o high_a privilege_n but_o no_o more_o of_o this_o conclusion_n and_o for_o the_o next_o word_n break_v up_o your_o fallow_a ground_n which_o be_v a_o explication_n of_o the_o former_a or_o a_o direction_n for_o a_o right_a performance_n of_o the_o former_a for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o foolish_a thing_n to_o sow_v in_o unbroken_a ground_n so_o it_o be_v a_o impossible_a thing_n to_o act_v righteousness_n with_o a_o unmelted_a or_o unbroken_a heart_n from_o whence_o observe_v this_o conclusion_n doct._n that_o a_o heart_n be_v change_v and_o break_v by_o god_n before_o he_o can_v bring_v forth_o act_n of_o righteousness_n to_o god_n a_o old_a principal_n can_v bring_v forth_o new_a fruit_n when_o i_o say_v god_n break_v the_o heart_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v break_v the_o heart_n by_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o law_n but_o a_o melt_a of_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o come_n in_o of_o love_n but_o i_o say_v no_o more_o of_o of_o that_o conclusion_n for_o the_o next_o word_n it_o be_v time_n to_o seek_v the_o lord_n iply_v that_o be_v some_o special_a time_n of_o seek_v god_n or_o that_o it_o be_v a_o a_o special_a thing_n to_o seek_v god_n thence_o observe_v this_o conclusion_n doct._n that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o soul_n possess_v with_o god_n to_o seek_v god_n the_o ne_o next_o word_n be_v till_o i_o reign_v down_o righteousness_n upon_o you_o imply_v thus_o much_o that_o that_o soul_n that_o have_v power_n from_o god_n to_o seek_v to_o god_n for_o the_o pour_v down_o of_o his_o mercy_n shall_v sure_o have_v answer_n from_o thence_o observe_v this_o conclusion_n doct._n that_o god_n be_v not_o nor_o god_n will_v not_o be_v a_o forsake_v god_n to_o a_o seek_v people_n this_o be_v clear_a if_o you_o look_v upon_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n consider_v the_o love_n of_o god_n god_n can_v will_v not_o forsake_v a_o seek_v people_n why_o because_o it_o be_v alone_o from_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n that_o we_o seek_v god_n and_o under_o that_o sense_n we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v god_n can_v as_o well_o forsake_v himself_o as_o forsake_v those_o that_o seek_v he_o from_o a_o enjoyment_n of_o he_o use_v first_o to_o inform_v we_o of_o one_o corolie_a that_o natural_o arise_v from_o the_o conclusion_n and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o no_o soul_n can_v seek_v god_n till_o he_o be_v find_v of_o god_n the_o reason_n to_o this_o corolie_n be_v this_o because_o the_o power_n of_o our_o seek_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o god_n find_v than_o this_o show_v the_o folly_n of_o those_o man_n which_o stir_v up_o people_n to_o seek_v not_o from_o a_o power_n of_o be_v find_v but_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o seek_v that_o they_o may_v be_v find_v the_o next_o use_n be_v a_o use_n of_o comfort_n if_o our_o seek_n be_v a_o fruit_n of_o god_n find_v this_o shall_v comfort_v god_n people_n thus_o that_o there_o be_v no_o sear_n of_o fail_v to_o find_v god_n when_o we_o seek_v he_o because_o the_o power_n of_o seek_v god_n flow_v from_o the_o privilege_n of_o be_v find_v of_o god_n and_o so_o much_o of_o this_o conclusion_n and_o of_o this_o verse_n and_o for_o that_o place_n in_o jer._n 4.3_o and_o beginning_n of_o the_o four_o verse_n which_o word_n be_v
