desire_v to_o bless_v myself_o from_o they_o and_o to_o keep_v i_o close_o to_o those_o faithful_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n who_o do_v make_v the_o moral_a law_n a_o rule_n for_o life_n and_o i_o hope_v neighbour_n you_o will_v do_v so_o too_o antinomian_n no_o very_o not_o i_o for_o i_o be_o not_o of_o master_n evangelist_n mind_n nor_o do_v i_o intend_v ever_o to_o be_v once_o i_o

close_o to_o duty_n and_o obedience_n that_o all_o my_o christian_a liberty_n purchase_v for_o i_o be_v deny_v unto_o i_o i_o can_v not_o do_v many_o thing_n which_o now_o i_o do_v evangelist_n i_o pray_v you_o sir_n be_v entreat_v to_o open_v you_o self_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v one_o another_o aright_o ere_o we_o part_v it_o may_v please_v god_n that_o satisfaction_n may_v be_v give_v antinomian_n my_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o you_o and_o such_o as_o you_o be_v by_o preach_v and_o press_v the_o use_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n lay_v a_o heavy_a yoke_n upon_o myself_o and_o other_o keep_v we_o in_o a_o state_n of_o fear_n and_o bondage_n all_o our_o day_n draw_v we_o into_o a_o way_n of_o popery_n and_o lead_v we_o about_o the_o wood_n make_v the_o way_n and_o work_v long_a and_o tedious_a unto_o we_o but_o now_o bless_a be_v god_n for_o jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o the_o new_a light_n that_o be_v reveal_v to_o we_o we_o hear_v the_o gospel_n understand_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o have_v a_o more_o easy_a and_o short_a cut_n to_o heaven_n than_o you_o allow_v of_o evangelist_n sure_o my_o friend_n i_o conceive_v that_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n be_v easy_a and_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o grievous_a nay_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v a_o ordain_a rule_n for_o life_n be_v the_o sweet_a yoke_n of_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o which_o every_o good_a christian_n do_v yield_v a_o willing_a and_o cheerful_a obedience_n i_o mean_v the_o obedience_n of_o child_n not_o of_o slave_n this_o i_o find_v that_o it_o be_v a_o trouble_n to_o christian_n that_o they_o be_v not_o more_o obedient_a to_o the_o law_n but_o it_o never_o trouble_v they_o that_o they_o have_v be_v obedient_a to_o it_o they_o in_o their_o inner_a man_n do_v delight_n in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v meat_n and_o drink_n unto_o they_o to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o their_o father_n yea_o it_o be_v their_o daily_a prayer_n that_o they_o may_v do_v it_o beside_o the_o law_n preach_v and_o press_v as_o a_o rule_n for_o life_n lead_v no_o man_n direct_o into_o popery_n to_o set_v it_o up_o as_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n so_o it_o may_v lead_v man_n into_o popery_n it_o be_v not_o the_o right_n do_v of_o duty_n out_o of_o obedience_n in_o faith_n and_o humility_n but_o the_o trust_n in_o duty_n do_v which_o do_v make_v man_n justiciaries_n and_o papist_n and_o further_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o royal_a law_n be_v a_o straight_a law_n and_o we_o hold_v in_o the_o mathematics_n that_o the_o straight_a line_n be_v the_o short_a line_n and_o therefore_o you_o do_v not_o go_v about_o the_o wood_n when_o you_o walk_v by_o this_o line_n it_o be_v a_o observation_n of_o one_o that_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v like_a to_o the_o ecliptic_a line_n wherein_o the_o sun_n keep_v his_o course_n and_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v like_a to_o the_o planet_n which_o be_v on_o this_o or_o that_o side_n of_o the_o line_n if_o any_o of_o they_o chance_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o ecliptic_a line_n they_o be_v near_o the_o sun_n than_o any_o other_o the_o planet_n i_o may_v apply_v it_o thus_o when_o christian_n walk_v in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n they_o be_v near_o to_o god_n and_o christ_n the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n on_o the_o contrary_a to_o cast_v off_o the_o law_n and_o care_n of_o holy_a walk_n and_o to_o fall_v into_o course_n of_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n be_v the_o go_v from_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o i_o shall_v ask_v you_o this_o one_o question_n and_o let_v your_o conscience_n answer_v i_o have_v not_o you_o hear_v the_o open_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n by_o those_o who_o be_v both_o know_v and_o settle_a minister_n in_o this_o city_n antinomist_n but_o you_o do_v not_o preach_v it_o pure_o you_o seem_v to_o lift_v up_o jesus_n christ_n but_o on_o a_o sudden_a you_o cast_v he_o down_o we_o have_v such_o a_o deal_n of_o law_n preach_v to_o we_o as_o if_o we_o be_v unbeliever_n and_o there_o be_v such_o press_v of_o man_n to_o duty_n as_o if_o that_o christ_n have_v not_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n for_o they_o evangelist_n sir_n i_o be_o glad_a to_o hear_v this_o come_v our_o of_o your_o mouth_n it_o seem_v that_o the_o law_n may_v be_v preach_v to_o unbeliever_n i_o see_v you_o be_v not_o run_v up_o so_o high_a as_o to_o deny_v legal_a humiliation_n to_o be_v a_o way_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o christ_n you_o only_o conceive_v that_o the_o gospel_n will_v be_v more_o pure_o preach_v by_o we_o if_o that_o we_o do_v not_o press_v the_o law_n for_o duty_n be_v the_o teach_n of_o duty_n among_o you_o hold_v to_o be_v no_o gospel_n way_n of_o teach_v be_v you_o not_o in_o the_o relation_n of_o son_n and_o servant_n
