man_n look_v upon_o the_o author_n of_o this_o covenant_n &_o he_o hear_v no_o more_o but_o the_o law_n and_o what_o it_o require_v he_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o hard_a master_n as_o a_o enemy_n again_o he_o look_v upon_o his_o law_n as_o a_o hard_a and_o cruel_a law_n as_o a_o heavy_a yoke_n as_o a_o unsupportable_a bondage_n and_o therefore_o he_o hate_v i●_n and_o wish_n there_o be_v no_o such_o law_n he_o run_v from_o it_o as_o a_o bondslave_n run_v from_o his_o master_n as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o power_n this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v say_v gal._n 4._o 24._o hagar_n gender_v to_o bondage_n that_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n it_o beget_v bondman_n and_o slave_n and_o not_o son_n and_o freeman_n and_o likewise_o that_o heb._n 12._o 18._o 18._o say_v the_o apostle_n you_o be_v not_o come_v to_o mount_n sinai_n to_o the_o burn_a of_o fire_n to_o cloud_n to_o darkness_n and_o tempest_n to_o the_o sound_n of_o a_o trumpet_n so_o that_o moses_n himself_o do_v quake_v and_o tremble_v that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o this_o covenant_n of_o work_n it_o cause_v in_o he_o a_o fear_n and_o a_o enmity_n that_o be_v the_o 2._o difference_n the_o three_o be_v difference_n that_o it_o be_v a_o ministration_n of_o death_n as_o it_o be_v call_v 2_o cor._n 3._o a_o ministration_n of_o death_n that_o be_v it_o propound_v a_o curse_n to_o all_o those_o that_o do_v not_o keep_v it_o and_o it_o show_v no_o mean_n to_o avoid_v it_o and_o therefore_o a_o man_n be_v affect_v to_o it_o and_o to_o god_n the_o author_n of_o it_o as_o one_o be_v to_o a_o enemy_n that_o seek_v his_o destruction_n and_o therefore_o the_o ministration_n of_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o ministration_n of_o death_n the_o reason_n of_o all_o this_o be_v not_o because_o there_o be_v any_o ill_n in_o the_o law_n it_o be_v a_o ministration_n of_o the_o letter_n it_o beget_v fear_n &_o emity_n it_o be_v a_o ministration_n of_o death_n i_o say_v this_o arise_v not_o from_o hence_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v a_o cruel_a deadly_a law_n for_o the_o law_n be_v good_a but_o it_o arise_v from_o the_o weakness_n and_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o for_o example_n if_o you_o will_v take_v a_o potter_n vessel_n and_o dash_v it_o against_o a_o firm_a wall_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o wall_n be_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o vessel_n be_v not_o any_o infirmity_n or_o weakness_n in_o the_o wall_n for_o it_o be_v the_o excellency_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o wall_n to_o be_v hard_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o it_o be_v the_o weakness_n and_o fragility_n and_o brit●lenesse_n of_o the_o vessel_n and_o thence_o come_v it_o to_o be_v break_v asunder_o and_o so_o in_o this_o case_n the_o reason_n why_o this_o law_n or_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v a_o ministration_n of_o death_n and_o of_o enmity_n be_v not_o because_o there_o be_v any_o imperfection_n in_o the_o law_n it_o arise_v rather_o from_o the_o perfection_n of_o it_o but_o be_v from_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v the_o law_n it_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o law_n that_o it_o be_v so_o perfect_a that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v it_o and_o so_o it_o arise_v from_o the_o weakness_n and_o infirmity_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o observe_v this_o law_n now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n as_o this_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n so_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n first_o be_v a_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o of_o the_o letter_n second_o a_o ministration_n of_o love_n not_o of_o enmity_n of_o freedom_n not_o of_o bondage_n it_o be_v a_o ministration_n of_o righteousness_n as_o it_o be_v there_o call_v the_o ministration_n of_o righteousness_n for_o if_o the_o ministration_n of_o condemnation_n be_v glorious_a much_o more_o shall_v the_o ministration_n of_o righteousness_n exceed_v in_o glory_n three_o a_o ministration_n of_o life_n and_o justification_n and_o not_o a_o ministration_n of_o death_n and_o condemnation_n the_o ground_n of_o this_o and_o how_o it_o be_v thus_o we_o shall_v show_v show_v you_o by_o express_v to_o you_o he_o order_v how_o these_o depend_v and_o follow_v one_o upon_o the_o other_o when_o a_o man_n have_v look_v upon_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o see_v death_n in_o it_o see_v a_o strict_a law_n that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v then_o come●_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o show_v to_o he_o a_o righteousness_n to_o satisfy_v this_o law_n that_o

of_o another_o when_o he_o see_v this_o he_o see_v withal_o the_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n give_v this_o to_o he_o for_o his_o salvation_n out_o of_o his_o free_a grace_n and_o mercy_n when_o he_o see_v this_o the_o opinion_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v change_v mark_v i_o say_v his_o opinion_n his_o disposition_n and_o affection_n be_v alter_v he_o look_v not_o upon_o god_n now_o as_o

his_o apprehension_n be_v alter_v even_o as_o a_o servant_n when_o it_o be_v reveal_v to_o he_o that_o he_o be_v a_o son_n and_o that_o those_o hard_a task_n that_o be_v lay_v on_o he_o be_v the_o
