these_o two_o part_n afford_v we_o two_o great_a truth_n 1_o that_o the_o old_a covenant_n together_o with_o its_o seed_n or_o offspring_n be_v to_o be_v yea_o must_v be_v cast_v out_o 2_o that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n be_v the_o true_a and_o only_a heir_n of_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o which_o concern_v the_o old_a covenant_n and_o its_o

inquire_v which_o yet_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n material_a why_o we_o style_v this_o the_o old_a covenant_n my_o answer_n be_v because_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o two_o covenant_n in_o another_o place_n viz._n heb._n 8.13_o call_v the_o one_o old_a the_o other_o new_a and_o will_v we_o know_v

grossy_z abuse_n and_o mistake_v therefore_o the_o law_n of_o love_v our_o neighbour_n be_v for_o substance_n tile_n very_o same_o law_n with_o that_o his_o disputation_n have_v run_v upon_o but_o the_o law_n of_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o be_v the_o moral_a law_n for_o these_o word_n be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o second_o table_n thereof_o matth._n 22.39_o ergo_fw-la 8_o arg._n my_o eight_o and_o last_o argument_n i_o take_v from_o the_o apostle_n allegory_n out_o of_o which_o i_o have_v take_v my_o text_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o law_n which_o be_v give_v upon_o mount_n sinai_n be_v the_o old_a covenant_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n hagar_n be_v mount_n sinai_n in_o arabia_n but_o the_o law_n give_v upon_o mount_n sinai_n be_v not_o the_o ceremonial_a only_o but_o the_o moral_a also_o ergo_fw-la the_o conclusion_n be_v that_o by_o the_o old_a covenant_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o whole_a law_n as_o well_o the_o moral_a part_n as_o the_o ceremonial_a and_o political_a objection_n but_o here_o arise_v a_o great_a objection_n upon_o we_o viz._n that_o by_o prove_v the_o moral_a law_n to_o belong_v to_o the_o old_a covenant_n and_o affirm_v the_o old_a covenant_n be_v to_o be_v cast_v out_o we_o have_v destroy_v and_o make_v void_a the_o moral_a law_n yea_o not_o the_o ten_o commandment_n of_o moses_n only_o but_o moreover_o by_o our_o large_a acception_n of_o the_o word_n moral_a we_o have_v make_v null_n and_o overthrow_v all_o manner_n of_o duty_n whatsoever_o answer_v not_o so_o and_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o mark_v well_o what_o i_o be_o to_o say_v that_o as_o there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o moral_a law_n that_o appertain_v to_o hagar_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n so_o also_o something_o there_o be_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n that_o appertain_v to_o sarah_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n for_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v hagars_n rule_n and_o sarahs_n both_o now_o all_o our_o discourse_n hitherto_o upon_o the_o moral_a law_n have_v run_v upon_o it_o no_o otherwise_o but_o as_o the_o same_o be_v the_o law_n of_o hagar_n a_o part_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n and_o take_v in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v no_o injury_n to_o the_o holy_a law_n of_o god_n to_o say_v it_o must_v be_v cast_v out_o but_o if_o we_o take_v the_o moral_a law_n as_o it_o be_v sarahs_n rule_n it_o be_v then_o a_o most_o ungodly_a and_o profane_a assertion_n to_o say_v it_o must_v be_v cast_v out_o for_o observe_v though_o the_o bondwoman_n be_v to_o be_v cast_v out_o and_o all_o that_o appertain_v to_o she_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o freewoman_n nor_o of_o any_o thing_n that_o appertain_v to_o she_o whatsoever_o therefore_o that_o be_v of_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o appertain_v to_o the_o bondwoman_n the_o old_a covenant_n all_o that_o we_o may_v yea_o ought_v to_o cast_v out_o but_o contrariwise_o whatsoever_o that_o be_v that_o

the_o servant_n abide_v not_o in_o the_o house_n for_o ever_o yet_o the_o mistress_n abide_v for_o ever_o the_o question_n here_o will_v be_v what_o be_v that_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o do_v appertain_v to_o the_o bondwoman_n and_o what_o that_o which_o appertain_v to_o the_o freewoman_n answ_n the_o moral_a law_n consist_v of_o three_o part_n 1_o the_o mandatory_a or_o command_a part_n

new_a covenant_n or_o freewoman_n for_o note_v the_o old_a covenant_n have_v promise_n as_o well_o as_o command_n and_o threaten_n for_o which_o reason_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o covenant_n of_o promise_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n eph._n 2.12_o nothing_o that_o the_o old_a covenant_n as_o well_o as_o the_o new_a have_v promise_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o new_a be_v establish_v upon_o better_a promise_n heb._n 8.6_o show_v that_o the_o old_a be_v establish_v upon_o promise_n too_o but_o not_o so_o good_a promise_n as_o the_o new_a build_v upon_o again_o the_o new_a covenant_n have_v command_n and_o threaten_n also_o if_o we_o wax_v wanton_a under_o the_o grace_n thereof_o as_o well_o as_o promise_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n the_o bless_a word_n of_o
