gospel_n quite_o contrary_a the_o proper_a object_n of_o all_o the_o good_a that_o the_o gospel_n bring_v it_o be_v to_o a_o man_n quatinus_fw-la as_o a_o sinner_n not_o as_o a_o regenerate_a man_n and_o a_o righteous_a man_n and_o a_o humble_a man_n but_o as_o a_o sinner_n and_o here_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o more_o sinful_a any_o man_n be_v the_o more_o suitable_a this_o gospel_n be_v to_o he_o the_o more_o sin_n abound_v grace_n abound_v much_o more_o therefore_o you_o shall_v read_v rom._n 4._o they_o that_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o

our_o lord_n christ_n go_v to_o heaven_n there_o be_v some_o gospel_n but_o there_o be_v much_o law_n and_o as_o our_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o he_o be_v of_o the_o

there_o open_v you_o shall_v have_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o new_a or_o between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v the_o law_n that_o be_v the_o administration_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n where_o there_o be_v a_o little_a good_a news_n but_o mingle_v with_o a_o world_n of_o bad_a and_o terrible_a

in_o heaven_n it_o be_v all_o make_v sure_a to_o we_o by_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n sure_a and_o perfect_a in_o every_o point_n as_o david_n say_v and_o this_o covenant_n be_v seal_v with_o the_o

be_v you_o will_v say_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o thing_n gospel_n be_v not_o so_o very_o good_a because_o we_o poor_a sinner_n do_v not_o hear_v any_o thing_n in_o it_o for_o the_o body_n we_o do_v
