christ_n have_v take_v that_o office_n out_o of_o its_o hand_n so_o that_o it_o shall_v never_o have_v power_n to_o keep_v one_o son_n or_o daughter_n of_o adam_n for_o ever_o under_o the_o hatch_n

perish_v eternal_o it_o will_v be_v for_o some_o disobedience_n to_o the_o gospel_n but_o as_o the_o law_n be_v a_o rule_n of_o life_n it_o be_v not_o abolish_v and_o that_o for_o these_o further_a reason_n more_o than_o we_o give_v you_o in_o our_o forementioned_a book_n i._n e._n 1_o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n have_v be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o they_o may_v have_v be_v abolish_v then_o from_o the_o time_n that_o they_o be_v abolish_v the_o person_n to_o who_o they_o be_v so_o abolish_v can_v be_v guilty_a of_o no_o sin_n rom._n 4.15_o 1_o john_n 3.4_o therefore_o observe_v how_o near_o this_o come_v to_o rant_a 2._o if_o so_o then_o from_o the_o time_n that_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v abolish_v we_o shall_v not_o want_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o wash_v away_o either_o the_o guilt_n or_o filth_n of_o sin_n and_o we_o know_v no_o way_n in_o the_o world_n how_o this_o can_v be_v shift_v but_o by_o say_v that_o christ_n have_v give_v we_o law_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o if_o those_o that_o say_v so_o mean_v only_o such_o institution_n as_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o deny_v it_o not_o but_o if_o they_o mean_v moral_a rule_n of_o righteousness_n such_o as_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n we_o deny_v it_o and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n 1._o in_o that_o it_o undervalue_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o make_v as_o if_o it_o be_v give_v but_o to_o remove_v the_o curse_n of_o such_o a_o law_n as_o have_v no_o more_o equity_n holiness_n or_o worth_n in_o it_o but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v abolish_v 2._o it_o make_v as_o if_o christ_n after_o he_o have_v by_o his_o death_n abolish_v the_o old_a covenant_n of_o work_n and_o bring_v we_o under_o a_o new-covenant_n of_o grace_n do_v again_o bring_v we_o under_o a_o three_o covenant_n even_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n a_o thing_n strange_a and_o unheard-of_a in_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v true_a christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n do_v often_o warn_v we_o to_o mind_v the_o duty_n command_v in_o the_o the_o old_a covenant_n but_o we_o never_o hear_v from_o other_o or_o see_v ground_n from_o the_o scripture_n to_o judge_v that_o christ_n have_v ever_o bring_v a_o three_o covenant_n and_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n too_o upon_o the_o neck_n of_o his_o people_n 3._o we_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v give_v wherefore_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n shall_v be_v abolish_v in_o the_o sense_n before_o name_v but_o what_o will_v grate_v as_o hard_o every_o whit_n upon_o all_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o indeed_o both_o the_o consequence_n and_o the_o evil_a of_o the_o consequence_n of_o this_o opinion_n be_v so_o obvious_a to_o every_o consider_v man_n that_o we_o shall_v forbear_v to_o say_v any_o more_o now._n and_o as_o to_o that_o which_o be_v object_v from_o rom._n 7._o we_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n go_v not_o there_o about_o to_o persuade_v we_o that_o the_o law_n be_v abolish_v as_o unto_o obedience_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o follow_a discourse_n in_o the_o 7_o vers_n and_o so_o to_o ult_v and_o the_o four_o first_o verse_n of_o cap._n 8._o as_o also_o for_o the_o reason_n give_v before_o but_o indeed_o this_o we_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n i._n e._n that_o whilst_o a_o person_n remain_v in_o his_o natural_a estate_n without_o christ_n have_v the_o law_n for_o a_o husband_n to_o use_v the_o scripture_n comparison_n he_o have_v no_o help_n by_o it_o to_o enable_v he_o to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o god_n but_o when_o he_o be_v once_o marry_a to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n by_o a_o lively_a faith_n he_o do_v receive_v that_o strength_n from_o christ_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n of_o sanctification_n and_o holiness_n which_o although_o the_o law_n teach_v he_o what_o he_o shall_v do_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o afford_v he_o help_v to_o do_v but_o this_o come_v
