be_v equivalent_a in_o all_o respect_n to_o a_o christian_a to_o the_o law_n for_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n they_o be_v opposite_n now_o what_o that_o be_v that_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o i_o conceive_v and_o can_v give_v divers_a scripture_n also_o if_o i_o have_v time_n that_o by_o grace_n here_o be_v mean_v the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n indeed_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o law_n be_v contain_v in_o it_o for_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o law_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o for_o ever_o i_o say_v the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v call_v grace_n because_o it_o be_v a_o gracious_a doctrine_n it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n full_a of_o grace_n the_o stream_n and_o the_o main_a thing_n of_o our_o preach_v be_v or_o shall_v be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n if_o it_o be_v take_v for_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n as_o that_o in_o tit._n 2._o the_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n teach_v we_o to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v holy_o and_o sober_o etc._n etc._n grace_n that_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o grace_n or_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n 2_o cor._n 6._o i_o beseech_v you_o receive_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a that_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o have_v in_o it_o grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o the_o like_a grace_n and_o the_o law_n be_v opposite_n as_o we_o see_v john_n 1_o the_o law_n come_v by_o moses_n but_o grace_n and_o truth_n come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n so_o grace_n in_o this_o place_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o a_o large_a sense_n you_o be_v under_o grace_n that_o be_v not_o only_o you_o be_v free_v from_o the_o law_n and_o you_o be_v now_o in_o a_o condition_n wherein_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n on_o you_o and_o save_v you_o but_o far_o more_o than_o that_o for_o belove_v as_o the_o law_n have_v precept_n and_o command_n and_o teach_v so_o grace_n have_v its_o precept_n also_o and_o command_v as_o well_o as_o promise_n therefore_o he_o say_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o he_o say_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n tell_v we_o and_o promise_v we_o or_o the_o like_a but_o it_o teach_v we_o grace_n have_v a_o school_n as_o the_o law_n have_v the_o law_n have_v a_o school_n and_o those_o that_o live_v under_o it_o according_a to_o its_o method_n it_o do_v train_n and_o teach_v they_o so_o a_o christian_a now_o in_o the_o school_n of_o grace_n under_o grace_n he_o have_v all_o that_o be_v good_a or_o necessary_a in_o the_o law_n and_o much_o more_o that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a in_o all_o respect_n for_o a_o christian_n if_o he_o be_v under_o grace_n there_o he_o shall_v have_v precept_n and_o promise_n and_o direction_n and_o comfort_n any_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a for_o he_o so_o that_o it_o be_v well_o if_o you_o will_v endeavour_n to_o conceive_v that_o the_o only_a master_n you_o have_v be_v grace_n the_o only_a rule_n by_o which_o you_o walk_v be_v grace_n it_o be_v the_o gospel_n which_o imply_v in_o it_o all_o the_o substantial_a precept_n of_o the_o law_n so_o in_o that_o respect_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o law_n and_o the_o law_n be_v of_o use_n and_o will_v be_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n now_o than_o i_o will_v conclude_v with_o this_o to_o show_v you_o a_o little_a concern_v this_o argument_n sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o you_o because_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n there_o be_v three_o main_a reason_n reason_n sin_n have_v less_o power_n over_o those_o under_o grace_n upon_o three_o reason_n why_o a_o man_n that_o be_v under_o grace_n that_o be_v clear_o free_v from_o the_o law_n why_o sin_n shall_v have_v less_o power_n over_o he_o then_o when_o he_o be_v under_o the_o law_n for_o those_o that_o live_v under_o grace_n though_o they_o be_v not_o perfect_a yet_o they_o be_v eminent_o holy_a in_o comparison_n of_o what_o they_o be_v and_o of_o what_o other_o be_v that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n one_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o grace_n have_v clear_a and_o more_o spiritual_a instruction_n and_o direction_n to_o holiness_n then_o the_o law_n have_v it_o have_v what_o the_o law_n have_v but_o it_o teach_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o exactness_n that_o can_v be_v express_v for_o what_o the_o law_n teach_v we_o may_v express_v it_o by_o natural_a understanding_n and_o you_o by_o natural_a understanding_n may_v comprehend_v it_o and_o if_o you_o miss_v it_o we_o may_v by_o natural_a understanding_n convince_v you_o of_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v spiritual_a and_o can_v be_v conceive_v by_o natural_a understanding_n i_o say_v the_o course_n of_o a_o christian_a the_o main_a walk_n of_o a_o christian_a under_o grace_n be_v such_o that_o a_o natural_a man_n can_v see_v or_o understand_v which_o way_n he_o go_v because_o a_o natural_a man_n conceive_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n by_o the_o law_n a_o man_n may_v convince_v and_o show_v it_o clear_o but_o the_o precept_n of_o grace_n be_v so_o sublime_a and_o spiritual_a that_o they_o must_v be_v understand_v spiritual_o and_o thereupon_o be_v that_o the_o precept_n and_o instruction_n and_o direction_n of_o grace_n be_v clear_a and_o bright_a and_o high_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o a_o man_n under_o grace_n be_v bring_v into_o full_a obedience_n to_o a_o free_a service_n than_o a_o man_n under_o the_o law_n beside_o second_o when_o a_o man_n be_v under_o grace_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o ingenuity_n a_o spiritual_a ingenuity_n of_o the_o heart_n yet_o though_o it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v not_o so_o many_o covenant_n and_o resolution_n and_o vow_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o ingenuity_n that_o understand_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n he_o can_v sin_v as_o another_o do_v that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o those_o phrase_n of_o the_o apostle_n how_o abhorrent_n such_o a_o thing_n will_v be_v as_o for_o instance_n shall_v we_o continue_v in_o sin_n that_o grace_n may_v abound_v god_n forbid_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v our_o heart_n be_v against_o it_o we_o can_v endure_v to_o render_v a_o answer_n of_o all_o god_n grace_n and_o goodness_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o that_o and_o so_o in_o 2_o cor._n 5._o whether_o we_o be_v mad_a or_o sober_a the_o love_n of_o god_n constrain_v we_o for_o we_o thus_o judge_v that_o if_o one_o die_v than_o all_o be_v dead_a that_o we_o shall_v not_o henceforth_o live_v to_o ourselves_o but_o to_o he_o that_o die_v for_o we_o that_o be_v this_o be_v our_o reason_n we_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o ingenuity_n in_o we_o that_o make_v we_o thus_o reason_n that_o if_o one_o man_n do_v come_v and_o die_v and_o purchase_v everlasting_a life_n we_o can_v but_o live_v to_o he_o that_o die_v for_o we_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o a_o man_n under_o the_o law_n that_o it_o may_v be_v be_v a_o swearer_n a_o drunkard_n a_o spendthrift_n and_o this_o consume_v his_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o family_n and_o all_o and_o he_o know_v this_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o go_v on_o he_o can_v help_v it_o why_o because_o he_o be_v under_o the_o law_n because_o when_o he_o have_v have_v his_o pleasure_n all_o day_n the_o law_n whip_v he_o at_o night_n and_o thereupon_o he_o harden_v his_o heart_n and_o it_o grow_v more_o and_o more_o against_o god_n and_o his_o commandment_n now_o if_o god_n will_v let_v it_o into_o his_o soul_n to_o see_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o he_o and_o how_o righteous_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v through_o christ_n and_o thereupon_o he_o be_v free_v from_o satan_n and_o sin_n and_o death_n if_o god_n will_v show_v he_o the_o hope_n of_o his_o call_n and_o the_o glorious_a condition_n that_o he_o stand_v in_o there_o will_v be_v such_o a_o ingenuity_n that_o he_o can_v not_o do_v it_o he_o need_v not_o make_v vow_n and_o promise_n that_o he_o will_v be_v drink_v no_o more_o but_o he_o will_v abhor_v to_o do_v so_o base_o and_o unworthy_o to_o so_o gracious_a a_o god_n that_o have_v do_v so_o wondrous_o and_o incomprehensible_o for_o his_o soul_n last_o there_o be_v a_o power_n in_o grace_n the_o law_n be_v a_o voice_n of_o word_n it_o do_v teach_v just_a as_o the_o commandment_n upon_o a_o wall_n a_o poor_a man_n may_v come_v in_o and_o read_v they_o but_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o the_o warm_a there_o be_v no_o
