you_o give_v i_o a_o answer_n to_o these_o four_o question_n 1._o be_v a_o christian_n free_v from_o the_o moral_a law_n yea_o or_o no_o 2._o whether_o a_o christian_a tempt_v to_o sin_n shall_v strive_v against_o sin_n yea_o or_o no._n 3._o whether_o sanctification_n can_v evidence_n justification_n when_o justification_n lie_v dark_a 4._o how_o shall_v a_o poor_a soul_n that_o have_v not_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n nor_o can_v see_v any_o goodness_n itself_o how_o i_o say_v shall_v such_o a_o soul_n take_v comfort_n or_o on_o what_o foundation_n shall_v we_o tender_a comfort_n to_o such_o a_o soul_n dear_a friend_n i_o pray_v fail_v not_o to_o give_v i_o a_o answer_n i_o long_o to_o speak_v with_o you_o that_o i_o may_v tell_v you_o how_o abundant_o my_o soul_n be_v overcome_v by_o god_n and_o find_v sweet_a content_n in_o god_n since_o i_o have_v have_v a_o discovery_n of_o free_a grace_n which_o doctrine_n i_o be_v not_o only_o ignorant_a of_o but_o oppofite_n unto_o till_o i_o by_o the_o love_n of_o it_o be_v fetch_v into_o it_o and_o i_o now_o see_v it_o be_v not_o a_o doctrine_n of_o looseness_n but_o if_o any_o thing_n indeare_v a_o soul_n to_o god_n and_o make_v a_o soul_n able_a to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n to_o god_n than_o it_o be_v to_o know_v god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o love_n o_o that_o the_o world_n do_v but_o know_v what_o the_o saint_n do_v enjoy_v in_o this_o way_n than_o the_o pulpit_n will_v not_o be_v so_o full_a of_o calumny_n and_o the_o press_n so_o full_a of_o reproach_n against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a grace_n as_o now_o they_o be_v so_o in_o haste_n i_o rest_v leave_v you_o to_o god_n your_o dear_a friend_n in_o christ_n m._n w._n dear_a friend_n i_o have_v receive_v your_o letter_n i_o rejoice_v much_o to_o see_v and_o hear_v of_o the_o sweet_a come_n in_o of_o christ_n i_o desire_v to_o bless_v god_n in_o your_o behalf_n and_o for_o your_o question_n i_o have_v here_o send_v you_o a_o answer_n according_a to_o my_o small_a ability_n as_o god_n have_v give_v in_o unto_o i_o vale._n four_o question_n answer_v 1._o question_n be_v a_o christian_n free_v from_o the_o moral_a law_n yea_o or_o no_o answ_n without_o all_o question_n a_o christian_n be_v thus_o as_o it_o be_v hold_v out_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n and_o by_o that_o expression_n i_o mean_v 8.13_o rom._n 7.4_o rom._n 10._o 2_o cor._n 3.11_o heb._n 8.13_o as_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o so_o a_o law_n where_o god_n do_v declare_v himself_o a_o god_n over_o we_o and_o not_o a_o god_n for_o we_o except_o we_o be_v for_o he_o and_o so_o we_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o as_o it_o be_v hand_v to_o we_o in_o a_o christ_n by_o that_o i_o mean_v as_o it_o be_v make_v know_v to_o we_o in_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o which_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o which_o covenant_n god_n do_v engage_v himself_o to_o do_v by_o we_o what_o in_o the_o other_o covenant_n and_o law_n he_o require_v of_o we_o 8.10_o jer._n 33.8_o heb._n 8.10_o so_o that_o the_o material_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o destroy_v but_o much_o exalt_v for_o now_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o duty_n but_o a_o high_a privilege_n to_o work_v and_o to_o walk_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o acknowledge_v god_n and_o so_o we_o do_v not_o go_v about_o to_o destroy_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o old_a obligement_n of_o the_o law_n be_v do_v and_o live_v but_o now_o we_o be_v to_o do_v because_o we_o live_v we_o be_v not_o to_o do_v for_o love_n but_o to_o acknowledge_v love_n from_o the_o power_n of_o the_o income_n of_o itself_o which_o be_v in_o god_n for_o we_o which_o free_o run_v out_o from_o god_n to_o we_o without_o reference_n to_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o but_o to_o produce_v in_o we_o whatsoever_o be_v require_v of_o we_o if_o any_o one_o now_o object_n and_o say_v this_o be_v to_o lay_v aside_o all_o duty_n and_o live_v as_o we_o listen_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v this_o be_v not_o so_o for_o love_n enjoy_v tie_n and_o indeare_n more_o than_o love_v suppose_v but_o i_o know_v those_o that_o be_v not_o by_o god_n gather_v up_o into_o the_o bosom_n of_o god_n and_o so_o make_v able_a to_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o love_n within_o the_o limit_n of_o its_o own_o light_n they_o will_v they_o can_v choose_v but_o so_o judge_n for_o man_n judge_v of_o a_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o light_n in_o which_o they_o live_v i_o say_v no_o more_o of_o that_o q._n 2._o whether_o a_o christian_a tempt_v to_o sin_n shall_v strive_v against_o sin_n yea_o or_o no_o answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n but_o not_o our_o ability_n the_o alteration_n of_o the_o covenant_n do_v destroy_v duty_n but_o lay_v it_o upon_o a_o high_a power_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n phil._n 2.12_o 13._o in_o all_o his_o exhortation_n draw_v forth_o duty_n from_o the_o power_n of_o privilege_n as_o thus_o see_v we_o have_v these_o promise_n let_v we_o cleanse_v ourselves_o etc._n etc._n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o bring_v salvation_n teach_v we_o to_o deny_v ungodliness_n etc._n etc._n dear_a friend_n i_o may_v strive_v and_o sin_n in_o strive_v there_o be_v a_o way_n of_o strive_v which_o be_v our_o privilege_n to_o be_v act_v in_o but_o if_o self_n strive_v against_o self_n and_o sin_n we_o be_v more_o wrestle_v into_o self_n and_o sin_n or_o when_o self_n by_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n go_v about_o to_o lay_v down_o self_n by_o such_o laying_n down_o or_o when_o i_o strive_v from_o such_o a_o light_n as_o be_v gather_v up_o which_o light_n present_v god_n as_o set_v against_o i_o and_o to_o be_v alter_v by_o something_o do_v by_o i_o this_o be_v again_o to_o return_v to_o egypt_n and_o to_o live_v upon_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o so_o we_o may_v sin_v in_o strive_v against_o sin_n for_o though_o the_o work_n as_o a_o work_n be_v approve_v on_o by_o god_n yet_o the_o way_n in_o the_o work_n be_v altogether_o contrary_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n but_o when_o we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n do_v strive_v against_o sin_n which_o be_v against_o god_n the_o more_o i_o strive_v in_o this_o way_n the_o better_a it_o be_v and_o i_o count_v it_o not_o only_o a_o duty_n but_o a_o high_a privilege_n the_o lord_n make_v you_o and_o i_o thus_o to_o know_v god_n that_o by_o that_o light_n we_o may_v be_v carry_v out_o to_o live_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o god_n in_o all_o our_o action_n for_o dear_a friend_n you_o know_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o make_v less_o but_o a_o great_a deal_n the_o more_o unlovely_a by_o the_o apprehend_n of_o god_n in_o the_o light_n of_o his_o own_o love_n let_v man_n say_v what_o they_o will_v this_o i_o know_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o true_o christianize_v and_o real_o crucify_v to_o sin_n till_o he_o see_v a_o high_a good_a and_o excellency_n in_o god_n present_v to_o he_o and_o for_o he_o than_o he_o can_v possible_o see_v in_o any_o way_n of_o sin_n so_o much_o in_o answer_n to_o that_o quest_n 3._o whether_o sanctification_n can_v evidence_n justification_n when_o justification_n lie_v dark_a ans_fw-fr if_o the_o question_n be_v so_o i_o answer_v it_o do_v not_o for_o if_o i_o question_v the_o acceptation_n of_o my_o person_n i_o must_v needs_o question_v so_o far_o the_o acceptation_n of_o my_o action_n for_o gen._n 4.4_o abel_n believe_v the_o acceptation_n of_o his_o person_n and_o so_o of_o his_o sacrifice_n therefore_o for_o i_o to_o go_v about_o to_o answer_v a_o doubtful_a justification_n by_o a_o doubtful_a sanctification_n be_v to_o answer_v a_o doubt_n by_o a_o doubtful_a thing_n whereas_o the_o doubtfulness_n of_o the_o thing_n answer_v arise_v from_o the_o doubtfulness_n of_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v answer_v and_o how_o impossible_a and_o uncomfortable_a this_o be_v i_o leave_v you_o to_o judge_v which_o i_o be_o confident_a have_v otherwise_o learned_a christ_n beside_o act_v of_o sanctification_n as_o bare_a act_n they_o say_v do_v not_o evidence_n it_o but_o as_o sanctify_a act_n for_o say_v they_o love_v as_o a_o bare_a act_n do_v not_o evidence_n but_o as_o a_o act_n rise_v from_o a_o right_a principle_n which_o principle_n be_v the_o discovery_n of_o god_n love_n to_o i_o which_o discovery_n produce_v in_o i_o love_v to_o himself_o now_o do_v but_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o serious_o i_o may_v not_o look_v upon_o my_o love_n as_o evidence_v further_o than_o it_o arise_v from_o god_n love_n to_o i_o discover_v so_o then_o when_o there_o be_v no_o discovery_n of_o god_n love_n to_o i_o i_o
