his_o law_n and_o in_o the_o end_n with_o much_o ado_n we_o overcome_v thus_o stand_v the_o difference_n between_o man_n and_o angel_n travel_v towards_o the_o end_n the_o one_o have_v a_o short_a

come_v out_o of_o many_o tribulation_n to_o return_v again_o to_o the_o law_n possibility_n a_o four_o argument_n arise_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o law_n for_o if_o god_n shall_v give_v such_o a_o law_n which_o can_v not_o be_v keep_v of_o we_o than_o it_o can_v not_o bind_v we_o because_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v bind_v to_o that_o which_o be_v impossible_a for_o that_o be_v a_o wrong_n both_o to_o nature_n and_o grace_n therefore_o the_o school_n verse_n say_v ultra_fw-la posse_fw-la viri_fw-la non_fw-la vult_fw-la deus_fw-la ulla_fw-la requiri_fw-la a_o five_o argument_n be_v from_o the_o end_n of_o a_o law_n which_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v for_o if_o god_n shall_v command_v thing_n impossible_a than_o he_o shall_v make_v a_o law_n not_o to_o be_v keep_v but_o to_o be_v break_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o right_a end_n of_o a_o law_n and_o of_o a_o lawgiver_n but_o god_n for_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n will_v never_o give_v a_o law_n to_o a_o wrong_a end_n therefore_o he_o will_v never_o command_v thing_n impossible_a but_o the_o adversary_n to_o this_o truth_n will_v perchance_o ob._n object_v that_o when_o god_n first_o give_v his_o law_n to_o man_n it_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v keep_v the_o impossibility_n now_o proceed_v only_o from_o ourselves_o because_o through_o our_o own_o default_n it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v disenable_v and_o therefore_o god_n may_v just_o still_o oblige_v we_o to_o it_o though_o impossible_a but_o to_o this_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o christ_n have_v sol._n make_v a_o full_a satisfaction_n for_o that_o default_n of_o we_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v discharge_v we_o of_o that_o obligation_n insomuch_o that_o god_n can_v no_o more_o in_o equity_n now_o require_v impossibility_n at_o our_o hand_n than_o he_o can_v at_o first_o at_o adam_n neither_o do_v he_o if_o we_o may_v believe_v s._n paul_n who_o say_v i_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n by_o christ_n that_o 13._o strengthen_v i_o but_o it_o may_v be_v further_o urge_v that_o the_o law_n ob._n be_v still_o the_o same_o it_o be_v and_o therefore_o of_o itself_o do_v oblige_v we_o now_o to_o as_o exact_v a_o performance_n as_o ever_o it_o do_v adam_n though_o god_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n be_v please_v to_o remit_v from_o the_o rigour_n of_o it_o require_v sub_fw-la poena_fw-la no_o more_o of_o we_o than_o we_o be_v assist_v by_o his_o grace_n be_v able_a to_o perform_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o law_n oblige_v we_o sol._n no_o further_o than_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n be_v to_o extend_v it_o and_o therefore_o if_o god_n intend_v not_o now_o as_o questionless_a he_o do_v not_o to_o exact_v of_o we_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o law_n as_o it_o stand_v in_o its_o rigour_n quoad_fw-la omnes_fw-la gradus_fw-la neither_o do_v it_o in_o reason_n oblige_v we_o now_o to_o any_o such_o perfection_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n the_o law_n as_o give_v to_o adam_n be_v not_o the_o rule_n whereby_o we_o be_v to_o be_v judge_v but_o as_o it_o be_v give_v to_o we_o in_o christ_n which_o every_o christian_a ought_v and_o therefore_o may_v perform_v and_o here_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v most_o convenient_a to_o reason_n and_o justice_n that_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v exact_v so_o far_o as_o the_o possibility_n of_o the_o oblige_v can_v reach_v and_o no_o further_o adam_n in_o his_o integrity_n may_v have_v perfect_o keep_v it_o if_o he_o will_v and_o therefore_o the_o fulfil_n of_o it_o in_o rigour_n be_v expect_v sub_fw-la poena_fw-la of_o he_o and_o that_o just_o we_o now_o fall_v will_v perfect_o fulfil_v it_o but_o can_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o punishment_n inflict_v on_o we_o by_o our_o just_a judge_n and_o therefore_o durante_fw-la poenâ_fw-la he_o can_v in_o equity_n now_o expect_v that_o perfection_n in_o keep_v it_o which_o adam_n have_v for_o to_o mutilate_v a_o runner_n or_o oppress_v he_o with_o weight_n and_o then_o to_o command_v he_o to_o run_v with_o that_o agility_n and_o speed_n he_o former_o can_v unless_o he_o be_v endue_v with_o his_o first_o integrity_n strength_n and_o liberty_n of_o limb_n be_v absurd_a so_o to_o think_v our_o good_a god_n now_o in_o this_o our_o languour_n and_o reluctancy_n of_o nature_n will_v under_o pain_n of_o death_n tie_v we_o to_o absolute_a obedience_n and_o not_o restore_v we_o to_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n wherein_o it_o be_v possible_a be_v altogether_o as_o senseless_a and_o unreasonable_a a_o six_o argument_n be_v from_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n which_o be_v god_n if_o god_n shall_v command_v thing_n impossible_a than_o he_o shall_v be_v more_o cruel_a than_o a_o tyrant_n who_o will_v not_o offer_v to_o ask_v of_o his_o subject_n such_o a_o tribute_n which_o he_o know_v can_v be_v pay_v nor_o make_v such_o a_o law_n which_o can_v be_v keep_v because_o this_o be_v against_o the_o common_a good_a of_o every_o state_n but_o god_n be_v good_a to_o all_o and_o no_o tyrant_n because_o his_o mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n therefore_o he_o will_v not_o command_v any_o thing_n impossible_a and_o to_o this_o

he_o damn_v a_o man_n for_o that_o he_o can_v not_o avoid_v because_o he_o be_v merciful_a now_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o god_n give_v his_o law_n in_o moses_n time_n many_o hundred_o year_n
