when_o a_o thing_n be_v evil_a propter_fw-la fieri_fw-la because_o it_o be_v do_v the_o do_v of_o that_o thing_n be_v unlawful_a and_o inti_fw-la insecal_o sinful_a and_o therefore_o to_o be_v avoid_v

be_v evil_a not_o in_o the_o substance_n of_o thing_n but_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o defect_n which_o cleave_v unto_o it_o here_o this_o aught_o stiil_n to_o be_v do_v but_o the_o other_o ought_v

yes_o for_o god_n require_v it_o so_o then_o he_o be_v to_o perform_v god_n command_n but_o he_o be_v not_o thereby_o to_o work_v out_o his_o own_o project_n god_n command_v he_o to_o execute_v his_o

this_o case_n when_o a_o action_n have_v evil_a in_o its_o own_o substance_n it_o be_v to_o be_v omit_v but_o when_o the_o action_n be_v of_o itself_o the_o matter_n of_o a_o precept_n and_o so_o

say_v if_o i_o may_v not_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o than_o i_o may_v not_o do_v good_a when_o evil_a will_v come_v of_o it_o upon_o the_o same_o reason_n because_o evil_a be_v altogether_o to_o be_v prevent_v and_o avoid_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o argument_n follow_v clean_o contrary_a i_o may_v not_o do_v evil_a though_o good_a will_v come_v of_o it_o i_o must_v do_v good_a though_o evil_n shall_v come_v of_o it_o for_o when_o a_o command_n be_v absolute_a and_o peremptory_a we_o must_v not_o observe_v it_o with_o respect_n to_o consequence_n nor_o foist_v in_o condition_n or_o relation_n of_o our_o own_o to_o over-rule_v the_o duty_n lest_o we_o make_v ourselves_o lord_n of_o the_o law_n now_o the_o commandment_n for_o do_v good_a notwithstanding_o any_o consequence_n which_o may_v attend_v it_o be_v as_o absolute_a and_o peremptory_a as_o the_o command_n for_o not_o do_v evil_a and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o observe_v or_o forbear_v it_o with_o respect_n unto_o any_o consequence_n for_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o measure_v our_o duty_n by_o his_o command_n which_o require_v to_o abstain_v from_o evil_a and_o to_o do_v good_a not_o by_o the_o event_n that_o be_v incidentall_a and_o external_a to_o the_o duty_n do_v so_o than_o that_o which_o be_v good_a material_o of_o itself_o be_v to_o be_v do_v though_o evil_a follow_v first_o because_o god_n require_v it_o and_o his_o will_n must_v stand_v against_o all_o consequence_n second_o because_o the_o evil_a that_o come_v along_o in_o the_o do_n of_o it_o be_v not_o any_o way_n belong_v or_o natural_o appendant_a upon_o the_o duty_n but_o be_v foist_v into_o it_o by_o our_o wicked_a nature_n and_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n must_v not_o either_o

of_o holiness_n and_o grace_n which_o in_o christ_n we_o have_v receive_v for_o as_o sense_n of_o sin_n as_o a_o curse_a thing_n which_o be_v legal_a humiliation_n do_v arise_v from_o that_o faith_n

most_o holy_a and_o therefore_o most_o worthy_a to_o be_v imitate_v and_o serve_v second_o renovation_n and_o that_o two_o fold_n first_o inward_a in_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o heart_n which_o

as_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o lord_n jesus_n so_o walk_v in_o he_o now_o in_o all_o our_o obedience_n we_o must_v observe_v these_o three_o rule_n first_o that_o bind_a power_n which_o be_v in_o the_o law_n do_v sole_o depend_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n who_o be_v god_n he_o that_o customarilie_o and_o without_o care_n of_o obedience_n or_o fear_v of_o displeasure_n or_o antipathy_n of_o spirit_n break_v any_o one_o commandment_n venture_v to_o violate_v that_o authority_n which_o by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o ordination_n make_v the_o whole_a law_n equal_o bind_v &_o by_o consequence_n be_v habitual_o &_o in_o praeparatione_n 10._o animi_fw-la a_o transgressor_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n and_o therefore_o obedience_n must_v not_o be_v partial_a but_o universal_a as_o proceed_v from_o that_o faith_n which_o have_v respect_n equal_o to_o all_o god_n will_v and_o look_n upon_o he_o as_o most_o true_a and_o most_o holy_a in_o all_o his_o command_n second_o as_o god_n so_o his_o law_n be_v a_o spiritual_a and_o a_o perfect_a law_n and_o therefore_o require_v a_o inward_a universality_n of_o the_o subject_n as_o well_o as_o that_o other_o of_o the_o precept_n which_o we_o walk_v by_o i_o mean_v such_o a_o spiritual_a and_o sincere_a obedience_n of_o the_o hart_n as_o may_v without_o any_o mercenary_a or_o reserve_a respect_n uniform_o sway_v our_o whole_a man_n unto_o the_o same_o way_n and_o end_n three_o in_o every_o law_n all_o matter_n homogeneal_a and_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n with_o the_o particular_a name_v every_o sprig_n seed_n original_a of_o the_o duty_n be_v include_v as_o all_o the_o branch_n of_o a_o tree_n belong_v unto_o the_o same_o stock_n and_o by_o these_o rule_v we_o be_v to_o examine_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o obedience_n before_o i_o draw_v down_o these_o premise_n to_o a_o particular_a assumption_n and_o application_n i_o must_v for_o caution_n sake_n premise_v that_o faith_n may_v be_v in_o the_o heart_n either_o habitual_o as_o a_o actus_fw-la primus_fw-la a_o form_n or_o seed_n or_o principle_n of_o work_v or_o else_o actual_o as_o a_o actus_fw-la secundus_fw-la a_o particular_a operation_n and_o that_o in_o the_o former_a sense_n it_o do_v but_o remote_o dispose_v and_o order_v the_o soul_n to_o these_o property_n but_o in_o the_o late_a it_o do_v more_o visible_o and_o distinct_o produce_v they_o so_o then_o according_a as_o the_o heart_n be_v deaden_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n so_o do_v these_o property_n thereof_o more_o dim_o appear_v and_o more_o remissly_a work_n second_o we_o must_v note_v that_o according_a as_o faith_n have_v several_a work_n so_o satan_n have_v several_a way_n to_o assault_v and_o weaken_v it_o there_o be_v two_o main_a work_n of_o faith_n obedience_n and_o comfort_n to_o purify_v and_o to_o pacify_v the_o heart_n and_o according_a unto_o these_o so_o satan_n tempt_v his_o main_a end_n be_v to_o wrong_v and_o dishonour_n god_n and_o therefore_o chief_o he_o labour_v to_o disable_v the_o former_a virtue_n of_o faith_n and_o tempt_v to_o sin_n against_o god_n but_o when_o he_o can_v proceed_v so_o far_o he_o labour_v to_o discomfort_v and_o crush_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n when_o he_o prevail_v in_o the_o former_a he_o weaken_v all_o the_o property_n of_o faith_n when_o in_o the_o late_a only_o he_o do_v not_o then_o weaken_v all_o but_o only_o intercept_v and_o darken_v a_o christian_n peace_n for_o understand_v this_o point_n we_o must_v note_v that_o there_o be_v many_o act_n of_o faith_n some_o direct_a that_o look_v outward_a towards_o christ_n other_o reflexive_a that_o look_v inward_a upon_o themselves_o the_o first_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v that_o whereby_o a_o man_n have_v be_v former_o reduce_v unto_o extremity_n and_o impossibility_n within_o himself_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o omnipotent_a and_o so_o able_a to_o save_v as_o merciful_a and_o in_o christ_n reconcileable_a and_o so_o likely_a to_o save_v if_o he_o be_v seek_v unto_o hereupon_o grow_v a_o second_o act_n namely_o a_o kind_n of_o exclusive_a resolution_n to_o be_v think_v himself_o of_o no_o new_a way_n to_o trust_v no_o inferior_a cause_n for_o salvation_n or_o righteousness_n to_o sell_v all_o to_o count_v they_o all_o dung_n not_o to_o consult_v any_o more_o with_o flesh_n or_o blood_n but_o to_o prepare_v the_o heart_n to_o seek_v the_o lord_n to_o resolve_v as_o the_o leper_n in_o the_o famine_n 4._o at_o samaria_n not_o to_o continue_v in_o the_o state_n he_o be_v in_o nor_o yet_o to_o return_v to_o the_o city_n to_o his_o wont_a haunt_n and_o way_n where_o he_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o perish_v and_o from_o this_o resolution_n a_o man_n can_v by_o any_o discomfort_n be_v remove_v or_o make_v to_o bethink_v himself_o of_o any_o other_o new_a way_n but_o only_o that_o which_o he_o see_v be_v possible_a and_o probable_a and_o where_o he_o know_v if_o he_o find_v acceptance_n he_o shall_v have_v supply_n and_o life_n enough_o and_o this_o act_n may_v consist_v with_o much_o fear_n doubt_v and_o tremble_v the_o syrian_n have_v food_n and_o samaria_n have_v none_o therefore_o the_o leper_n resolve_v to_o venture_v abroad_o yet_o this_o they_o can_v do_v without_o much_o doubt_n and_o distrust_n because_o the_o syrian_n who_o they_o shall_v meet_v with_o be_v their_o enemy_n however_o this_o resolution_n overrule_v they_o because_o in_o their_o present_a estate_n they_o be_v sure_a to_o perish_v in_o the_o other_o there_o be_v room_n for_o hope_n and_o possibility_n of_o live_v and_o that_o carry_v they_o co_z ester_n resolution_n if_o we_o perish_v we_o perish_v such_o be_v the_o act_n of_o faith_n in_o this_o present_a case_n it_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o in_o the_o case_n a_o man_n be_v in_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o death_n to_o be_v expect_v therefore_o it_o make_v he_o resolve_v to_o relinquish_v that_o it_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o plenteous_a in_o power_n and_o mercy_n and_o so_o likely_a to_o save_v and_o yet_o it_o see_v he_o too_o as_o arm_v with_o justice_n against_o sin_n as_o just_o provoke_v and_o weary_v in_o his_o patience_n and_o therefore_o may_v fear_v to_o be_v reject_v and_o not_o save_v alive_a yet_o because_o in_o the_o former_a state_n there_o be_v a_o certainty_n to_o perish_v &_o in_o the_o late_a a_o possibility_n not_o to_o perish_v therefore_o from_o hence_o arise_v a_o three_o act_n a_o conclusive_a and_o positive_a purpose_n to_o trust_v christ._n i_o will_v not_o only_o deny_v all_o other_o way_n but_o i_o will_v resolve_v to_o try_v this_o way_n to_o set_v about_o it_o to_o go_v to_o he_o that_o have_v plenty_n of_o redemption_n and_o life_n if_o i_o must_v perish_v yet_o he_o shall_v reject_v i_o i_o will_v not_o reject_v myself_o i_o will_v go_v unto_o he_o and_o this_o act_n or_o resolution_n of_o faith_n be_v build_v upon_o these_o ground_n first_o because_o god_n love_n and_o free_a grace_n be_v the_o first_o original_a mover_n in_o our_o salvation_n if_o god_n do_v begin_v his_o work_n upon_o prevision_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o and_o from_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v never_o dare_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o because_o we_o shall_v never_o find_v any_o thing_n in_o ourselves_o to_o ground_v his_o mercy_n towards_o we_o upon_o but_o now_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v so_o absolute_a and_o independent_a that_o it_o do_v not_o only_o require_v nothing_o in_o we_o to_o excite_v and_o to_o call_v it_o out_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o ground_v upon_o christ_n himself_o i_o speak_v of_o his_o first_o love_n and_o grace_n christ_n be_v not_o the_o impulsive_a cause_n of_o god_n first_o love_n to_o mankind_n but_o be_v himself_o the_o great_a gift_n which_o god_n send_v to_o man_n therein_o to_o testify_v that_o he_o do_v free_o love_v they_o before_o god_n so_o
