we_o must_v mark_v that_o paul_n speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n but_o of_o the_o whole_a ministry_n of_o moses_n which_o truelye_o be_v proper_a to_o moses_n and_o that_o be_v to_o prescribe_v a_o rule_n how_o to_o live_v and_o ceremony_n whereby_o they_o may_v excercise_n themselves_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o after_o that_o to_o join_v promise_n and_o threaten_n and_o whereas_o many_o promise_n of_o god_n free_a mercy_n and_o of_o christ_n be_v include_v therein_o which_o belong_v unto_o faith_n that_o happen_v accidental_o as_o it_o be_v and_o be_v take_v from_o else_o where_o as_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o law_n be_v compare_v with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o grace_n you_o must_v therefore_o bear_v in_o memory_n that_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o question_n why_o after_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v do_v moses_n step_n in_o with_o that_o new_a covenaunt_n he_o that_o do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v in_o they_o deut._n 4.1_o curse_a be_v he_o that_o fulfil_v not_o all_o thing_n deut._n 27.26_o do_v he_o it_o that_o he_o may_v bring_v that_o which_o be_v better_o and_o perfect_a 19_o because_o of_o transgression_n the_o use_n of_o the_o law_n be_v manifold_a but_o paul_n touch_v that_o alone_a which_o serve_v the_o turn_n present_a for_o it_o be_v not_o his_o purpose_n to_o discourse_v how_o many_o way_n the_o law_n may_v profit_v man_n whereof_o the_o reader_n must_v be_v admonish_v for_o i_o perceive_v many_o to_o be_v deceive_v herein_o that_o they_o allow_v no_o other_o profit_n for_o the_o law_n to_o serve_v too_o beside_o that_o which_o here_o be_v note_v but_o paul_n himself_o 2._o tim._n 3._o ver_fw-la 16._o do_v apply_v the_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n to_o doctrine_n and_o exhortation_n this_o than_o be_v

transgression_n mean_v so_o also_o do_v the_o philosopher_n speak_v that_o the_o law_n be_v make_v to_o bridle_v evil_n and_o so_o say_v the_o old_a proverb_n that_o of_o ill_a manner_n spring_v good_a law_n but_o paul_n have_v a_o deep_a meaning_n than_o the_o word_n seem_v to_o show_v for_o his_o mind_n be_v that_o the_o law_n be_v make_v that_o it_o may_v make_v transgression_n to_o appear_v playnelye_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v it_o may_v constrain_v man_n to_o confess_v their_o guiltiness_n for_o as_o they_o do_v natural_o favour_n and_o pardon_n themselves_o so_o except_o they_o be_v urge_v by_o the_o law_n they_o have_v sleepye_a conscience_n and_o hereof_o be_v that_o say_n of_o paul_n before_o the_o law_n although_o sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o impute_v rom._n 5.13_o the_o law_n come_v than_o to_o wake_v those_o which_o be_v a_o sleep_n for_o this_o be_v the_o true_a preparation_n unto_o christ_n by_o the_o law_n say_v he_o rom._n 3.20_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n why_o that_o sin_n may_v be_v above_o measure_n sin_v for_o so_o he_o answer_v in_o the_o seven_o chapter_n and_o the_o thirteen_o verse_n the_o law_n than_o be_v put_v for_o cause_n of_o transgression_n that_o it_o may_v uncover_v they_o or_o as_o he_o say_v rom._n 5_o 20._o that_o it_o make_v they_o abound_v this_o manner_n of_o speech_n trouble_v

will_v please_v themselves_o in_o their_o evil_n if_o he_o shake_v of_o that_o numbness_n which_o overthrow_v all_o feel_n of_o his_o judgement_n if_o he_o draw_v out_o into_o the_o light_n sin_n which_o like_o a_o thief_n lie_v hide_v in_o the_o den_n of_o hypocrisy_n objection_n if_o any_o object_n and_o say_v whereas_o the_o law_n be_v a_o rule_n to_o live_v godly_a and_o right_o why_o be_v it_o say_v to_o be_v rather_o appoint_v for_o cause_n of_o transgression_n than_o for_o cause_n of_o obedience_n answer_n i_o answer_v howsoever_o it_o show_v true_a righteousness_n yet_o in_o this_o corruption_n of_o nature_n nothing_o but_o transgression_n be_v increase_v by_o the_o doctrine_n thereof_o until_o the_o spirit_n of_o regeneration_n come_v which_o write_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o this_o be_v not_o give_v by_o the_o law_n but_o be_v take_v by_o faith_n therefore_o the_o reader_n must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o this_o say_n of_o paul_n be_v not_o philosophical_a or_o political_a but_o that_o of_o the_o law_n it_o note_v the_o end_n which_o always_o have_v be_v unknown_a to_o the_o world_n until_o the_o seed_n come_v if_o he_o have_v respect_n of_o the_o seed_n in_o which_o the_o blessing_n have_v his_o foundation_n than_o do_v he_o take_v nothing_o away_o from_o the_o promise_n for_o this_o until_o be_v as_o much_o as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v in_o the_o mean_a space_n while_o the_o seed_n be_v look_v for_o whereof_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o law_n ought_v to_o serve_v and_o not_o to_o obtain_v the_o principality_n for_o so_o far_o forth_o it_o be_v appoint_v that_o it_o may_v raise_v man_n up_o to_o look_v and_o wait_v after_o christ_n objection_n but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o endure_v no_o long_o but_o to_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o follow_v that_o now_o it_o be_v abrogate_v and_o do_v away_o answer_n i_o answer_v that_o all_o that_o whole_a administration_n be_v but_o for_o a_o season_n because_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o that_o end_n that_o it_o may_v keep_v the_o old_a people_n in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n people_n the_o jew_n be_v call_v the_o old_a people_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o gentile_n who_o be_v god_n new_a people_n and_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o yield_v that_o by_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n the_o whole_a law_n be_v abrogate_v and_o do_v away_o neither_o mean_v the_o apostle_n so_o but_o only_o that_o that_o kind_n of_o government_n that_o come_v in_o between_o the_o promise_n and_o christ_n come_n shall_v take_v a_o end_n in_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o promise_n but_o i_o will_v speak_v more_o hereof_o by_o and_o by_o ordain_v by_o angel_n it_o belong_v to_o the_o commendation_n of_o the_o law_n that_o it_o be_v deliver_v by_o angel_n and_o steven_n affirm_v the_o same_o act_n 7.39_o for_o where_o as_o some_o understande_v by_o angel_n moses_n and_o aaron_n and_o the_o priest_n it_o be_v a_o point_n more_o niece_n then_o firm_a furthermore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o unto_o angel_n by_o who_o god_n do_v destribute_v all_o small_a thing_n unto_o we_o this_o office_n be_v also_o join_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v witness_n present_a at_o the_o set_n forth_o of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o mediator_n to_o take_v the_o hand_n for_o the_o ministry_n be_v a_o thing_n often_o use_v but_o whereas_o he_o make_v the_o angel_n minister_n of_o bring_v or_o set_v out_o of_o the_o law_n i_o take_v the_o hand_n of_o a_o mediator_n for_o the_o principality_n of_o the_o ministry_n because_o he_o be_v the_o principal_a of_o the_o embassade_n and_o have_v the_o angel_n adjoin_v unto_o he_o as_o companion_n or_o writer_n some_o think_v this_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o moses_n as_o though_o here_o shall_v be_v a_o comparison_n between_o moses_n and_o christ_n i_o be_o rather_o of_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o old_a writer_n who_o expound_v it_o of_o christ_n for_o it_o shall_v straight_a way_n appear_v that_o this_o sense_n agree_v better_a with_o the_o text_n although_o i_o disagree_v in_o like_a manner_n from_o the_o old_a writer_n in_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o name_n for_o a_o mediator_n in_o this_o place_n be_v not_o as_o they_o suppose_v a_o pacifier_n as_o in_o 1._o tim._n 2.5_o but_o a_o inty_a messenger_n in_o set_v forth_o the_o law_n thus_o must_v we_o account_v that_o there_o have_v be_v no_o communicate_v or_o conference_n of_o god_n with_o man_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n to_o this_o day_n but_o that_o his_o everlasting_a wisdom_n or_o son_n

must_v be_v expound_v by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n final_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o we_o be_v all_o accurse_a by_o nature_n the_o blessing_n be_v promise_v unto_o all_o nation_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o abraham_n but_o do_v all_o without_o acception_n come_v unto_o it_o no_o truelye_o but_o they_o only_a who_o be_v gather_v unto_o messiah_n for_o than_o be_v they_o one_o people_n when_o under_o the_o guidance_n and_o conduct_v of_o messiah_n they_o be_v gather_v together_o into_o one_o body_n whosoever_o therefore_o set_v apart_o contention_n and_o enquire_v after_o the_o truth_n will_v easy_o acknowledge_v a_o cause_n to_o be_v note_v in_o this_o place_n and_o not_o a_o naked_a comparison_n whereof_o it_o follow_v that_o paul_n not_o without_o cause_n do_v say_v that_o the_o covenaunt_n be_v begin_v in_o christ_n or_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n 17_o the_o law_n which_o begin_v if_o we_o harken_v to_o origen_n and_o hierome_n and_o all_o the_o papist_n there_o will_v be_v nothing_o ado_n to_o overthrow_v this_o reason_n for_o thus_o paul_n reason_v the_o promise_n be_v give_v to_o abraham_n four_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o year_n before_o the_o law_n be_v give_v therefore_o the_o law_n which_o come_v after_o can_v not_o put_v away_o the_o promise_n and_o thereof_o he_o conclude_v that_o ceremony_n be_v not_o necessary_a objection_n if_o any_o man_n will_v make_v exception_n say_v the_o sacrament_n be_v give_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o faith_n and_o why_o do_v paul_n than_o sunder_v they_o from_o the_o promise_n he_o do_v so_o sunder_v they_o that_o he_o contend_v about_o they_o answer_n therefore_o he_o do_v consider_v a_o certain_a high_a matter_n in_o ceremony_n as_o the_o effect_n of_o justification_n which_o the_o false_a apostle_n atttribute_v unto_o they_o and_o the_o bind_n of_o the_o conscience_n nay_o rather_o by_o occasion_n of_o ceremony_n he_o discourse_v of_o faith_n and_o work_n thorough_o to_o the_o uttermoste_a for_o be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o controversy_n about_o obtain_v of_o righteousness_n about_o merit_n of_o work_n and_o snare_a of_o the_o conscience_n ceremony_n will_v well_o stand_v with_o the_o promise_n what_o mean_v than_o this_o put_n away_o of_o the_o promise_n against_o which_o the_o apostle_n contend_v because_o the_o deceaver_n do_v deny_v salvation_n to_o have_v be_v promise_v free_o unto_o man_n and_o to_o be_v obtain_v by_o faith_n but_o they_o urge_v ceremony_n as_o thing_n necessary_a to_o deserve_v salvation_n as_o by_o &_o by_o shall_v be_v see_v i_o return_v to_o the_o word_n of_o paul_n the_o law_n say_v he_o be_v after_o the_o promise_n therefore_o it_o make_v not_o it_o void_a for_o a_o covenaunt_n once_o confirm_v aught_o to_o abide_v inviolate_a and_o unbroken_a again_o i_o repeat_v it_o except_o you_o understand_v the_o promise_n to_o be_v free_o give_v the_o sentence_n be_v more_o than_o needs_o for_o the_o law_n and_o the_o promise_n disagree_v not_o save_v in_o the_o cause_n of_o justification_n because_o the_o law_n make_v a_o man_n righteous_a by_o the_o deserve_a of_o work_n and_o the_o promise_n give_v righteousness_n free_o and_o he_o do_v playnelye_o expound_v himself_o when_o he_o name_v the_o covenaunt_n to_o have_v his_o foundation_n in_o christ_n objection_n but_o here_o the_o papist_n will_v be_v in_o our_o top_n for_o they_o can_v readilye_o scoff_n out_o this_o argument_n we_o say_v they_o do_v not_o any_o more_o require_v the_o old_a ceremony_n let_v they_o be_v jog_v yet_o nevertheless_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o this_o go_v before_o the_o covenaunte_n of_o god_n with_o abraham_n as_o be_v create_v together_o with_o man_n so_o either_o the_o reason_n of_o paul_n be_v frivolous_a or_o in_o vain_a or_o else_o it_o be_v of_o force_n against_o ceremony_n only_o i_o answer_v answer_v that_o paul_n consider_v the_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v namely_o that_o no_o reward_n be_v due_a unto_o work_n but_o by_o the_o covenante_n of_o god_n so_o although_o we_o grant_v that_o the_o law_n do_v justify_v yet_o nevertheless_o before_o the_o law_n man_n can_v not_o deserve_v salvation_n by_o their_o work_n because_o there_o be_v no_o covenaunt_n i_o affirm_v nothing_o which_o the_o school_n divine_n grant_v not_o for_o they_o teach_v that_o work_n merit_v not_o salvation_n by_o a_o inward_a worthiness_n but_o by_o the_o acceptation_n of_o god_n as_o they_o speak_v it_o &_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o covenant_n therefore_o where_o there_o be_v no_o covenant_n of_o god_n no_o testimony_n of_o accept_v or_o allow_v come_v in_o place_n no_o work_n in_o like_a manner_n shall_v suffice_v unto_o righteousness_n therefore_o paul_n discourse_n proceed_v final_o there_o be_v say_v he_o a_o double_a or_o twofold_a covenant_n of_o god_n with_o man_n the_o former_a be_v covenaunt_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o abraham_n the_o second_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n the_o former_a be_v found_v in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o free_a therefore_o the_o law_n step_v in_o can_v not_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o man_n can_v have_v salvation_n without_o grace_n because_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o promise_n shall_v be_v make_v of_o none_o effect_n that_o the_o sense_n be_v thus_o even_o that_o which_o follow_v next_o of_o all_o do_v show_v 18_o if_o the_o inheritance_n be_v by_o the_o law_n lest_o the_o adversary_n shall_v cavil_n say_v that_o that_o which_o they_o teach_v do_v not_o belong_v to_o the_o dissolve_v or_o abrogate_a the_o covenaunt_n of_o god_n he_o prevent_v all_o their_o shift_n affirm_v these_o two_o to_o be_v contrary_a namely_o that_o salvation_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o law_n and_o by_o the_o promise_n who_o dare_v expound_v this_o of_o only_a ceremony_n see_v that_o paul_n do_v comprehend_v general_o all_o whatsoever_o be_v against_o the_o free_a promise_n it_o be_v not_o than_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o he_o exclude_v all_o kind_n of_o work_n and_o so_o he_o say_v ro._n 4.14_o if_o the_o inheritance_n be_v by_o the_o law_n faith_n be_v do_v away_o and_o the_o promise_n of_o none_o effect_n why_o so_o because_o salvation_n shall_v hang_v upon_o this_o condition_n if_o thou_o satisfy_v the_o law_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v by_o and_o by_o conclude_v that_o salvation_n be_v of_o faith_n that_o the_o promise_n may_v be_v certain_a let_v we_o therefore_o diligent_o remember_v why_o in_o the_o compare_v of_o the_o promise_n and_o the_o law_n the_o put_n of_o the_o one_o overthrow_v the_o other_o namely_o because_o the_o promise_n have_v respect_n unto_o faith_n and_o the_o law_n have_v respect_n unto_o work_n faith_n receave_v that_o which_o be_v free_o give_v but_o unto_o work_n reward_n be_v give_v and_o that_o be_v it_o which_o by_o and_o by_o he_o join_v god_n give_v unto_o abraham_n not_o require_v the_o like_a recompense_n as_o it_o be_v but_o promise_v free_o for_o if_o you_o understande_v it_o to_o be_v conditional_o this_o word_n give_v will_n never_o agree_v with_o it_o 19_o for_o what_o be_v the_o law_n then_o it_o be_v add_v because_o of_o
