which_o have_v no_o precept_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n if_o we_o once_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o obedience_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o must_v by_o

it_o be_v unconceivable_a how_o they_o can_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o gospel_n if_o it_o have_v no_o preceptive_a command_a authority_n over_o their_o conscience_n for_o subjection_n be_v relative_a

be_v subject_a to_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o without_o all_o precept_n but_o it_o have_v a_o preceptive_a command_a authority_n over_o they_o to_o which_o they_o be_v

be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o disobedience_n to_o the_o gospel_n for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o gospel_n law_n or_o precept_n there_o can_v be_v no_o transgression_n against_o the_o gospel_n this_o

some_o precept_n which_o be_v to_o be_v demonstrate_v and_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o moral_a law_n command_v obedience_n to_o the_o gospel_n i_o answer_v be_v it_o so_o that_o be_v so_o far_o from_o weaken_v that_o it_o rather_o strengthen_v the_o argument_n for_o if_o it_o command_v obedience_n to_o the_o gospel_n than_o it_o command_v obedience_n to_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o without_o the_o gospel_n have_v some_o precept_n there_o may_v indeed_o be_v obedience_n to_o the_o law_n in_o other_o thing_n but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o obedience_n to_o the_o gospel_n at_o

be_v absurd_a to_o affirm_v of_o the_o just_a law_n of_o the_o infinite_o wise_a god_n therefore_o from_o the_o moral_a law_n its_o oblige_v we_o to_o obey_v the_o gospel_n it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o gospel_n have_v some_o precept_n to_o be_v obey_v a_o five_o testimony_n we_o have_v in_o tit._n 2.11_o 12._o where_o it_o be_v write_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o bring_v

this_o scripture_n we_o be_v to_o observe_v two_o thing_n 1._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o bring_v salvation_n and_o which_o have_v appear_v unto_o all_o man_n or_o

gospel_n require_v repentance_n of_o we_o in_o order_n to_o pardon_v of_o sin_n seem_v to_o be_v like_o those_o of_o who_o lactantius_n of_o old_a in_o the_o seven_o book_n and_o first_o chapter_n

with_o their_o write_n because_o after_o melancthon_n they_o hold_v faith_n to_o be_v a_o essential_a part_n yea_o to_o be_v the_o essentiate_a form_n of_o evangelical_n repentance_n i_o be_o not_o indeed_o of_o their_o mind_n in_o this_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o though_o faith_n be_v not_o the_o very_a essential_a form_n itself_o of_o evangelical_n repentance_n yet_o it_o

co-existent_a and_o influential_a the_o one_o upon_o the_o other_o and_o that_o calvin_n believe_v as_o we_o do_v that_o the_o gospel_n require_v of_o we_o evangelical_n repentance_n in_o order_n to_o

the_o gospel_n require_v nothing_o but_o that_o man_n bring_v faith_n to_o receive_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o make_v altogether_o for_o we_o for_o 1._o here_o calvin_n say_v

say_v that_o the_o gospel_n require_v nothing_o but_o faith_n to_o receive_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o so_o we_o say_v the_o very_a same_o thing_n for_o we_o have_v tell_v the_o world_n in_o

save_a conversion_n unto_o god_n that_o be_v

say_a duty_n from_o all_o which_o i_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o justin_n believe_v the_o christian_a constitution_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v not_o only_o a_o new_a testament_n but_o a_o new-covenant_n also_o and_o a_o new-law_n of_o grace_n and_o this_o he_o affirm_v that_o all_o man_n may_v know_v it_o to_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d by_o the_o powerful_a grace_n of_o god_n

since_o daille_n who_o be_v better_o acquaint_v with_o they_o say_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o make_v they_o judge_n in_o many_o of_o the_o controversy_n between_o we_o and_o the_o papist_n and_o yet_o the_o late_a question_n concern_v the_o new-law_n be_v a_o more_o nice_a point_n i_o answer_v that_o i_o free_o confess_v myself_o to_o be_v nothing_o if_o compare_v with_o the_o great_a daille_n in_o that_o or_o any_o other_o part_n of_o learning_n yet_o i_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o learn_v of_o daille_n and_o he_o teach_v i_o that_o though_o we_o be_v not_o to_o make_v they_o

needs_o broach_v doctrine_n devise_v of_o their_o own_o head_n which_o be_v not_o at_o all_o ground_a upon_o any_o principle_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o ancient_n may_v very_o proper_o and_o seasonable_o be_v make_v use_n of_o against_o the_o impudence_n of_o these_o man_n by_o show_v that_o the_o father_n be_v utter_o ignorant_a of_o any_o such_o fancy_n as_o these_o man_n propose_v to_o the_o world_n and_o if_o this_o can_v be_v prove_v we_o ought_v then_o certain_o to_o conclude_v that_o no_o such_o doctrine_n be_v ever_o preach_v to_o mankind_n either_o by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n or_o by_o his_o apostle_n for_o what_o probability_n be_v there_o that_o those_o holy_a doctor_n of_o former_a age_n from_o

to_o wit_n new-law_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o new_a but_o be_v use_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o a_o good_a sense_n and_o meaning_n long_o before_o we_o be_v bear_v this_o be_v the_o thing_n for_o the_o proof_n whereof_o we_o allege_v the_o testimony_n of_o those_o few_o ancient_a father_n and_o we_o be_v still_o persuade_v upon_o good_a ground_n that_o they_o speak_v home_o to_o the_o

through_o ignorance_n or_o malice_n both_o of_o use_v new_a word_n and_o of_o preach_v a_o new_a and_o heretical_a gospel_n and_o thereby_o if_o possible_a to_o convince_v our_o brethren_n that_o they_o be_v quite_o out_o and_o that_o we_o be_v no_o such_o person_n as_o they_o proclaim_v we_o to_o be_v that_o we_o use_v no_o other_o word_n nor_o preach_v any_o other_o doctrine_n than_o what_o

the_o law_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o he_o thereby_o mean_v only_o that_o due_a discipline_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a that_o cyprian_a there_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o gospel_n mean_v christ_n law_n of_o discipline_n institute_v in_o the_o gospel_n but_o than_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o the_o say_a law_n of_o
