that_o no_o man_n be_v exempt_v but_o all_o be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n and_o as_o he_o say_v speak_v of_o the_o talent_n mat._n 25.15_o etc._n etc._n that_o to_o every_o man_n be_v give_v a_o

but_o just_a for_o he_o to_o give_v a_o account_n thereof_o according_a to_o his_o measure_n that_o answer_v the_o lord_n who_o have_v give_v he_o his_o measure_n according_a to_o his_o ability_n therein_o be_v his_o judgement_n just_o and_o god_n be_v righteous_a in_o his_o judgement_n who_o reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n and_o his_o word_n for_o which_o he_o must_v

law_n to_o keep_v a_o society_n in_o it_o and_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v rom._n 1.19_o 20._o concern_v the_o heathen_a gentile_n that_o that_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v manifest_a in_o they_o for_o god_n have_v show_v it_o unto_o they_o and_o further_o say_v he_o for_o the_o invisible_a thing_n from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v clear_o see_v etc._n etc._n that_o be_v to_o say_v his_o eternal-power_n and_o godhead_n be_v see_v forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o they_o be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n because_o when_o they_o know_v god_n they_o glorify_v he_o not_o as_o god_n now_o mark_v here_o you_o see_v it_o be_v plain_a that_o here_o be_v something_o of_o god_n in_o the_o heathen_n by_o which_o they_o know_v god_n which_o god_n have_v manifest_v to_o they_o by_o which_o they_o may_v answer_v the_o royal_a law_n of_o god_n but_o when_o they_o go_v from_o this_o of_o god_n in_o they_o and_o glorify_v he_o not_o as_o god_n than_o they_o set_v up_o their_o own_o worship_n and_o way_n and_o lose_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o do_v thing_n against_o nature_n so_o here_o they_o forsake_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o way_n and_o religion_n and_o then_o persecute_v other_o that_o will_v not_o follow_v they_o and_o their_o way_n and_o worship_n and_o so_o break_v the_o royal_a society_n which_o be_v in_o the_o royal_a law_n go_v from_o that_o of_o god_n in_o they_o which_o shall_v answer_v it_o and_o then_o you_o may_v see_v downward_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n what_o they_o worship_v and_o what_o they_o follow_v and_o how_o they_o bring_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o and_o how_o they_o hold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n which_o be_v fill_v with_o all_o manner_n of_o evil_n which_o man_n though_o they_o know_v that_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o such_o as_o commit_v such_o thing_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o regard_n god_n but_o be_v without_o natural_a affection_n so_o here_o when_o they_o err_v from_o that_o of_o god_n in_o they_o they_o lose_v natural_a affection_n affection_n of_o nature_n to_o they_o that_o be_v of_o the_o same_o blood_n and_o mould_n and_o also_o go_v from_o that_o of_o god_n in_o they_o they_o go_v from_o the_o royal_a law_n of_o god_n which_o shall_v have_v keep_v they_o in_o natural_a affection_n and_o in_o a_o royal_a society_n by_o the_o royal_a law_n and_o so_o thereby_o indignation_n and_o wrath_n and_o anguish_n come_v upon_o every_o soul_n of_o they_o that_o do_v evil_a of_o the_o jew_n first_o and_o also_o of_o the_o gentile_n signify_v thereby_o that_o there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o gentile_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o jew_n to_o which_o if_o they_o act_v contrary_a they_o go_v from_o the_o royal_a law_n and_o so_o bring_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o who_o reward_v every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o work_n for_o the_o jew_n that_o have_v the_o law_n the_o outward_a write_a law_n and_o the_o gentile_n that_o have_v not_o the_o outward_a write_a law_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o write_a law_n which_o show_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n so_o according_a to_o this_o the_o lord_n shall_v judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n by_o christ_n jesus_n according_a to_o the_o gospel_n now_o the_o gentile_n have_v the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o do_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n the_o jew_n have_v the_o outward_a write_a law_n and_o not_o do_v the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o write_a law_n the_o gentile_n be_v judge_n over_o they_o that_o be_v the_o gentile_n be_v set_v over_o they_o now_o here_o its_o plain_a that_o there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o gentile_n as_o also_o in_o the_o jew_n to_o answer_v the_o royal_a law_n of_o god_n which_o shall_v bring_v they_o to_o do_v if_o they_o will_v but_o obey_v it_o to_o all_o man_n as_o they_o will_v have_v they_o do_v unto_o they_o and_o to_o keep_v both_o the_o natural_a affection_n and_o royal_a society_n for_o now_o if_o they_o that_o be_v call_v christian_n who_o have_v a_o write_a gospel_n and_o be_v transgressor_n of_o it_o as_o the_o jew_n that_o have_v a_o write_a law_n and_o be_v not_o the_o keeper_n and_o the_o doer_n of_o it_o whereby_o the_o gentile_n judge_v they_o that_o do_v not_o the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n have_v the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o be_v the_o doer_n of_o it_o so_o likewise_o now_o in_o our_o ag●●_n as_o be_v say_v before_o all_o christian_n that_o have_v a_o write_a gospel_n and_o do_v not_o the_o thing_n contain_v in_o it_o these_o who_o they_o call_v heathen_n or_o indian_n or_o turk_n that_o do_v the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o gospel_n viz._n the_o obey_n of_o the_o power_n and_o spirit_n which_o lead_v they_o to_o do_v unto_o all_o man_n as_o they_o will_v have_v they_o do_v unto_o they_o these_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o christian_n so_o call_v who_o say_v they_o have_v the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o do_v it_o not_o and_o do_v to_o other_o those_o thing_n that_o they_o will_v not_o have_v other_o do_v unto_o they_o these_o i_o say_v be_v breaker_n of_o the_o royal_a law_n christian_n in_o the_o first_o place_n be_v judge_v before_o the_o heathen_a and_o as_o the_o jew_n first_o and_o then_o the_o gentile_n so_o the_o christian_n first_o and_o then_o the_o heathen_a and_o so_o god_n be_v a_o respecter_n of_o no_o man_n person_n who_o judge_n the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n but_o be_v a_o rewarder_n according_a to_o every_o one_o work_n who_o walk_v not_o according_a to_o his_o royal_a law_n of_o liberty_n and_o so_o its_o clear_a that_o there_o be_v something_o of_o god_n in_o all_o jew_n and_o gentile_n christian_n and_o heathen_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o answer_v that_o royal_a law_n and_o to_o follow_v it_o and_o not_o their_o own_o imagination_n through_o which_o they_o may_v come_v to_o natural_a affection_n and_o do_v unto_o all_o man_n as_o thou_o will_v have_v they_o do_v unto_o thou_o so_o god_n i_o say_v be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n who_o judge_n the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n for_o the_o apostle_n say_v if_o the_o uncircumcision_n which_o by_o nature_n keep_v the_o law_n judge_v the_o jew_n which_o be_v under_o the_o letter_n of_o circumcision_n and_o do_v transgress_v the_o law_n so_o i_o say_v they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o letter_n of_o christianity_n and_o do_v transgress_v the_o letter_n of_o christianity_n he_o that_o have_v not_o the_o letter_n as_o christian_n have_v and_o yet_o by_o nature_n do_v keep_v in_o the_o law_n of_o christianity_n judge_v the_o christian_n and_o that_o that_o be_v set_v up_o in_o they_o and_o therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o be_v not_o a_o jew_n that_o be_v one_o outward_a neither_o be_v he_o a_o christian_n that_o be_v one_o outward_a in_o profession_n without_o possession_n but_o he_o be_v a_o jew_n that_o be_v one_o inward_a in_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o the_o letter_n and_o so_o he_o be_v a_o christian_n that_o be_v one_o inward_a and_o not_o in_o the_o letter_n a_o letter_n professor_n but_o one_o who_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n jesus_n though_o the_o outward_a letter_n professor_n of_o jew_n and_o christian_n have_v something_o of_o god_n in_o he_o which_o shall_v lead_v he_o to_o obey_v that_o which_o he_o do_v profess_v and_o to_o possess_v that_o which_o he_o do_v profess_v for_o that_o have_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o man_n and_o in_o rom._n 3.9_o say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n what_o better_a be_v the_o jew_n then_o

to_o the_o divine_a and_o natural_a affection_n and_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n in_o 1_o cor._n 13._o be_v very_o remarkable_a where_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o love_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v

and_o be_v not_o courteous_a and_o kind_a which_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n now_o love_n seek_v not_o her_o own_o nor_o be_v she_o easy_o provoke_v think_v no_o evil_a now_o they_o that_o
