A81727 Gospel-Glory proclaimed before the sonnes of men, in the visible and invisible worship of God. Wherein the mystery of God in Christ, and his royall, spirituall government over the soules and bodies of his saints, is clearly discovered, plainly asserted, and faithfully vindicated, against the deceiver and his servants, who endeavour the cessation thereof, upon what pretence soever. / By Edward Drapes, an unworthy servant in the gospell of Christ. Drapes, Edward. 1648 (1648) Wing D2139; Thomason E472_27; ESTC R205811 164,938 187

charge_v the_o law_n upon_o he_o whereby_o the_o soul_n begin_v to_o fear_v again_o and_o be_v ready_a to_o qestion_v whether_o christ_n have_v tell_v he_o so_o as_o he_o do_v before_o believe_v and_o now_o he_o cry_v out_o for_o his_o pardon_n that_o the_o bond_n may_v be_v take_v out_o of_o his_o way_n that_o he_o may_v be_v set_v at_o liberty_n through_o the_o manifestation_n of_o christ_n love_n yea_o i_o say_v far_o a_o man_n that_o have_v obtain_v a_o pardon_n from_o his_o prience_n may_v be_v attach_v for_o the_o same_o offence_n and_o now_o may_v desire_v in_o confidence_n that_o his_o surety_n in_o who_o hand_n the_o pardon_n be_v to_o give_v it_o he_o that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v set_v at_o liberty_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o satan_n many_o time_n assault_v the_o soul_n and_o trouble_v it_o and_o then_o many_o a_o soul_n in_o faith_n ask_v his_o pardon_n or_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o pardon_n that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v free_v from_o satan_n buffet_n and_o thus_o in_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v frequent_a to_o ask_v the_o thing_n produce_v a_o benefit_n for_o the_o effect_n sake_n as_o for_o instance_n we_o may_v desire_v to_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n when_o we_o mean_v the_o benefit_n that_o redound_v to_o we_o from_o it_o so_o that_o the_o sum_n and_o substance_n of_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v first_o that_o sin_n be_v full_o satisfy_v for_o by_o christ_n death_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o shall_v never_o be_v charge_v upon_o a_o saint_n which_o pardon_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n for_o he_o second_o that_o sin_n lie_v in_o the_o conscience_n till_o believe_v and_o when_o the_o soul_n believe_v be_v forgiveness_n give_v to_o he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v publish_v make_v manifest_a and_o declare_v three_o that_o though_o he_o may_v be_v free_v yet_o be_v in_o trouble_n or_o fear_v again_o for_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o faith_n such_o be_v his_o assurance_n and_o consolation_n &_o then_o he_o may_v pray_v for_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o full_a assurance_n of_o it_o and_o may_v ask_v for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n as_o it_o include_v his_o right_n to_o be_v free_v from_o trouble_n or_o wrath_n for_o they_o any_o more_o so_o that_o i_o say_v all_o sin_n be_v pardon_v in_o the_o sense_n i_o have_v already_o declare_v past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v you_o say_v that_o a_o saint_n after_o believe_v may_v fear_v again_o which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a object_n why_o do_v the_o apostle_n say_v we_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n again_o to_o fear_v in_o answer_n to_o this_o we_o must_v know_v paul_n be_v not_o there_o go_v about_o sol._n to_o tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o fear_v again_o but_o his_o intent_n be_v there_o to_o hold_v forth_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n engender_v to_o fear_v that_o they_o have_v receive_v through_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o they_o can_v cry_v abba_n father_n and_o therefore_o the_o same_o apostle_n demand_v of_o the_o galathian_o whether_o they_o receive_v the_o spirit_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n or_o by_o the_o hear_n of_o faith_n command_v they_o to_o hold_v fast_o their_o liberty_n and_o not_o to_o be_v entangle_v with_o the_o

subtlety_n of_o deceiver_n preach_v the_o law_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v so_o far_o as_o we_o be_v subject_a to_o be_v in_o bondage_n to_o fear_v so_o far_o we_o run_v to_o the_o law_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n produce_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n jesus_n to_o conclude_v this_o chapter_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o three_o prevail_a argument_n or_o scripture_n reason_n to_o prove_v that_o all_o sin_n past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v in_o the_o sense_n before_o explain_v be_v pardon_v 1._o if_o all_o a_o believer_n sin_n be_v not_o pardon_v at_o once_o he_o may_v be_v arg._n 1_o true_o in_o the_o state_n of_o wrath_n and_o condemnation_n after_o believe_v but_o i_o say_v believer_n be_v not_o at_o all_o true_o in_o the_o state_n of_o wrath_n or_o condemnation_n therefore_o all_o their_o sin_n be_v pardon_v etc._n etc._n the_o first_o proposition_n be_v manifest_a if_o you_o do_v but_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v not_o to_o have_v sin_n pardon_v it_o be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o wrath_n or_o condemnation_n for_o he_o be_v bless_v who_o sin_n be_v cover_v or_o pardon_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n prove_v the_o second_o say_v there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n if_o all_o sin_n be_v not_o pardon_v at_o once_o than_o some_o be_v not_o cover_v arg._n 2_o which_o be_v evident_a if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o cover_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o pardon_v of_o sin_n bless_a be_v the_o man_n who_o iniquity_n be_v cover_v if_o sin_n be_v always_o cover_v it_o be_v bury_v and_o so_o incapable_a of_o rise_v up_o against_o we_o and_o so_o if_o not_o pardon_v it_o be_v not_o cover_v but_o all_o their_o sin_n be_v always_o cover_v which_o appear_v in_o that_o when_o christ_n die_v he_o carry_v they_o away_o in_o his_o own_o body_n in_o to_o a_o land_n of_o oblivion_n that_o god_n say_v i_o will_v remember_v their_o sin_n no_o more_o christ_n be_v our_o propitiation_n all_o

lord_n arg._n 3_o then_o may_v some_o be_v lay_v to_o his_o charge_n which_o be_v evident_a of_o itself_o for_o the_o pardon_n be_v the_o acquittance_n or_o discharge_v from_o sin_n but_o none_o can_v be_v lay_v to_o their_o charge_n therefore_o say_v paul_n who_o shall_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o charge_n of_o god_n elect_n nothing_o can_v charge_v a_o believer_n except_o it_o be_v the_o

the_o law_n give_v to_o adam_n or_o the_o law_n give_v on_o mount_n sinai_n it_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o to_o know_v those_o two_o dispensation_n the_o one_o by_o god_n to_o adam_n and_o all_o the_o
