let_v i_o have_v my_o portion_n of_o good_a all_o in_o my_o own_o hand_n thus_o all_o mankind_n have_v be_v secure_v and_o not_o leave_v to_o the_o hazard_n of_o every_o single_a person_n betray_v himself_o for_o it_o be_v most_o apparent_a by_o adam_n what_o every_o one_o will_v have_v do_v he_o have_v all_o possible_a advantage_n in_o a_o fresh_a vigorous_a holiness_n a_o unstained_a world_n such_o a_o lively_a invitation_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n such_o a_o short_a act_n of_o self-denial_n or_o refuse_v to_o be_v a_o god_n to_o himself_o as_o he_o think_v to_o be_v by_o eat_v of_o that_o forbid_v fruit._n but_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o all_o this_o contribute_v to_o the_o point_n we_o be_v upon_o which_o will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v exceed_v in_o enlighten_v both_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n to_o we_o 1._o from_o hence_o it_o appear_v the_o law_n be_v a_o immutable_a and_o unchangeable_a law_n of_o holiness_n and_o of_o everlasting_a obligation_n while_o there_o be_v such_o a_o be_v humane_a nature_n for_o it_o arise_v from_o the_o be_v of_o god_n to_o be_v enjoy_v in_o holiness_n and_o blessedness_n by_o man_n make_v so_o to_o enjoy_v and_o it_o arise_v from_o the_o image_n of_o god_n jesus_n christ_n in_o and_o by_o who_o that_o state_n be_v to_o have_v be_v confirm_v and_o so_o for_o ever_o enjoy_v and_o by_o who_o it_o be_v to_o be_v so_o recover_v 2._o from_o hence_o it_o appear_v there_o can_v be_v no_o new_a law_n but_o what_o must_v of_o necessity_n entwine_v and_o incorporate_v into_o that_o first_o law_n and_o merge_n into_o it_o so_o adequate_a to_o the_o be_v of_o man_n enjoy_v the_o holy_a and_o bless_a god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n the_o image_n of_o god_n such_o be_v that_o law_n of_o not_o eat_v the_o forbid_v fruit_n it_o be_v a_o law_n of_o trust_n in_o christ_n the_o image_n of_o god_n the_o way_n and_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n by_o way_n of_o confirmation_n and_o so_o be_v immediate_o adopt_a into_o that_o law_n of_o righteousnoss_n and_o holiness_n the_o law_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n the_o redeemer_n and_o of_o repentance_n be_v in_o this_o sense_n no_o new_a law_n but_o that_o old_a commandment_n and_o a_o new_a commandment_n only_o by_o be_v new_o illustrate_v by_o a_o more_o glorious_a light_n but_o it_o unite_v with_o that_o law_n first_o give_v of_o holiness_n in_o and_o by_o christ_n the_o image_n of_o god_n for_o the_o enjoy_n god_n in_o conformity_n to_o he_o now_o in_o away_o of_o redemption_n expiation_n and_o recovery_n and_o thereby_o a_o return_n to_o our_o first_o state_n according_a to_o the_o first_o law_n 3._o from_o hence_o it_o appear_v the_o everlasting_a covenant_n of_o god_n in_o predestinate_v a_o number_n of_o mankind_n to_o be_v conform_v to_o the_o image_n of_o his_o son_n can_v be_v disannul_v or_o add_v to_o nor_o take_v from_o by_o any_o dispensation_n or_o manner_n of_o speak_v that_o come_v after_o it_o according_a to_o that_o forementioned_a rule_n of_o the_o apostle_n gal._n 4._o 3._o understanding_n it_o of_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n control_v all_o doubt_n so_o that_o what_o christ_n be_v to_o do_v as_o the_o image_n of_o god_n by_o way_n of_o confirmation_n he_o now_o do_v by_o way_n of_o redemption_n by_o that_o mighty_a eflectuate_a image_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n by_o his_o spirit_n 4._o from_o hence_o it_o appear_v that_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o first_o and_o original_n right_o of_o be_v the_o head_n of_o every_o man_n and_o the_o image_n of_o the_o invisible_a god_n by_o who_o and_o for_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v and_o without_o who_o nothing_o be_v make_v that_o be_v make_v and_o in_o who_o they_o consist_v uphold_v a_o present_a state_n of_o the_o world_n in_o the_o patience_n and_o long-suffering_a of_o god_n and_o also_o bear_v up_o as_o he_o please_v the_o natural_a law_n in_o which_o man_n be_v make_v enforce_v the_o reasonableness_n justice_n and_o equity_n to_o turn_v by_o repentance_n to_o that_o god_n who_o leave_v not_o himself_o without_o witness_n in_o give_v fruitful_a time_n and_o season_n and_o fill_v man_n heart_n with_o food_n and_o gladness_n and_o so_o signify_v grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o to_o recover_v themselves_o as_o far_o as_o to_o the_o utmost_a they_o can_v to_o that_o state_n of_o righteousness_n of_o which_o they_o find_v such_o plain_a mention_n of_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o find_v the_o shortness_n of_o their_o own_o power_n to_o cast_v themselves_o upon_o divine_a grace_n and_o help_v and_o where_o the_o light_n of_o the_o glorious_a gospel_n come_v according_a to_o all_o degree_n of_o divine_a revelation_n the_o obligation_n rise_v high_a and_o become_v strong_a for_o the_o transgression_n and_o ruin_n of_o humane_a nature_n do_v not_o take_v off_o the_o obligation_n of_o duty_n but_o it_o stand_v wherein_o soever_o god_n do_v not_o immediate_o execute_v the_o penalty_n or_o vouchsafe_v any_o remainder_n of_o power_n at_o first_o give_v or_o increase_v and_o advantage_n of_o that_o remainder_n and_o wherein_o soever_o man_n do_v not_o thus_o there_o be_v a_o just_a particular_a personal_a condemnation_n but_o yet_o it_o remain_v according_a to_o the_o first_o standard_n law_n of_o creation_n every_o man_n must_v be_v miserable_a for_o ever_o and_o die_v the_o death_n whoever_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n in_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o he_o 5._o from_o hence_o it_o last_o appear_v the_o elect_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v perfect_o restore_v into_o a_o state_n of_o righteousness_n and_o freedom_n from_o gild_n into_o a_o state_n of_o holiness_n and_o purity_n for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n and_o see_v this_o can_v be_v in_o man_n fall_v sinful_a unholy_a and_o so_o miserable_a for_o ever_o it_o must_v be_v by_o the_o sacrifice_n righteousness_n and_o obedience_n of_o christ_n impute_v by_o the_o restoration_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o all_o according_a to_o grace_n and_o riches_n of_o grace_n and_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o that_o grace_n which_o adam_n first_o refuse_v but_o be_v hereby_o exalt_v to_o a_o far_o high_a glory_n by_o jesus_n christ_n appear_v thus_o a_o redeemer_n a_o reconciler_n a_o eternal_a spirit_n so_o close_o unite_v and_o full_o declare_v in_o redemption_n for_o the_o lord_n even_o christ_n and_o his_o increated_a spirit_n be_v that_o spirit_n change_v into_o his_o own_o image_n from_o glory_n to_o glory_n by_o that_o spirit_n who_o be_v himself_o jehovah_n that_o i_o may_v now_o make_v a_o near_a approach_n to_o resolve_v this_o great_a and_o weighty_a question_n whether_o the_o gospel_n can_v be_v in_o true_a proper_a and_o strict_a sense_n style_v a_o law_n i_o will_v now_o propose_v these_o two_o head_n to_o discourse_v it_o upon_o 1._o i_o will_v show_v how_o far_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v a_o law_n must_v yet_o needs_o join_v its_o authority_n for_o and_o with_o the_o gospel_n according_a to_o its_o eternal_o holy_a and_o righteous_a nature_n and_o then_o i_o will_v on_o the_o other_o side_n show_v how_o far_o the_o gospel_n without_o any_o abatement_n of_o its_o pure_a gospel-nature_n make_v use_n of_o the_o law_n as_o a_o most_o righteous_a holy_a law_n to_o its_o own_o most_o graoious_a ends._n 2._o i_o shall_v make_v it_o yet_o most_o evident_a from_o scripture_n that_o the_o law_n can_v never_o as_o it_o be_v law_n in_o the_o scripture_n defining_n and_o discourse_n of_o it_o become_v gospel_n nor_o on_o the_o other_o side_n can_v the_o gospel_n as_o it_o be_v gospel_n and_o draw_v out_o according_a to_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n pass_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o law_n according_a to_o scripture_n describe_v of_o law_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o head_n to_o show_v how_o far_o the_o law_n can_v even_o as_o law_n but_o join_v its_o authority_n to_o the_o gospel_n 1._o that_o the_o law_n of_o reason_n and_o understanding_n of_o righteousness_n holiness_n goodness_n that_o god_n have_v engrave_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o seat_v in_o his_o conscience_n can_v but_o establish_v the_o revelation_n of_o christ_n and_o grace_n by_o he_o manifest_v by_o such_o a_o mighty_a power_n from_o heaven_n and_o assert_v by_o so_o many_o infallible_a proof_n to_o be_v from_o god_n so_o full_a of_o goodness_n and_o grace_n above_o the_o very_a law_n of_o creation_n itself_o implant_v in_o man_n heart_n it_o can_v i_o say_v but_o establish_v it_o as_o a_o faithful_a say_v and_o worthy_a of_o all_o acceptation_n of_o both_o faith_n love_n and_o obedience_n so_o that_o in_o this_o very_a regard_n it_o may_v be_v true_o and_o proper_o style_v a_o law_n of_o faith_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o gospel_n
