and_o it_o be_v probable_a now_o if_o christ_n be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o law_n as_o a_o covenant_n the_o antinomian_a distinction_n must_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n that_o make_v the_o law_n as_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n and_o not_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n whereas_o on_o mount_n sinai_n the_o law_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n 6._o if_o the_o law_n be_v the_o same_o covenant_n with_o that_o oath_n which_o argum._n 6_o god_n make_v to_o isaac_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n but_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n when_o he_o give_v this_o law_n to_o they_o make_v it_o a_o argument_n of_o his_o love_n and_o grace_n to_o they_o and_o therefore_o remember_v what_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o abraham_n deut._n 7._o 12._o wherefore_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v if_o you_o harken_v to_o these_o judgement_n and_o do_v they_o that_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n shall_v keep_v unto_o thou_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o mercy_n which_o he_o swear_v unto_o thy_o father_n and_o certain_o if_o the_o law_n have_v be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n god_n have_v full_o abrogate_a and_o break_a his_o covenant_n and_o promise_n of_o grace_n which_o he_o make_v with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n therefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n gal._n 3._o 18._o oppose_v the_o law_n and_o the_o promise_v together_o make_v the_o inheritance_n by_o one_o and_o not_o the_o other_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v according_a to_o the_o distinction_n before_o mention_v of_o the_o law_n take_v in_o a_o most_o strict_a and_o limit_a sense_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o moses_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o this_o law_n have_v regard_n to_o the_o covenant_n and_o promise_n yea_o make_v it_o the_o same_o with_o it_o now_o to_o all_o this_o there_o be_v strong_a objection_n make_v from_o those_o answer_v objection_n impugn_v the_o former_a argument_n answer_v place_n of_o scripture_n where_o the_o law_n and_o faith_n or_o the_o promise_n

of_o death_n and_o to_o work_v wrath_n now_o to_o these_o place_n i_o answer_v these_o thing_n first_o that_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v rigid_o and_o universal_o true_a than_o that_o doctrine_n of_o the_o socinian_o will_v plain_o prevail_v who_o from_o these_o place_n of_o scripture_n do_v urge_v that_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n or_o faith_n nor_o nothing_o of_o christ_n vouchsafe_v unto_o the_o

it_o work_v death_n so_o the_o gospel_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o savour_n of_o death_n and_o man_n be_v say_v to_o have_v no_o sin_n if_o christ_n have_v not_o come_v yea_o they_o be_v say_v to_o partake_v of_o more_o grievous_a judgement_n who_o despise_v christ_n than_o those_o that_o despise_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n so_o that_o this_o effect_n of_o the_o law_n be_v mere_o accidental_a through_o our_o corruption_n only_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n god_n do_v not_o vouchsafe_v any_o such_o grace_n as_o whereby_o we_o can_v have_v justification_n in_o a_o strict_a legal_a way_n but_o he_o do_v whereby_o we_o may_v obtain_v it_o in_o a_o evangelicall_n way_n three_o consider_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v these_o derogatory_n passage_n as_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v as_o well_o of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n yet_o all_o do_v acknowledge_v here_o be_v christ_n and_o grace_n hold_v forth_o four_o much_o of_o these_o place_n be_v true_a in_o a_o respective_a sense_n according_a to_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o take_v these_o without_o christ_n make_v it_o a_o kill_a letter_n even_o as_o if_o we_o shall_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n without_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n and_o certain_o if_o any_o jew_n have_v stand_v up_o and_o say_v to_o moses_n why_o do_v you_o say_v you_o give_v we_o the_o doctrine_n of_o life_n it_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o kill_a letter_n and_o the_o ministry_n of_o death_n will_v he_o not_o have_v be_v judge_v a_o blasphemer_n against_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n the_o apostle_n therefore_o must_v understand_v it_o as_o separated_z yea_o and_o oppose_v to_o christ_n and_o his_o grace_n and_o last_o we_o be_v still_o to_o retain_v that_o distinction_n of_o the_o law_n in_o a_o more_o large_a sense_n as_o deliver_v by_o moses_n and_o a_o more_o strict_a sense_n as_o it_o consist_v in_o precept_n threaten_n and_o promise_n upon_o a_o condition_n impossible_a to_o we_o which_o be_v the_o

of_o it_o from_o whence_o in_o this_o verse_n he_o infer_v a_o conclusion_n against_o all_o boast_n in_o a_o man_n self_n which_o he_o manage_v by_o short_a interrogation_n that_o so_o he_o may_v the_o more_o subdue_v that_o self_n confidence_n in_o we_o where_o be_v boast_v say_v he_o this_o be_v to_o be_v apply_v universal_o both_o to_o jew_n and_o gentile_n but_o especial_o to_o the_o jew_n who_o glory_v most_o herein_o and_o chrysostome_n make_v this_o the_o reason_n why_o christ_n defer_v so_o long_o and_o put_v off_o his_o come_n in_o the_o flesh_n viz._n that_o our_o humane_a pride_n may_v be_v debase_v for_o if_o at_o first_o he_o have_v come_v unto_o we_o man_n will_v not_o have_v find_v such_o a_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o a_o saviour_n the_o second_o question_n be_v by_o what_o law_n boast_v be_v exclude_v and_o this_o be_v answer_v first_o negative_o not_o by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n second_o positive_o by_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n the_o apostle_n by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n mean_v the_o doctrine_n of_o work_n prescribe_v they_o as_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o salvation_n and_o he_o say_v work_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n because_o

and_o endear_v the_o gospel_n to_o the_o jew_n by_o give_v it_o a_o name_n which_o they_o love_v or_o as_o beza_n he_o speak_v here_o mimetical_o according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o when_o john_n 6._o he_o call_v faith_n a_o work_n because_o the_o jew_n ask_v what_o shall_v they_o do_v now_o we_o have_v in_o the_o scripture_n two_o lively_a comment_n upon_o both_o these_o part_n of_o the_o text._n the_o pharisee_n mention_v what_o he_o do_v reckon_v up_o his_o work_n and_o never_o name_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v a_o boaster_n by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n but_o the_o

here_o in_o the_o text_n those_o text._n the_o papist_n corrupt_o gloss_n upon_o this_o text._n which_o go_v before_o faith_n and_o they_o quote_v a_o good_a rule_n out_o of_o gregory_n though_o to_o

faith_n to_o work_n but_o this_o gloss_n of_o they_o corrupt_v the_o text_n because_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o controversy_n instance_v in_o abraham_n show_v how_o he_o have_v not_o wherewith_o to_o glory_v in_o himself_o and_o therefore_o by_o believe_v give_v glory_n to_o god_n if_o you_o ask_v why_o work_n do_v imply_v boast_v though_o we_o be_v enable_v thereunto_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o answer_n be_v ready_a because_o we_o attribute_v justification_n to_o that_o work_n of_o grace_n within_o we_o which_o yet_o be_v defective_a that_o be_v whole_o to_o be_v give_v

hence_o when_o one_o volusianus_n object_v to_o he_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o agree_v to_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n he_o answer_v by_o compare_v the_o precept_n of_o christ_n with_o that_o of_o caesar_n that_o he_o use_v to_o forget_v nothing_o but_o injury_n now_o this_o do_v not_o indeed_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o scope_n of_o our_o saviour_n here_o who_o be_v give_v rule_n to_o private_a christian_n not_o to_o public_a magistrate_n now_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o distinction_n as_o this_o appear_v plain_a thus_o paul_n rom._n 12._o 18._o exhort_v christian_n not_o to_o avenge_v themselves_o because_o vengeance_n belong_v to_o god_n yet_o chap._n 13._o speak_v of_o the_o magistrate_n ver_fw-la 4._o he_o say_v he_o be_v the_o avenger_n

another_o wherein_o the_o antinomian_n do_v direct_o derogate_v from_o the_o profitable_a effect_n and_o benefit_n of_o the_o law_n this_o therefore_o be_v a_o assertion_n which_o a_o antinomian_a

which_o may_v seem_v to_o comply_v with_o that_o opinion_n i_o shall_v now_o labour_v to_o maintain_v the_o positive_a part_n viz._n that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n preach_v may_v be_v bless_v by_o he_o instrumental_o to_o work_v the_o conversion_n of_o man_n and_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v this_o good_a for_o be_v the_o contrary_a true_a it_o will_v be_v a_o minister_n duty_n in_o great_a part_n to_o lay_v aside_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o not_o instrumental_a or_o subservient_fw-fr to_o that_o main_a end_n of_o the_o ministry_n which_o be_v the_o conversion_n of_o soul_n nor_o can_v i_o yield_v to_o that_o that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n work_v only_o preparatory_o or_o some_o terror_n about_o sin_n and_o can_v go_v no_o further_o but_o i_o suppose_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v obtain_v of_o god_n by_o his_o death_n that_o such_o efficacy_n and_o virtue_n shall_v go_v forth_o in_o the_o ministry_n that_o whether_o it_o be_v by_o law_n or_o gospel_n he_o preach_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n may_v be_v heal_v and_o convert_v thereupon_o only_o two_o thing_n must_v be_v premise_v first_o that_o the_o law_n can_v never_o work_v to_o regeneration_n be_v it_o regeneration_n the_o law_n with_o out_o christ_n can_v work_v to_o regeneration_n not_o for_o the_o gospel-promise_n have_v not_o god_n gracious_o promise_v to_o give_v a_o new_a heart_n through_o christ_n there_o have_v be_v no_o way_n to_o make_v any_o thing_n effectual_a that_o we_o preach_v out_o of_o the_o law_n so_o that_o for_o instance_n while_o a_o minister_n preach_v of_o any_o commandment_n do_v thereby_o mould_n and_o new_a frame_n the_o heart_n all_o this_o benefit_n come_v by_o christ_n who_o therefore_o die_v and_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n that_o so_o the_o thing_n we_o preach_v may_v be_v advantageous_a to_o our_o soul_n so_o that_o there_o never_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n mere_a pure_a law_n or_o mere_a pure_a gospel_n but_o they_o have_v be_v subservient_fw-fr to_o each_o other_o in_o the_o great_a work_n of_o conversion_n i_o know_v it_o be_v of_o great_a consequence_n to_o give_v a_o exact_a difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v well_o say_v of_o luther_n qui_fw-la scit_fw-la inter_fw-la legem_fw-la &_o evangelium_fw-la discernere_fw-la gratias_fw-la aga●_n deo_fw-la &_o sciat_fw-la

make_v the_o open_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n instrumentul_o to_o concur_v thereunto_o only_o this_o come_v by_o christ._n the_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o premise_v be_v this_o that_o howsoever_o the_o we_o the_o law_n may_v be_v bless_v to_o conversion_n yet_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o can_v neither_o be_v ground_n of_o justification_n or_o consolation_n to_o we_o law_n preach_v may_v be_v blessed_v to_o conversion_n yet_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o can_v be_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o justification_n adoption_n or_o consolation_n so_o that_o when_o a_o man_n do_v repent_v and_o turn_v unto_o god_n from_o his_o sin_n he_o can_v have_v hope_n or_o consolation_n in_o any_o thing_n he_o do_v but_o it_o must_v be_v in_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o that_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o law_n and_o gospel_n lie_v not_o in_o this_o as_o some_o do_v assign_v that_o one_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o other_o not_o for_o god_n use_v both_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v but_o in_o this_o that_o the_o holiness_n wrought_v in_o we_o by_o preach_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whether_o it_o be_v law_n or_o gospel_n do_v not_o justify_v we_o but_o this_o favour_n be_v in_o a_o evangelical_a manner_n by_o forgive_n whatsoever_o be_v irregular_a in_o we_o and_o communicate_v christ_n his_o righteousness_n to_o we_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o confound_v the_o law_n or_o gospel_n nor_o yet_o make_v they_o so_o contrary_a in_o their_o nature_n and_o effect_n that_o where_o one_o be_v the_o other_o can_v be_v to_o these_o two_o there_o be_v also_o a_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v premise_v and_o that_o be_v how_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o general_n be_v a_o medium_n or_o instrumental_a conversion_n the_o scripture_n in_o general_n be_v a_o medium_n work_v
