nothing_o paul_n know_v this_o very_a well_o if_o his_o epistle_n be_v serious_o scan_v if_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o be_v sift_v well_o into_o the_o two_o main_a part_n thereof_o justification_n

epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o galatian_n he_o be_v much_o on_o free_a grace_n in_o justification_n against_o jewish_a confidence_n in_o pharisaical_a performance_n but_o in_o those_o and_o in_o all_o his_o other_o epistle_n he_o be_v as_o much_o and_o sometime_o more_o insist_v on_o god_n free_a grace_n in_o sanctification_n and_o exhort_v thereunto_o against_o that_o looseness_n and_o carelessness_n of_o walk_v which_o he_o see_v in_o many_o christian_n true_o to_o i_o his_o great_a care_n seem_v to_o be_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o good_a work_n both_o in_o himself_o and_o

yield_v to_o importunity_n to_o speak_v a_o word_n of_o exhortation_n to_o my_o native_a town_n the_o holy_a spirit_n direct_v i_o to_o pitch_v on_o such_o a_o portion_n of_o scripture_n as_o lead_v i_o to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o sanctification_n and_o set_v forth_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o god_n free_a grace_n in_o christ_n therefore_o to_o be_v as_o great_a as_o in_o matter_n of_o justification_n a_o point_n direct_o cross_v those_o misshape_a opinion_n of_o those_o new-fashioned_a christian_n for_o so_o they_o be_v to_o we_o that_o be_v call_v antinomian_o and_o therefore_o a_o point_n most_o fit_a for_o rye_n wherein_o many_o of_o that_o sect_n be_v vote_v to_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o those_o frequent_a loud_a and_o bitter_a exclamation_n against_o they_o by_o name_n

of_o the_o antinomian_o and_o so_o i_o do_v and_o i_o hope_v my_o labour_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a to_o the_o auditory_a i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a in_o the_o lord_n account_v who_o truth_n it_o be_v that_o i_o deliver_v and_o i_o deliver_v it_o as_o he_o and_o none_o of_o i_o and_o will_v not_o a_o man_n conceive_v this_o will_v have_v be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o he_o who_o seem_v such_o a_o profess_a enemy_n to_o the_o antinomian_o but_o the_o contrary_n appear_v to_o the_o weak_a of_o his_o auditor_n whereupon_o who_o can_v but_o think_v that_o either_o he_o mistake_v the_o person_n he_o so_o call_v or_o that_o he_o do_v not_o understand_v what_o the_o lord_n deliver_v by_o i_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o as_o clear_a as_o
