god_n and_o we_o but_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb_n offer_v by_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n and_o his_o appear_v in_o that_o blood_n to_o the_o very_a face_n of_o god_n for_o we_o in_o heaven_n for_o on_o the_o least_o fail_v or_o offence_n the_o law_n have_v none_o to_o offer_v we_o so_o that_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o condemnation_n on_o this_o account_n therefore_o we_o find_v in_o the_o gospel_n so_o many_o of_o the_o law_n severity_n that_o we_o may_v be_v continual_o awaken_v to_o go_v to_o christ_n 2._o that_o we_o may_v find_v inability_n in_o ourselves_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n suitable_a or_o agreeable_a to_o that_o holy_a law_n which_o command_v with_o a_o astonish_n and_o admirable_a excellency_n of_o holiness_n but_o give_v not_o the_o least_o power_n or_o strength_n to_o perform_v what_o it_o command_v and_o in_o both_o respect_n the_o apostle_n may_v be_v very_o well_o understand_v if_o there_o have_v be_v a_o law_n that_o can_v have_v give_v life_n very_o righteousness_n shall_v have_v be_v by_o the_o law_n but_o the_o law_n that_o command_v and_o give_v not_o power_n be_v therefore_o call_v a_o letter_n that_o kill_v 3._o that_o herein_o the_o gospel_n may_v show_v itself_o to_o be_v a_o gospel_n indeed_o in_o the_o ministration_n of_o righteousness_n opposite_a to_o the_o law_n the_o ministration_n of_o condemnation_n and_o in_o the_o ministration_n of_o life_n and_o power_n by_o the_o spirit_n give_v strength_n to_o do_v what_o be_v command_v and_o so_o enable_v the_o spirit_n of_o saint_n to_o become_v the_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n of_o christ_n minister_v by_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n in_o preach_v the_o new_a testament_n but_o write_v not_o with_o ink_n or_o in_o the_o leave_v of_o the_o bible_n but_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o not_o in_o table_n of_o stone_n but_o in_o the_o fleshly_a table_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o gospel_n in_o all_o its_o most_o proper_a way_n of_o speak_v so_o constant_o interlineat_v with_o christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n 4._o see_v what_o even_o the_o spirit_n be_v please_v to_o vouchsafe_v in_o the_o present_a state_n be_v so_o much_o below_o the_o very_a glory_n the_o gospel_n hold_v out_o there_o be_v a_o continual_a incitation_n the_o gospel_n set_v before_o we_o to_o desire_v that_o change_n from_o the_o beginning_n glory_n of_o the_o present_a state_n to_o the_o glory_n that_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o perfect_a state_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o on_o this_o account_n be_v that_o future_a state_n so_o often_o mention_v when_o indeed_o with_o a_o face_n perfect_o open_v we_o shall_v behold_v as_o in_o a_o mirror_n not_o as_o in_o ordinary_a mirror_n our_o own_o natural_a face_n but_o jesus_n christ_n the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o we_o now_o be_v in_o degree_n and_o shall_v be_v perfect_o change_v into_o the_o same_o image_n from_o glory_n begin_v now_o to_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o same_o glory_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n as_o by_o that_o spirit_n jehovah_n and_o this_o give_v we_o the_o true_a excellency_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o law_n like_o our_o ordinary_a mirror_n show_v our_o own_o face_n by_o that_o light_n which_o first_o indeed_o represent_v what_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v but_o we_o not_o be_v that_o it_o reprove_v and_o condemn_v such_o sinner_n or_o imperfect_a saint_n as_o the_o best_a be_v but_o it_o show_v no_o glorious_a image_n or_o not_o in_o christ_n with_o a_o efficacious_a change_a grace_n and_o power_n but_o this_o the_o gospel_n do_v for_o we_o 4._o the_o gospel_n take_v the_o law_n into_o itself_o that_o it_o may_v though_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o a_o ministration_n of_o righteousness_n and_o life_n and_o spirit_n yet_o that_o it_o may_v by_o the_o law_n show_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o unbelief_n and_o impenitency_n re●●ection_n of_o itself_o and_o refusal_n of_o its_o gracious_a offer_n and_o this_o it_o do_v on_o two_o great_a reason_n 1._o that_o all_o those_o manifestation_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o danger_n of_o a_o unbelieving_a impenitent_a state_n may_v be_v rational_a instrument_n and_o conveyance_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o that_o power_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n flow_v from_o itself_o in_o the_o new-testament_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o elect._n 2._o that_o the_o gospel_n may_v have_v in_o readiness_n the_o law_n to_o revenge_v every_o disobedience_n against_o itself_o and_o yet_o preserve_v its_o own_o high_a title_n of_o the_o new-testament_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n for_o as_o the_o lord_n say_v i_o accuse_v you_o not_o you_o have_v one_o that_o accuse_v you_o even_o moses_n in_o who_o you_o trust_v and_o i_o judge_v you_o not_o the_o word_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v they_o shall_v judge_v you_o at_o the_o last_o day_n viz._n in_o the_o virtue_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o that_o eternal_a law_n of_o righteousness_n which_o as_o have_v be_v show_v can_v but_o pass_v along_o with_o the_o so_o gracious_a gospel_n dispensation_n and_o thus_o when_o the_o gospel_n have_v make_v offer_n of_o itself_o and_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o it_o without_o save_v effect_n the_o law_n and_o justice_n according_a to_o it_o seize_v upon_o the_o sinner_n for_o sin_n against_o that_o eternal_a righteousness_n essential_a to_o itself_o and_o against_o the_o unspeakable_a grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n with_o dreadful_a aggravation_n of_o condemnation_n and_o herein_o jesus_n christ_n the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n in_o our_o nature_n be_v the_o righteous_a judge_n at_o that_o day_n though_o here_o on_o earth_n he_o judge_v not_o being_z come_v not_o to_o judge_n but_o to_o save_o and_o his_o judgement_n be_v according_a to_o that_o eternal_a law_n seat_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o thought_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o according_a to_o the_o gospel_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v declare_v that_o his_o judgement_n agreeable_a with_o the_o law_n write_v in_o man_n heart_n and_o so_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o very_a law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o thought_n of_o man_n accuse_v or_o excuse_v be_v now_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o gospel_n to_o its_o own_o great_a end_n of_o draw_v they_o to_o christ_n who_o be_v his_o and_o lead_v they_o under_o the_o conduct_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o god_n be_v say_v there_o to_o judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n heart_n according_a to_o the_o gospel_n concern_v that_o light_n and_o sense_n of_o natural_a

natural_a conscience_n so_o preserve_v by_o christ_n every_o man_n be_v find_v to_o honour_n praise_n and_o glory_n or_o else_o fall_v under_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o their_o hard_a and_o impenitent_a heart_n and_o way_n by_o which_o they_o have_v treasure_v up_o wrath_n against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath._n and_o of_o all_o thing_n in_o both_o state_n jesus_n christ_n be_v most_o righteous_o and_o propper_o constitute_v the_o judge_n as_o shall_v be_v further_o make_v out_o but_o notwithstanding_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n do_v thus_o far_o join_v themselves_o one_o to_o another_o yet_o which_o will_v come_v up_o close_o to_o the_o decision_n of_o this_o question_n the_o law_n can_v never_o pass_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o

and_o efficacy_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o the_o due_a time_n and_o season_n and_o in_o the_o just_a order_n real_o and_o effectual_o vest_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o elect_n and_o so_o

will_n which_o the_o gospel_n as_o occasion_n require_v take_v into_o its_o own_o hand_n and_o make_v use_v of_o and_o whatever_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o we_o according_a to_o the_o gospel_n the_o law_n lay_v its_o sanction_n upon_o it_o 4._o the_o gospel_n command_v nothing_o if_o strict_o and_o proper_o take_v require_v nothing_o command_v nothing_o that_o yet_o it_o declare_v must_v be_v in_o we_o in_o answer_n to_o itself_o nor_o that_o it_o declare_v must_v and_o shall_v be_v in_o we_o according_a to_o the_o law_n but_o it_o make_v use_n of_o the_o law_n as_o to_o all_o the_o

all_o the_o various_a dispute_n of_o they_o and_o not_o fall_v into_o either_o of_o those_o great_a error_n the_o apostle_n james_n warn_v we_o against_o of_o say_v when_o we_o be_v tempt_v we_o be_v
