for_o conviction_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o crime_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n paul_n when_o he_o say_v curse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o

sanction_n to_o the_o preceptive_a part_n of_o the_o law_n than_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n have_v though_o nothing_o be_v abate_v in_o the_o rule_n of_o sin_n and_o duty_n yet_o blessing_n be_v promise_v to_o low_a degree_n of_o duty_n he_o also_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o threaten_v be_v not_o against_o every_o degree_n of_o sin_n so_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o gospel_n truth_n p._n 30._o the_o gospel_n law_n do_v not_o denounce_v death_n for_o the_o same_o sin_n as_o adam_n law_n do_v that_o law_n threaten_v death_n for_o the_o least_o sin_n yea_o for_o one_o sin_n but_o the_o gospel_n threaten_v death_n not_o for_o every_o sin_n most_n of_o the_o threaten_n in_o the_o bible_n that_o refer_v to_o the_o state_n of_o soul_n be_v evangelical_n threaten_n they_o be_v not_o by_o

p._n 133_o 134._o there_o be_v a_o legal_a preach_v which_o be_v oppose_v to_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o indeed_o be_v a_o crime_n and_o to_o that_o this_o chapter_n refer_v then_o he_o set_v it_o down_o as_o a_o truth_n that_o the_o legal_a preach_v which_o be_v a_o crime_n be_v to_o preach_v the_o law_n as_o a_o covenant_n of_o innocency_n or_o work_n the_o real_a difference_n between_o doctor_n cr._n and_o himself_o be_v whether_o it_o be_v legal_a in_o the_o culpable_a sense_n to_o threaten_v such_o penalty_n as_o be_v short_a of_o damnation_n against_o such_o offence_n as_o be_v
