which_o have_v be_v read_v unto_o you_o for_o my_o groundwork_n which_o whosoever_o will_v understand_v must_v diligent_o consider_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o place_n and_o the_o person_n he_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o viz._n the_o jew_n leaven_v with_o pharisaical_a gloss_n and_o corrupt_a tradition_n our_o saviour_n be_v now_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o prophetical_a office_n and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o find_v the_o sect_n and_o opinion_n of_o the_o pharisee_n to_o be_v most_o opposite_a and_o prejudicial_a to_o his_o intention_n he_o set_v himself_o in_o this_o sermon_n to_o pull_v down_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n that_o so_o he_o may_v bring_v in_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o god_n by_o faith_n and_o therefore_o tell_v they_o plain_o that_o except_o their_o righteousness_n do_v exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n they_o shall_v in_o no_o case_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n verse_n 20._o now_o because_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n be_v in_o better_a credit_n among_o the_o people_n then_o to_o be_v blast_v with_o a_o bare_a assertion_n christ_n show_v the_o vanity_n and_o defectiveness_n of_o it_o in_o that_o it_o fall_v exceed_o short_a of_o its_o pretence_n which_o be_v to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n which_o instead_o of_o fulfil_v they_o destroy_v for_o as_o it_o be_v the_o common_a practice_n of_o erroneous_a person_n when_o they_o can_v bring_v their_o opinion_n to_o the_o scripture_n they_o will_v wrest_v the_o scripture_n to_o their_o opinion_n as_o the_o father_n speak_v of_o some_o who_o do_v pertrahere_fw-la evangelium_fw-la ad_fw-la sententiae_fw-la suae_fw-la praecipitium_fw-la so_o the_o pharisee_n see_v they_o can_v not_o raise_v their_o righteousness_n to_o the_o line_n of_o the_o law_n they_o bring_v down_o the_o law_n to_o the_o level_n of_o their_o own_o righteousness_n in_o particular_a they_o restrain_v the_o commamdement_n which_o in_o themselves_o be_v spiritual_a and_o exceed_a broad_a reach_v the_o thought_n and_o intent_n of_o the_o heart_n all_o kind_n and_o degree_n of_o evil_a to_o some_o outward_a action_n which_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o moral_a principle_n they_o may_v forbear_v who_o right_a heir_n be_v the_o papist_n who_o resolve_v to_o establish_v a_o righteousness_n of_o work_n and_o possibility_n of_o fulfil_v the_o law_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n grant_v that_o concupiscence_n be_v sin_n lest_o thereby_o their_o legal_a righteousness_n shall_v be_v taint_v but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o pharisee_n with_o who_o christ_n have_v to_o deal_v they_o restrain_v the_o seven_o commandment_n to_o the_o act_n of_o adultery_n christ_n extend_v it_o to_o the_o wander_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o heart_n they_o limit_v the_o six_o commandment_n to_o actual_a murder_n whereas_o christ_n extend_v it_o to_o inordinate_a passion_n and_o ill_a language_n so_o deal_v they_o in_o this_o particular_a whereof_o we_o treat_v they_o confine_v the_o three_o commandment_n to_o perjury_n whereas_o christ_n extend_v it_o to_o the_o prohibition_n of_o rash_a vain_a swear_n by_o the_o creature_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o word_n only_o i_o must_v first_o endeavour_v the_o determination_n of_o one_o question_n whether_o christ_n in_o this_o discourse_n intend_v a_o abrogation_n of_o the_o law_n a_o addition_n to_o it_o or_o only_o a_o interpretation_n of_o it_o certain_o not_o a_o abrogation_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o he_o profess_v he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v but_o to_o fulfil_v verse_n 17._o some_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v a_o addition_n which_o opinion_n indeed_o have_v the_o countenance_n of_o some_o of_o the_o father_n but_o the_o socinian_o be_v most_o earnest_a in_o this_o conception_n upon_o this_o ground_n they_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n o●_z justification_n by_o his_o death_n and_o for_o the_o wrong_n they_o do_v to_o his_o priestly_a office_n they_o pretend_v to_o make_v amends_o in_o his_o prophetical_a and_o say_v that_o he_o come_v to_o improve_v and_o raise_v the_o precept_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o give_v a_o more_o exact_a law_n then_o be_v give_v by_o moses_n in_o the_o observation_n whereof_o our_o gospel_n righteousness_n shall_v consist_v but_o we_o believe_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n only_o intend_v a_o restauration_n of_o the_o law_n from_o the_o corrupt_a gloss_n and_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n with_o who_o he_o deal_v in_o this_o discourse_n not_o with_o moses_n who_o be_v faithful_a in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o he_o profess_v that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o law_n which_o upon_o the_o matter_n he_o have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v show_v it_o to_o be_v a_o short_a or_o crooked_a rule_n but_o to_o fulfil_v it_o or_o as_o the_o word_n will_v bear_v to_o fill_v
