of_o that_o all_o along_o now_o to_o dally_v no_o long_o with_o he_o nor_o to_o put_v he_o to_o a_o linger_a death_n the_o apostle_n who_o know_v his_o own_o mind_n best_a have_v assure_v i_o that_o by_o law_n he_o understand_v the_o moral_a law_n 1._o it_o be_v that_o law_n by_o which_o we_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n his_o argument_n run_v thus_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o that_o law_n by_o which_o come_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v but_o by_o the_o moral_a law_n come_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n therefore_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n

no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v but_o by_o the_o moral_a every_o mouth_n be_v stop_v and_o all_o the_o world_n become_v guilty_a before_o god_n therefore_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v and_o this_o evident_o exclude_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n from_o any_o concern_v in_o this_o argument_n for_o that_o law_n never_o oblige_v all_o or_o half_o the_o

dispute_v against_o justification_n by_o external_a conformity_n to_o its_o precept_n only_o or_o against_o justification_n by_o whatever_o obedience_n be_v or_o may_v be_v give_v to_o the_o moral_a law_n by_o man_n under_o his_o present_a circumstance_n and_o against_o our_o author_n conceit_n herein_o i_o oppose_v these_o thing_n 1._o it_o appear_v not_o that_o ever_o there_o be_v such_o a_o question_n start_v among_o any_o christian_n whether_o hypocrisy_n will_v justify_v a_o man_n before_o god_n much_o less_o be_v it_o ever_o lay_v down_o in_o thesi_fw-la and_o dogmatical_o maintain_v that_o it_o will_v do_v so_o many_o hypocrite_n there_o be_v then_o there_o be_v so_o now_o who_o may_v deceive_v themselves_o into_o a_o fool_n paradise_n that_o hypocrisy_n may_v not_o condemn_v and_o damn_v they_o but_o none_o ever_o so_o forsake_v of_o common_a sense_n as_o to_o think_v that_o hypocrisy_n will_v justify_v and_o save_v they_o many_o presume_v to_o be_v save_v notwithstanding_o their_o sin_n but_o none_o to_o be_v save_v for_o their_o sin_n if_o any_o shall_v so_o dote_v they_o deserve_v to_o receive_v their_o confutation_n from_o bedlam_n rather_o than_o the_o divinity-school_n i_o can_v therefore_o once_o imagine_v that_o the_o apostle_n shall_v so_o operose_o handle_v a_o subject_n that_o he_o shall_v rouse_v up_o his_o zeal_n and_o knit_v all_o the_o nerve_n of_o his_o spiritual_a reason_n to_o confute_v what_o be_v either_o nowhere_o or_o so_o thin_a and_o transparent_a a_o falsehood_n that_o to_o recite_v it_o be_v clear_o to_o confute_v it_o 2._o the_o deed_n or_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v the_o deed_n and_o work_n which_o the_o law_n command_v which_o it_o primary_o command_v but_o the_o law_n never_o command_v outward_a conformity_n of_o action_n without_o inward_a conformity_n of_o heart_n to_o its_o precept_n these_o be_v not_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n but_o such_o as_o god_n abhor_v therefore_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n by_o which_o no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v be_v not_o external_a work_n only_o 3._o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n by_o which_o no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v be_v the_o deed_n of_o every_o one_o of_o god_n law_n the_o deed_n of_o every_o particular_a commandment_n but_o the_o deed_n of_o one_o of_o god_n law_n of_o on●…_n particular_a commandment_n be_v only_o internal_a deed_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n dispute_v not_o only_o against_o external_a deed_n by_o the_o law_n be_v mean_v the_o whole_a law_n but_o one_o part_n of_o the_o law_n extensive_o take_v reach_v internal_a deed_n only_o as_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v but_o according_a to_o our_o author_n way_n the_o apostle_n shall_v have_v lay_v down_o his_o doctrine_n thus_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o nine_o part_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n live_v be_v justify_v 4._o the_o apostle_n dispute_v against_o justification_n by_o such_o deed_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o wherein_o all_o the_o world_n be_v become_v guilty_a but_o by_o the_o external_a deed_n of_o the_o law_n all_o the_o world_n be_v not_o become_v guilty_a therefore_o he_o

sometime_o of_o those_o importunate_a mendicant_n who_o strong_a logic_n and_o most_o prevail_a oratory_n be_v clamour_n and_o obstinacy_n he_o have_v harden_v himself_o to_o say_v that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v without_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o noble_a and_o generous_a act_n of_o faith_n and_o then_o conclude_v that_o therefore_o so_o be_v we_o and_o all_o this_o to_o save_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o apostle_n argument_n but_o i_o shall_v rather_o go_v the_o other_o way_n believer_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o justify_v without_o respect_n to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n therefore_o neither_o be_v abraham_n and_o let_v that_o save_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o apostle_n argument_n as_o he_o can_v prove_v that_o abraham_n be_v accept_v of_o god_n without_o any_o consideration_n of_o satisfaction_n make_v to_o he_o by_o a_o redeemer_n and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o infer_v that_o we_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n without_o such_o consideration_n so_o we_o can_v prove_v that_o believer_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v accept_v of_o god_n upon_o consideration_n have_v of_o the_o satisfaction_n make_v to_o he_o by_o a_o redeemer_n and_o therefore_o may_v infer_v that_o abraham_n be_v accept_v upon_o the_o same_o consideration_n 2._o his_o argument_n will_v recoil_v upon_o the_o engineer_n for_o if_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n you_o understand_v a_o righteousness_n of_o our_o own_o obedience_n you_o utter_o destroy_v the_o apostle_n argument_n for_o our_o justification_n by_o faith_n for_o how_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n that_o therefore_o believer_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n again_o if_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n from_o faith_n of_o one_o kind_n to_o faith_n of_o another_o and_o that_o the_o apostle_n understand_v himself_o better_a than_o to_o argue_v at_o this_o weak_a

two_o distinct_a sort_n of_o faith_n for_o which_o also_o we_o have_v his_o word_n and_o warrant_n p._n 252._o then_o let_v every_o reader_n try_v the_o issue_n whether_o our_o author_n have_v not_o

justify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ._n all_o that_o i_o can_v conclude_v from_o this_o discourse_n of_o our_o author_n be_v that_o he_o have_v own_v the_o apostle_n a_o old_a grudge_n and_o have_v now_o find_v a_o convenient_a time_n to_o pay_v he_o home_o he_o promise_v we_o now_o he_o will_v bring_v his_o discourse_n to_o a_o head_n which_o i_o be_o right_a sorry_a for_o hope_v he_o have_v be_v at_o the_o foot_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o i_o be_o glad_a it_o shall_v be_v reduce_v to_o a_o head_n for_o hitherto_o it_o have_v be_v like_o the_o hydra_n when_o one_o head_n be_v lop_v off_o
