A27633	The true state of Gospel truth, established upon the free election of God in Christ the agreement, and yet difference between law and Gospel, so, that the Gospel cannot be stiled law : the inconditionateness of the Gospel salvation : the procedure of the day of judgment : in the way of a conciliatory discourse upon Mr. Williams his concessions / by T.

among_o all_o nation_n to_o who_o it_o come_v and_o be_v most_o strict_o enjoin_v and_o command_v by_o it_o and_o so_o the_o apostle_n may_v most_o elegant_o say_v boast_v be_v exclude_v by_o what_o law_n of_o work_n viz._n the_o law_n as_o it_o command_v work_n nay_o by_o the_o law_n as_o it_o command_v faith_n or_o the_o receive_v christ_n as_o a_o saviour_n and_o his_o righteousness_n by_o mere_a gift_n and_o of_o grace_n in_o which_o righteousness_n have_v so_o great_a honour_n and_o full_a satisfaction_n pay_v to_o it_o that_o it_o can_v but_o accept_v and_o charge_n upon_o all_o that_o hear_v of_o it_o the_o acceptation_n of_o it_o but_o because_o thus_o faith_n will_v stand_v as_o a_o work_n though_o as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o a_o post-work_a or_o a_o work_n after_o sin_n i_o rather_o understand_v the_o apostle_n use_v here_o the_o word_n law_n of_o faith_n in_o a_o lax_n and_o allusive_a sense_n as_o any_o doctrine_n or_o divine_a manifestation_n may_v be_v call_v a_o law_n 2._o the_o law_n hereupon_o can_v but_o enlarge_v its_o promise_n according_a to_o this_o divine_a constitution_n for_o if_o god_n have_v declare_v that_o he_o will_v give_v eternal_a life_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o save_o turn_v from_o iniquity_n by_o repentance_n and_o do_v accept_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v to_o believer_n instead_o of_o unsinning_a obedience_n the_o law_n must_v needs_o join_v issue_n with_o these_o declaration_n of_o god_n and_o with_o what_o infinite_a truth_n and_o grace_n have_v say_v and_o confirm_v with_o its_o own_o sanction_n all_o these_o promise_n as_o earnest_o to_o be_v desire_v and_o lay_v hold_n of_o yet_o still_o this_o belong_v to_o the_o law_n as_o law_n and_o enterfere_n not_o with_o gospel_n as_o free_a grace_n for_o as_o all_o the_o command_v of_o the_o law_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o sovereignty_n and_o righteousness_n of_o god_n so_o be_v its_o promise_n ground_v upon_o the_o power_n truth_n goodness_n and_o unchangeableness_n of_o god_n if_o then_o the_o gospel_n declare_v a_o righteousness_n of_o god_n a_o righteousness_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n accept_v of_o god_n beyond_o any_o righteousness_n by_o work_n of_o the_o law_n the_o very_a law_n itself_o open_v and_o enlarge_v all_o its_o promise_n to_o that_o righteous_a person_n by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o as_o this_o righteousness_n on_o which_o such_o a_o person_n be_v justify_v be_v exceed_v unto_o he_o and_o upon_o he_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v that_o be_v every_o way_n over_o flow_n he_o and_o so_o beyond_o all_o other_o righteousness_n so_o do_v the_o law_n extend_v its_o promise_n to_o the_o utmost_a in_o relation_n to_o it_o and_o therefore_o god_n be_v say_v as_o in_o triumph_n to_o declare_v herein_o and_o at_o that_o very_a time_n his_o righteousness_n that_o he_o may_v be_v just_o and_o the_o justifier_n of_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o jesus_n rom._n 3._o and_o the_o apostle_n john_n say_v if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n that_o be_v acknowledge_v our_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o such_o a_o righteousness_n by_o christ_n and_o receive_v it_o he_o be_v faithful_a and_o just_o even_o according_a to_o the_o eternal_a law_n of_o righteousness_n to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o unrighteousness_n so_o they_o who_o receive_v abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n shall_v reign_v in_o life_n by_o jesus_n christ_n not_o only_o live_v as_o the_o law_n say_v to_o the_o man_n who_o do_v its_o work_n but_o reign_n in_o life_n the_o promise_v of_o the_o law_n be_v stretch_v out_o and_o accumulate_v upon_o such_o a_o person_n so_o justify_v by_o the_o transcendent_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n 3._o the_o law_n open_v wide_a its_o threaten_n in_o the_o cause_n of_o and_o on_o injury_n do_v to_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n reveal_v in_o it_o for_o see_v it_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n to_o condemn_v sinner_n it_o be_v also_o essential_a to_o it_o to_o condemn_v and_o adjudge_v to_o its_o punishment_n according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o sin_n and_o gild_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o that_o transgress_v moses_n law_n die_v without_o mercy_n under_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n and_o every_o transgression_n receive_v a_o just_a recompense_n of_o reward_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o gild_n and_o demerit_n of_o how_o much_o sore_a punishment_n suppose_v you_o shall_v he_o be_v think_v worthy_a who_o have_v tread_v under_o foot_n the_o son_n god_n and_o count_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n a_o common_a thing_n and_o do_v despite_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n this_o be_v plain_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n according_a to_o which_o also_o christ_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v more_o tolerable_a for_o sodom_n and_o gomorrha_n thus_o we_o may_v see_v how_o far_o the_o law_n must_v needs_o attend_v the_o gospel_n with_o all_o its_o authority_n i_o will_v now_o show_v how_o the_o gospel_n take_v in_o the_o law_n and_o make_v use_v of_o it_o for_o its_o own_o great_a end_n and_o purpose_n upon_o account_n of_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v do_v we_o make_v void_a the_o law_n nay_o we_o establish_v it_o the_o law_n stand_v fair_a in_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o its_o full_a perfection_n of_o breadth_n and_o length_n that_o it_o may_v show_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o righteousness_n and_o obedience_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o also_o it_o stand_v with_o all_o its_o penalty_n severity_n curse_n and_o condemnation_n that_o it_o may_v show_v the_o deep_a of_o the_o suffering_n of_o our_o great_a mediator_n and_o interpret_v to_o we_o the_o agony_n wherein_o he_o sweat_v drop_n of_o blood_n and_o the_o mean_v of_o that_o loud_a cry_n my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o for_o say_v christ_n thus_o in_o every_o jota_n of_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n it_o be_v come_v he_o to_o fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n 2._o that_o it_o may_v show_v to_o all_o the_o glory_n from_o which_o they_o be_v fall_v and_o from_o which_o they_o daily_o fall_v low_a and_o low_a the_o deformity_n of_o their_o own_o state_n the_o dread_a and_o horror_n of_o that_o ruin_n and_o condemnation_n of_o hell_n and_o death_n that_o be_v so_o just_o come_v upon_o sinner_n fall_v short_a of_o that_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o this_o holy_a righteous_a and_o good_a law_n of_o such_o purity_n and_o cleanness_n a_o fiery_a law_n a_o royal_a law_n a_o law_n of_o liberty_n show_v all_o the_o hatefulness_n of_o sin_n and_o justice_n of_o punishment_n and_o condemnation_n and_o all_o this_o be_v in_o order_n to_o humiliation_n sight_n and_o sense_n of_o sin_n conversion_n from_o it_o and_o especial_o to_o show_v the_o great_a necessity_n of_o christ_n redemption_n grace_n the_o free_a gift_n of_o righteousness_n and_o justification_n by_o he_o for_o thus_o by_o the_o law_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n thus_o the_o law_n work_v wrath_n that_o be_v it_o both_o stir_v up_o the_o due_a apprehension_n of_o it_o and_o if_o not_o prevent_v by_o pardon_n and_o justification_n it_o call_v up_o vengeance_n against_o the_o offender_n wherefore_o the_o law_n be_v our_o school_n master_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o christ_n by_o the_o severity_n and_o rigour_n of_o its_o justice_n and_o as_o such_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o gospel_n 3._o that_o the_o gospel_n may_v by_o the_o law_n show_v that_o perfect_a pattern_n and_o exemplar_n of_o holiness_n and_o purity_n of_o thought_n word_n and_o action_n to_o which_o we_o be_v to_o aspire_v that_o cleanse_v of_o ourselves_o from_o the_o filthiness_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n to_o perfect_a holiness_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n that_o exceed_v broad_a commandment_n that_o set_v a_o end_n or_o bind_v show_v all_o other_o perfection_n too_o short_a and_o too_o narrow_a compare_v with_o itself_o and_o so_o the_o law_n may_v be_v as_o a_o rule_n of_o holy_a life_n and_o action_n to_o which_o we_o shall_v follow_v on_o according_a to_o the_o mark_v even_o of_o perfection_n itself_o if_o it_o can_v be_v to_o attain_v the_o very_a state_n of_o that_o perfection_n that_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o herein_o there_o be_v four_o great_a gospel_n end_v aim_v at_o by_o the_o gospel_n thus_o take_v the_o law_n under_o itself_o 1._o that_o we_o may_v feel_v a_o continual_a necessity_n of_o make_v recourse_n to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o fountain_n set_v open_a for_o sin_n and_o for_o uncleanness_n because_o by_o this_o holy_a law_n there_o be_v a_o

and_o regeneration_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o grace_n from_o christ_n and_o of_o this_o the_o apostle_n discourse_v after_o the_o mention_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o gentile_n conformity_n to_o it_o in_o some_o part_n the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n turn_v the_o uncircumcision_n into_o circumcision_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o he_o go_v on_o 2._o let_v we_o consider_v the_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n in_o that_o which_o scripture_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n so_o universal_o style_v the_o law_n viz._n the_o whole_a

that_o be_v the_o kill_v letter_n the_o ministration_n of_o death_n of_o condemnation_n the_o law_n that_o work_v wrath_n by_o which_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n by_o which_o no_o flesh_n can_v be_v justify_v in_o his_o sight_n a_o law_n of_o work_n do_v by_o our_o own_o power_n in_o number_n weight_n and_o measure_n or_o else_o it_o bring_v under_o the_o curse_n a_o law_n therefore_o that_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n give_v life_n and_o so_o righteousness_n can_v be_v by_o it_o unto_o justification_n of_o life_n and_o all_o the_o ceremony_n be_v but_o so_o many_o label_n handwriting_n and_o seal_n against_o we_o and_o contrary_a to_o we_o bind_v we_o to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n so_o opposite_a to_o christ_n that_o where_o they_o be_v observe_v since_o reverse_v by_o the_o gospel_n he_o can_v profit_v we_o nothing_o opposite_a to_o grace_n so_o that_o he_o that_o adhere_v to_o they_o for_o righteousness_n fall_v from_o grace_n and_o be_v under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o under_o the_o curse_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v whoever_o sin_n have_v the_o law_n perish_v by_o it_o and_o with_o have_v it_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n that_o be_v find_v fault_n with_o because_o god_n find_v fault_n with_o they_o who_o be_v under_o it_o for_o break_v it_o and_o yet_o all_o this_o time_n the_o law_n be_v holy_a just_a and_o good_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o glory_n in_o regard_n of_o its_o so_o intimate_a and_o essential_a goodness_n that_o reflect_v a_o glory_n on_o moses_n his_o face_n when_o god_n give_v the_o two_o table_n as_o it_o be_v in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o first_o glory_n on_o adam_n but_o it_o soon_o vanish_v into_o a_o ministry_n of_o death_n and_o condemnation_n show_v how_o soon_o adam_n fall_v from_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o even_o this_o whole_a mosaic_a frame_n be_v design_v with_o all_o its_o ceremony_n to_o lead_v to_o christ_n according_a to_o all_o the_o service_n of_o the_o law_n to_o the_o gospel_n when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o have_v be_v before_o explain_v in_o which_o regard_n also_o moses_n his_o face_n shine_v receive_v the_o ray_n of_o the_o divine_a glory_n in_o the_o face_n of_o christ_n but_o because_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o gospel-grace_n be_v only_o to_o the_o elect_n the_o law_n become_v superior_a and_o the_o ceremony_n thicken_v as_o

and_o all_o its_o ceremony_n lead_v to_o christ_n and_o his_o glory_n shine_v through_o they_o although_o because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o dispensation_n high_a and_o spiritual_a enough_o for_o that_o

in_o compare_n with_o the_o gospel-grace_n so_o do_v his_o saint_n also_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old-testament_n and_o under_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v do_v away_o but_o the_o substantial_a

they_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o dominion_n of_o the_o law_n over_o they_o however_o the_o gospel_n be_v never_o so_o clear_o offer_v to_o they_o the_o law_n then_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n it_o urge_v upon_o we_o whatever_o be_v to_o be_v do_v by_o ourselves_o it_o press_v the_o acceptance_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o righteousness_n a_o conformity_n
