28._o chap._n vi_o treat_v more_o particular_o of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o difference_n between_o they_o the_o author_n to_o make_v his_o doctrine_n more_o take_v up_o and_o down_o his_o book_n will_v persuade_v the_o reader_n that_o those_o that_o he_o say_v be_v call_v orthodox_n do_v but_o seek_v their_o life_n and_o righteousness_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o yet_o be_v but_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n this_o we_o have_v touch_v before_o and_o here_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n shall_v more_o particular_o treat_v of_o first_o then_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o the_o law_n and_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v it_o call_v for_o full_a and_o perfect_a obedience_n on_o our_o part_n with_o promise_n on_o god_n part_n to_o give_v life_n thereupon_o and_o threaten_a death_n and_o damnation_n to_o he_o that_o disobeye_n that_o the_o soul_n that_o sin_v it_o shall_v die_v as_o gal._n 3.10_o as_o many_o as_o be_v of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v under_o the_o curse_n for_o it_o be_v write_v curse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v it_o which_o show_v we_o how_o the_o law_n curse_n and_o condemn_v all_o that_o be_v under_o it_o upon_o the_o least_o transgression_n and_o disobedience_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v here_o be_v we_o have_v all_o sin_v as_o many_o of_o we_o as_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o not_o under_o grace_n be_v under_o the_o curse_n and_o if_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n than_o its_o false_a that_o the_o author_n say_v in_o many_o place_n of_o his_o book_n that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v christ_n make_v righteousness_n to_o he_o in_o a_o way_n of_o justification_n and_o yet_o be_v but_o under_o the_o law_n and_o covenant_n of_o work_n for_o a_o man_n can_v at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v both_o justify_v and_o be_v under_o the_o curse_n and_o we_o see_v whoever_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v under_o the_o curse_n and_o so_o consequent_o it_o be_v a_o mistake_n that_o the_o author_n hold_v that_o such_o have_v christ_n make_v righteousness_n to_o they_o in_o a_o way_n of_o justification_n according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o covenant_n of_o work_n the_o least_o sin_n damn_v a_o man_n one_o vain_a thought_n one_o idle_a word_n bring_v the_o vengeance_n of_o eternal_a fire_n every_o disobedience_n receive_v such_o a_o just_a recompense_n of_o reward_n therefore_o say_v the_o scripture_n rom._n 4.15_o the_o law_n work_v wrath_n for_o where_o no_o law_n be_v there_o be_v no_o transgression_n no_o man_n under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n can_v be_v justify_v as_o this_o author_n imagine_v for_o the_o law_n and_o covenant_n of_o work_n work_v wrath_n set_v justice_n against_o we_o and_o make_v all_o the_o world_n become_v guilty_a before_o god_n rom._n 3.19_o no_o man_n be_v absolve_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n but_o all_o become_v guilty_a before_o

as_o this_o author_n say_v page_n 118._o and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n and_o in_o the_o same_o page_n say_v that_o we_o be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n upon_o the_o
