can_v be_v no_o obligation_n from_o the_o matter_n have_v it_o not_o be_v revoke_v and_o abolish_v then_o the_o moral_a law_n give_v by_o moses_n must_v still_o oblige_v though_o it_o do_v not_o

in_o the_o first_o place_n therefore_o consider_v that_o about_o a_o law_n there_o law_n interpretation_n dispensation_n etc._n etc._n affection_n of_o a_o law_n be_v these_o affection_n if_o i_o may_v call_v they_o so_o there_o be_v a_o interpretation_n a_o dispensation_n or_o relaxation_n and_o these_o differ_v from_o a_o abrogation_n for_o the_o former_a do_v suppose_v the_o law_n still_o stand_v in_o force_n though_o mitigate_v but_o abrogation_n be_v then_o proper_o when_o a_o law_n be_v total_o take_v away_o and_o this_o abrogation_n arise_v sometime_o from_o the_o express_a

that_o these_o be_v ill_o or_o that_o they_o do_v come_v from_o a_o ill_a author_n but_o because_o the_o fullness_n and_o substance_n of_o
they_o be_v now_o come_v of_o who_o the_o ceremony_n be_v a_o shadow_n yet_o still_o you_o must_v remember_v that_o while_o they_o be_v command_v of_o god_n they_o be_v the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n and_o piety_n and_o god_n do_v dispense_v grace_n in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o only_o they_o be_v beggarly_a and_o empty_a to_o such_o who_o trust_v in_o they_o and_o neglect_v christ_n nor_o do_v this_o assertion_n contradict_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n ephes_n 2._o 15._o where_o he_o call_v those_o ordinance_n enmity_n and_o decree_n against_o we_o for_o those_o ceremony_n may_v be_v

not_o perform_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n all_o those_o purification_n and_o cleansing_n be_v against_o we_o thus_o we_o see_v these_o law_n in_o every_o consideration_n make_v void_a so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o now_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n to_o use_v they_o though_o we_o will_v not_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o they_o but_o sinful_a hence_o i_o can_v see_v how_o that_o of_o luther_n be_v true_a upon_o gal._n 2._o who_o say_v he_o believe_v that_o if_o the_o jew_n believe_v have_v observe_v the_o law_n and_o circumcision_n in_o that_o manner_n which_o the_o apostle_n permit_v they_o that_o judaisme_n have_v yet_o stand_v and_o that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v have_v receive_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o second_o place_n if_o we_o will_v speak_v exact_o and_o proper_o abrogate_a we_o may_v say_v that_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v mitigate_v as_o to_o our_o person_n but_o it_o be_v not_o abrogate_a we_o can_v say_v in_o any_o good_a sense_n that_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v abrogate_a at_o all_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o our_o learned_a writer_n show_v that_o the_o law_n be_v abrogate_a in_o respect_n of_o justification_n condemnation_n and_o rigour_n of_o obedience_n all_o which_o i_o shall_v instance_n in_o afterward_o but_o if_o a_o man_n will_v speak_v rigid_o he_o can_v say_v it_o be_v abrogate_a we_o may_v say_v it_o be_v mitigate_v as_o to_o our_o person_n though_o christ_n our_o surety_n do_v full_o undergo_v it_o for_o if_o god_n have_v take_v away_o the_o law_n so_o that_o man_n nor_o his_o surety_n have_v be_v under_o the_o curse_n of_o it_o or_o shall_v have_v obey_v it_o than_o have_v it_o be_v proper_o abrogate_a whereas_o now_o see_v our_o surety_n be_v bind_v to_o satisfy_v it_o and_o perfect_o to_o obey_v it_o and_o we_o still_o oblige_v to_o conform_v unto_o it_o we_o can_v so_o proper_o in_o the_o general_n say_v it_o be_v abrogate_a therefore_o we_o may_v more_o proper_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o change_n and_o

thus_o it_o be_v if_o we_o will_v speak_v proper_o yet_o because_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o obedience_n be_v by_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o we_o we_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v abrogate_a to_o we_o so_o that_o we_o may_v not_o look_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n or_o justification_n by_o it_o but_o you_o must_v still_o distinguish_v when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o law_n some_o part_n of_o

we_o under_o the_o gospel_n his_o second_o reason_n be_v god_n see_v sin_n in_o they_o because_o they_o be_v child_n that_o have_v need_n of_o a_o rod_n but_o he_o see_v none_o in_o we_o because_o

do_v more_o excuse_v they_o and_o although_o child_n only_o have_v a_o rod_n for_o their_o fault_n yet_o man_n grow_v up_o they_o have_v more_o terrible_a punishment_n hence_o the_o apostle_n threaten_v believer_n that_o despise_v christ_n with_o punishment_n above_o those_o that_o despise_a moses_n his_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o under_o the_o law_n be_v under_o a_o schoolmaster_n therefore_o he_o see_v sin_n in_o they_o but_o none_o in_o we_o be_v no_o long_o under_o a_o schoolmaster_n but_o here_o be_v no_o solidity_n in_o this_o reason_n for_o first_o the_o

they_o be_v not_o under_o a_o schoolmaster_n as_o child_n as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v to_o a_o young_a man_n that_o be_v take_v from_o the_o grammar-schoole_n and_o transplant_v in_o the_o
