come_v free_o indeed_o he_o do_v something_o natural_o in_o receive_v but_o nothing_o moral_o by_o way_n of_o merit_n for_o the_o thing_n receive_v but_o second_o there_o be_v other_o condition_n which_o have_v the_o reason_n of_o a_o meritorious_a cause_n as_o when_o man_n do_v it_o only_o entreat_v or_o desire_n but_o deserve_v upon_o contract_n what_o be_v promise_v as_o do_v my_o work_n

our_o come_v upon_o our_o ask_v upon_o our_o believe_v as_o if_o christ_n be_v behold_v to_o we_o for_o our_o accept_n of_o he_o so_o natural_o fond_a be_v we_o of_o rest_v upon_o any_o thing_n that_o

second_o hence_o we_o also_o learn_v to_o see_v how_o our_o religion_n magnify_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o debase_v man_n to_o manifest_a token_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n for_o that_o

to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o pull_v down_o the_o pharisaical_a feather_n wherewith_o man_n pride_n themselves_o and_o so_o exalt_v grace_n and_o the_o freeness_n of_o it_o as_o not_o dare_v to_o thrust_v in_o any_o thing_n of_o their_o own_o whereby_o to_o lessen_v his_o glory_n but_o willing_o ascribe_v all_o to_o his_o free_a grace_n and_o undeserved_a favour_n this_o only_o be_v the_o

glory_v and_o instead_o of_o exclude_v man_n boast_n grace_n itself_o will_v be_v exclude_v which_o be_v far_o from_o a_o glorify_v of_o it_o as_o be_v plain_a from_o rom._n 11.6_o so_o that_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v save_o his_o by_o free_a grace_n and_o undeserved_a favour_n because_o he_o will_v make_v way_n for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o after_o generation_n that_o they_o may_v be_v admirer_n of_o it_o and_o rely_v upon_o it_o second_o a_o second_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v save_o his_o by_o mere_a free_a grace_n and_o undeserved_a favour_n be_v because_o he_o will_v utter_o exclude_v work_n grace_n and_o work_n be_v inconsistent_a in_o the_o cause_n of_o salvation_n the_o scripture_n be_v very_o wary_a and_o

good_a work_n that_o come_v from_o we_o and_o that_o god_n take_v this_o way_n in_o save_v his_o people_n be_v very_o clear_a and_o evident_a from_o that_o weighty_a and_o soul-refreshing_a

all_o for_o we_o now_o that_o this_o may_v shine_v the_o clear_a let_v we_o consider_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o first_o there_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o this_o that_o he_o will_v stoop_v so_o low_a as_o to_o contract_v a_o covenant_n with_o man_n of_o righteousness_n and_o life_n when_o a_o l_o that_o man_n can_v do_v be_v office_n due_a for_o that_o which_o he_o have_v already_o receive_v in_o his_o creation_n but_o first_o this_o covenant_n be_v not_o strike_v or_o make_v up_o in_o a_o mediator_n
