not_o necessary_o infer_v that_o therefore_o we_o have_v righteousness_n more_o excellent_a than_o angel_n or_o adam_n for_o it_o be_v only_o impute_v to_o we_o for_o that_o righteousness_n which_o

this_o they_o urge_v to_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o universal_a grace_n give_v to_o all_o now_o to_o answer_v this_o first_o i_o conclude_v as_o before_o have_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o nature_n

the_o creature_n be_v make_v so_o and_o so_o in_o adam_n there_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o love_n and_o pity_n but_o yet_o in_o regard_n of_o some_o effect_n which_o can_v not_o be_v exercise_v in_o that_o estate_n his_o love_n can_v have_v no_o such_o name_n as_o mercy_n or_o pity_n thus_o adam_n for_o his_o faith_n that_o faith_n which_o he_o do_v put_v forth_o in_o god_n promise_n about_o eternal_a life_n upon_o his_o obedience_n be_v a_o justify_v faith_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o but_o have_v not_o the_o denomination_n or_o respect_n of_o justify_v because_o such_o a_o object_n be_v impossible_a in_o that_o condition_n hence_o that_o faith_n of_o dependency_n which_o adam_n have_v be_v the_o same_o in_o nature_n which_o justify_v faith_n be_v therefore_o to_o the_o

that_o be_v so_o divide_a and_o distract_v that_o if_o after_o any_o duty_n we_o shall_v put_v that_o question_n to_o it_o as_o god_n do_v to_o satan_n from_o whence_o come_v thou_o it_o will_v

it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v consummate_a if_o therefore_o you_o ask_v whether_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v by_o the_o law_n or_o by_o the_o gospel_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v by_o both_o and_o that_o these_o must_v not_o be_v separate_v one_o from_o the_o other_o in_o the_o command_n of_o these_o duty_n hence_o fourthly_a unbelief_n be_v a_o sin_n against_o the_o law_n as_o well_o as_o

to_o be_v account_v and_o indeed_o some_o have_v not_o be_v afraid_a to_o speak_v so_o of_o christ_n but_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n be_v so_o necessary_a that_o you_o

to_o give_v we_o more_o exact_a precept_n than_o moses_n deliver_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o therefore_o that_o christ_n be_v not_o here_o a_o interpreter_n but_o a_o reformer_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o this_o sermon_n of_o our_o saviour_n have_v breed_v many_o thought_n of_o heart_n for_o because_o of_o these_o precept_n here_o not_o right_o understand_v the_o heathen_n take_v occasion_n to_o

for_o when_o julian_n and_o other_o do_v urge_v that_o see_v by_o christ_n command_n we_o may_v not_o resist_v evil_a but_o rather_o be_v prepare_v to_o receive_v more_o injury_n therefore_o no_o

though_o they_o do_v not_o exclude_v the_o office_n of_o a_o magistrate_n or_o our_o desire_n of_o he_o to_o aid_v we_o in_o our_o defence_n yet_o they_o do_v forbid_v the_o frequent_a and_o common_a

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

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

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

they_o have_v be_v subservient_fw-fr to_o each_o other_o in_o the_o great_a work_n of_o conversion_n i_o know_v it_o be_v of_o great_a consequence_n to_o give_v a_o exact_a difference_n between_o

unto_o god_n from_o his_o sin_n he_o can_v have_v hope_n or_o consolation_n in_o any_o thing_n he_o do_v but_o it_o must_v be_v in_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o that_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o law_n and_o gospel_n lie_v not_o in_o this_o as_o some_o do_v assign_v that_o one_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o other_o not_o for_o god_n use_v both_o as_o i_o shall_v
