christ_n jesus_n have_v seal_v up_o a_o new_a covenant_n in_o his_o own_o blood_n conscience_n be_v free_v from_o that_o former_a rom._n 3.28_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n for_o though_o justify_v faith_n never_o be_v without_o the_o sincere_a do_v of_o the_o law_n yet_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n have_v no_o influence_n into_o justification_n conscience_n be_v free_v from_o seek_v justification_n thereby_o three_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a be_v free_v from_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o use_v the_o law_n as_o a_o rule_n of_o their_o life_n and_o in_o sincerity_n to_o obey_v it_o but_o be_v not_o bind_v by_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o rigour_n of_o it_o that_o they_o be_v free_v from_o and_o so_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n 6.14_o i_o grant_v that_o all_o carnal_a people_n who_o be_v yet_o out_o of_o christ_n do_v all_o lie_v under_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n and_o as_o long_o as_o they_o submit_v not_o to_o jesus_n christ_n nor_o get_v into_o he_o they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o keep_v it_o though_o they_o can_v they_o can_v sin_v in_o one_o tittle_n but_o conscience_n will_v condemn_v they_o before_o god_n they_o shall_v be_v condemn_v for_o every_o vain_a thought_n for_o every_o idle_a word_n for_o every_o the_o least_o sin_n for_o every_o the_o least_o lust_n for_o any_o the_o least_o omission_n of_o good_a they_o lie_v under_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n and_o they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o keep_v it_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v countable_a for_o every_o transgression_n because_o they_o be_v under_o the_o law_n but_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a be_v free_a from_o this_o rigour_n because_o they_o be_v under_o grace_n 7.6_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o law_n the_o lord_n have_v deliver_v they_o by_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v by_o the_o gospel_n to_o all_o that_o obedience_n that_o the_o law_n in_o rigour_n require_v four_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a be_v free_v from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o though_o the_o law_n do_v condemn_v yet_o their_o conscience_n need_v not_o fear_v it_o 8.1_o because_o they_o be_v in_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n which_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n indeed_o those_o that_o be_v not_o regenerate_v not_o ingraff_v into_o christ_n they_o be_v still_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o gunshot_n the_o law_n do_v condemn_v they_o and_o they_o have_v no_o shelter_n and_o their_o conscience_n be_v bind_v by_o it_o and_o they_o shall_v find_v one_o day_n that_o by_o it_o their_o conscience_n will_v condemn_v they_o to_o hell_n it_o may_v be_v now_o for_o the_o present_a their_o conscience_n be_v quiet_a and_o they_o choke_v it_o and_o so_o it_o let_v they_o alone_o yet_o they_o be_v condemn_v in_o conscience_n and_o one_o day_n they_o shall_v find_v it_o but_o the_o regenerate_a be_v by_o christ_n free_v in_o conscience_n from_o all_o this_o condemnation_n thus_o far_o we_o grant_v but_o the_o antinomist_n and_o i_o know_v not_o what_o marcionite_n will_v have_v more_o anti●●mis●●_n they_o can_v abide_v to_o hear_v that_o a_o regenerate_a person_n be_v bind_v to_o any_o sincere_a obedience_n to_o god_n law_n as_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o life_n they_o cry_v out_o against_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o once_o the_o babylonian_n do_v against_o jerusalem_n down_o with_o it_o down_o with_o it_o even_o to_o the_o ground_n o_o you_o do_v not_o preach_v christ_n if_o you_o talk_v of_o the_o law_n belove_a these_o be_v drunken_a opinion_n fit_a to_o be_v preach_v among_o drunkard_n and_o epicure_n and_o monster_n then_o among_o the_o peculiar_a one_o of_o god_n the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n so_o that_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o make_v it_o a_o rule_n of_o life_n nay_o the_o scripture_n call_v it_o christ_n bond_n whereby_o he_o bind_v his_o people_n to_o he_o 3_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n set_v themselves_o and_o the_o ruler_n take_v counsel_n together_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o against_o his_o anoint_v say_v let_v we_o break_v their_o bond_n and_o cast_v away_o their_o cord_n from_o we_o tush_o we_o will_v not_o be_v tie_v by_o his_o law_n nor_o be_v so_o precise_o straitlaced_n with_o such_o commandment_n as_o these_o here_o the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v call_v bond_n and_o cord_n god_n people_n be_v bind_v to_o he_o by_o they_o but_o the_o wicked_a they_o stand_v out_o and_o refuse_v to_o be_v bind_v now_o if_o the_o law_n be_v call_v a_o bond_n i_o pray_v what_o bond_n be_v it_o but_o of_o conscience_n it_o be_v not_o a_o bond_n like_o a_o prisoner_n fetter_n to_o be_v put_v about_o their_o leg_n this_o be_v a_o spiritual_a bond_n that_o bind_v the_o conscience_n but_o let_v i_o prove_v it_o to_o you_o by_o argument_n there_o be_v sundry_a argument_n to_o prove_v it_o 17.10_o first_o that_o which_o have_v power_n to_o say_v to_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a this_o be_v thy_o duty_n and_o this_o must_v be_v do_v that_o bind_v the_o conscience_n but_o the_o law_n of_o god_n have_v power_n to_o say_v thus_o to_o the_o conscience_n this_o be_v your_o duty_n who_o can_v tell_v better_a than_o christ_n when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v command_v you_o say_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n we_o have_v do_v that_o which_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v mark_v he_o speak_v of_o god_n law_n thing_n command_v now_o the_o law_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o catalogue_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v command_v we_o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o these_o thing_n say_v our_o saviour_n know_v it_o be_v your_o duty_n here_o you_o see_v the_o law_n have_v power_n to_o say_v to_o the_o conscience_n this_o be_v your_o duty_n but_o you_o will_v object_v we_o be_v under_o faith_n and_o do_v you_o tell_v we_o of_o law_n i_o answer_v as_o chrysostome_n answer_v out_o of_o paul_n 3.31_o do_v we_o then_o make_v void_a the_o law_n through_o faith_n god_n forbid_v yea_o we_o establish_v the_o law_n see_v how_o the_o apostle_n do_v abhor_v this_o thought_n god_n forbid_v say_v he_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o to_o teach_v such_o a_o abominable_a doctrine_n no_o no_o we_o establish_v the_o law_n hear_v what_o christ_n say_v himself_o think_v not_o that_o i_o be_o come_v to_o destroy_v the_o law_n i_o be_o not_o come_v to_o destroy_v but_o to_o fulfil_v it_o o_o think_v some_o if_o we_o believe_v in_o christ_n then_o we_o hope_v we_o shall_v have_v do_v with_o the_o law_n no_o no_o say_v christ_n you_o shall_v as_o soon_o pull_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n out_o of_o their_o place_n as_o disannul_v one_o tittle_n of_o the_o law_n 2._o second_o that_o which_o have_v this_o authority_n that_o the_o breach_n of_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n bind_v conscience_n but_o the_o law_n have_v this_o authority_n that_o neither_o regenerate_v nor_o unregenerate_a can_v transgress_v it_o but_o they_o sin_n therefore_o the_o law_n bind_v their_o conscience_n for_o the_o regenerate_a and_o all_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o take_v heed_n of_o sin_n 3.4_o whosoever_o commit_v sin_n transgress_v also_o the_o law_n david_n be_v a_o

heretic_n condemn_v by_o the_o church_n of_o god_n their_o heresy_n be_v to_o hedge_v out_o the_o regenerate_a from_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o s_o t_o augustine_n prove_v it_o against_o they_o that_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n be_v ever_o the_o rule_n of_o obedience_n and_o shall_v so_o continue_v with_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o every_o transgression_n

so_o much_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v thus_o or_o thus_o upon_o other_o ground_n and_o inducement_n it_o start_v not_o at_o that_o except_o it_o be_v convince_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o it_o

to_o startle_v this_o affect_v it_o and_o bind_v it_o s_o t_o paul_n when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o approve_v himself_o and_o his_o preach_n to_o man_n conscience_n 4.2_o what_o follow_v if_o our_o

man_n deliver_v over_o to_o satan_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o see_v what_o ministry_n affect_v most_o and_o do_v the_o most_o good_a in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n namely_o that_o which_o bring_v the_o clear_a voice_n of_o god_n spirit_n call_v to_o obedience_n and_o bind_v the_o conscience_n they_o can_v hear_v with_o ease_n and_o great_a pleasure_n the_o sermon_n of_o those_o who_o

can_v make_v a_o sport_n of_o it_o though_o they_o hear_v their_o sin_n with_o humane_a learning_n declaim_v against_o when_o the_o preacher_n do_v not_o clear_o preach_v the_o lord_n voice_n though_o

know_v when_o it_o be_v bind_v and_o when_o it_o be_v but_o dally_v and_o jest_v with_o and_o therefore_o if_o minister_n desire_v to_o have_v their_o ministry_n work_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o their_o people_n they_o must_v show_v they_o god_n authority_n and_o confirm_v it_o by_o his_o word_n and_o let_v they_o see_v that_o it_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o which_o

it_o so_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n only_o be_v the_o supreme_a bond_n of_o conscience_n then_o this_o teach_v we_o to_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o god_n word_n in_o that_o which_o we_o do_v if_o we_o will_v satisfy_v conscience_n i_o say_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o god_n word_n not_o only_o to_o do_v that_o which_o it_o may_v be_v be_v in_o god_n word_n conscience_n count_v that_o to_o be_v nothing_o but_o to_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o god_n word_n conscience_n will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v with_o any_o obedience_n that_o we_o do_v if_o we_o have_v not_o a_o eye_n to_o god_n word_n whatever_o we_o

we_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o that_o if_o we_o do_v not_o aim_v at_o god_n will_v in_o do_v what_o we_o do_v conscience_n count_v our_o obedience_n as_o no_o obedience_n at_o all_o as_o for_o example_n you_o that_o be_v husband_n you_o love_v your_o wife_n but_o be_v it_o because_o god_n command_v it_o it_o may_v be_v you_o love_v they_o because_o they_o love_v you_o or_o because_o your_o
