year_n before_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o law_n which_o come_v after_o can_v make_v void_a the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o it_o shall_v do_v if_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o

handle_v as_o salvation_n come_v in_o part_n by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n a._n yes_o very_o it_o be_v make_v void_a notwithstanding_o for_o if_o salvation_n be_v before_o the_o law_n be_v only_o by_o grace_n and_o now_o shall_v be_v by_o work_n and_o grace_n then_o the_o promise_v give_v to_o abraham_n of_o grace_n only_o shall_v be_v make_v void_a and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 18._o verse_n do_v show_v that_o if_o it_o be_v of_o the_o law_n it_o can_v be_v by_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n yea_o the_o law_n be_v so_o far_o from_o bring_v salvation_n that_o through_o the_o

in_o ourselves_o as_o also_o to_o serve_v as_o a_o rule_n whereby_o we_o be_v to_o direct_v and_o amend_v our_o life_n q._n how_o be_v that_o show_v a._n 1._o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o

the_o same_o but_o that_o moses_n may_v be_v a_o mediator_n to_o receive_v the_o law_n from_o god_n mouth_n and_o that_o they_o may_v receive_v it_o from_o he_o q._n what_o observe_v you_o from_o that_o a._n that_o the_o law_n be_v terrible_a unto_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o it_o drive_v we_o to_o seek_v for_o a_o mediator_n which_o be_v christ_n

for_o the_o law_n will_v also_o take_v away_o sin_n and_o the_o conscience_n of_o sin_n if_o any_o man_n be_v able_a perfect_o to_o observe_v it_o for_o the_o law_n of_o itself_o cause_v no_o sin_n

then_o how_o the_o law_n serve_v to_o the_o help_v forward_o to_o the_o justification_n which_o be_v by_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n a._n the_o law_n shut_v all_o man_n &_o all_o that_o be_v of_o

and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n but_o a_o special_a help_n towards_o the_o obtain_n thereof_o q._n how_o be_v this_o further_o clear_v a._n by_o this_o that_o the_o apostle_n compare_v the_o law_n to_o 23._o gal._n 3._o 23._o a_o garrison_n which_o be_v set_v in_o a_o town_n to_o keep_v such_o inhabitant_n thereof_o in_o awe_n and_o servitude_n as_o
