divine_a reason_n why_o god_n use_v no_o sacramental_a sign_n nor_o figurative_a sacrifice_n be_v for_o that_o adam_n and_o his_o posterity_n have_v not_o altogether_o forget_v that_o divine_a light_n of_o life_n which_o he_o be_v endue_v with_o in_o his_o creation_n though_o he_o have_v new_o lose_v the_o possession_n thereof_o yet_o he_o be_v more_o capable_a of_o inspiration_n than_o the_o next_o generation_n be_v who_o have_v smother_v even_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n by_o multiply_v their_o transgression_n and_o this_o be_v a_o principal_a cause_n why_o they_o live_v in_o this_o age_n above_o 960._o life_n but_o in_o the_o second_o age_n god_n do_v not_o only_o for_o their_o overgrowth_n of_o sinfulness_n cut_v short_a the_o day_n of_o man_n but_o he_o also_o do_v choose_v himself_o a_o people_n from_o the_o loin_n of_o abraham_n and_o renew_v unto_o he_o the_o promise_n of_o his_o bless_a seed_n and_o make_v he_o a_o great_a nation_n and_o church_n unto_o himself_o and_o to_o this_o church_n and_o people_n god_n give_v sacramental_a sign_n to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o all_o other_o nation_n to_o be_v his_o own_o and_o ordain_v they_o statute_n law_n and_o

his_o death_n unto_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v undeniable_a and_o manifest_a that_o he_o require_v no_o other_o manner_n of_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o they_o than_o he_o do_v of_o the_o first_o people_n for_o god_n be_v unchangeable_a in_o his_o nature_n therefore_o he_o can_v nor_o will_v not_o have_v any_o other_o kind_n of_o worship_n but_o one_o simple_a pure_a worship_n of_o praise_n prayer_n and_o thanksgigiving_n and_o feed_v of_o this_o worship_n with_o the_o plain_a ministration_n of_o his_o promise_a word_n of_o life_n preach_v unto_o they_o ceremony_n but_o why_o be_v this_o second_o age_n burden_v with_o ordinance_n and_o figure_n because_o this_o age_n be_v drown_v with_o the_o growth_n of_o sin_n and_o incapable_a of_o light_n for_o sin_n by_o the_o law_n become_v more_o rage_a and_o sinful_a and_o the_o law_n be_v weak_a and_o can_v not_o prevail_v with_o man_n because_o of_o sin_n for_o man_n sinfulness_n be_v so_o great_a that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v righteousness_n can_v not_o dwell_v in_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o it_o must_v be_v consume_v for_o this_o cause_n the_o law_n become_v death_n unto_o man_n and_o man_n by_o the_o law_n become_v dead_a for_o the_o law_n do_v not_o only_o reprove_v but_o condemn_v but_o in_o this_o three_o age_n the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n become_v incarnate_a and_o be_v make_v man_n that_o man_n may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n thus_o that_o christ_n who_o be_v promise_v to_o the_o first_o age_n be_v become_v our_o righteousness_n so_o that_o now_o the_o spirit_n be_v communicate_v in_o a_o full_a measure_n and_o more_o evident_a and_o powerful_a than_o it_o be_v unto_o the_o jew_n in_o figurative_a type_n and_o ceremony_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v more_o spiritual_a and_o god_n will_v have_v his_o worship_n now_o to_o be_v know_v to_o be_v only_a
eternal_a son_n of_o god_n by_o generation_n and_o to_o proceed_v from_o god_n by_o spiration_n in_o creation_n and_o to_o be_v communicate_v unto_o man_n since_o his_o fall_n by_o supernatural_a inspiration_n and_o unite_v unto_o man_n and_o man_n unto_o it_o by_o incarnation_n and_o minister_v unto_o man_n by_o external_a dispensation_n thus_o the_o word_n descend_v unto_o man_n by_o

and_o the_o spirit_n can_v be_v divide_v nor_o separate_v they_o be_v one_o for_o this_o cause_n god_n use_v the_o external_a ministration_n of_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n that_o he_o may_v inspire_v and_o regenerate_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n after_o this_o manner_n be_v the_o minister_n and_o messenger_n that_o be_v send_v of_o god_n endue_v with_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o let_v no_o man_n say_v that_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n if_o he_o want_v the_o light_n of_o the_o word_n neither_o can_v any_o man_n have_v the_o word_n but_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n be_v both_o make_v manifest_a in_o this_o that_o they_o reveal_v the_o hide_a thing_n of_o god_n even_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n 1_o cor._n 2._o 9_o 10._o
