that_o be_v the_o work_n of_o it_o indeed_o but_o now_o we_o will_v needs_o make_v it_o to_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o look_v upon_o it_o so_o and_o therefore_o do_v what_o we_o do_v in_o

the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o one_o be_v their_o freedom_n by_o birth_n they_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o not_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n and_o therefore_o what_o need_v they_o care_v for_o this_o liberty_n the_o other_o be_v their_o own_o work_n they_o make_v account_v their_o own_o penny_n be_v good_a silver_n enough_o though_o the_o lord_n know_v it_o

from_o it_o here_o we_o may_v discuss_v the_o question_n how_o far_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o law_n and_o how_o far_o by_o jesus_n christ_n i_o will_v rather_o reserve_v that_o to_o another_o

of_o heart_n towards_o god_n you_o know_v that_o sickness_n do_v weaken_v a_o man_n exceed_o in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o can_v scarce_o go_v upon_o his_o leg_n he_o be_v a_o prisoner_n a_o great_a

and_o scarce_o worth_a the_o ground_n he_o go_v upon_o a_o while_n long_o he_o be_v a_o prisoner_n under_o that_o weakness_n so_o it_o be_v here_o therefore_o say_v the_o psalmist_n then_o 32._o will_v i_o run_v the_o way_n of_o thy_o commandment_n when_o thou_o shall_v enlarge_v my_o heart_n now_o the_o lord_n jesus_n when_o he_o come_v in_o with_o pardon_n speak_v peace_n smile_v upon_o

to_o be_v bind_v in_o affliction_n and_o iron_n to_o endure_v sad_a thing_n upon_o your_o spirit_n for_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n who_o convince_v you_o this_o or_o that_o be_v a_o sin_n be_v

much_o of_o the_o will_n in_o it_o and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o wicked_a and_o therefore_o now_o the_o spirit_n must_v needs_o be_v grieve_v what_o can_v such_o a_o poor_a creature_n expect_v but_o to_o be_v bring_v under_o bondage_n as_o you_o see_v it_o in_o david_n his_o plot_v and_o contrive_v the_o death_n of_o vriah_n these_o sin_n in_o cold_a blood_n when_o a_o man_n be_v not_o under_o
