proceed_v from_o three_o special_a cause_n the_o first_o be_v god_n hide_v and_o conceal_v of_o his_o purpose_n in_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n for_o his_o purpose_n in_o give_v the_o moral_a law_n be_v not_o that_o israel_n shall_v do_v it_o and_o be_v justify_v thereby_o which_o after_o man_n fall_n and_o corruption_n be_v impossible_a but_o only_o to_o teach_v they_o and_o we_o what_o be_v

of_o righteousness_n and_o utter_o unable_a to_o perform_v righteousness_n they_o may_v be_v drive_v out_o of_o themselves_o and_o so_o prepare_v to_o receive_v christ_n and_o embrace_v his_o

neither_o do_v he_o ordain_v they_o to_o be_v of_o themselves_o purgation_n from_o sin_n and_o expiation_n of_o iniquity_n but_o only_o to_o be_v type_n foreshadow_v christ_n and_o his_o

this_o be_v god_n counsel_n and_o purpose_n in_o give_v the_o law_n moral_a and_o ceremonial_a yet_o he_o do_v conceal_v and_o not_o in_o plain_a word_n express_v it_o he_o tell_v they_o not_o that_o he_o mean_v by_o put_v they_o upon_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o law_n to_o make_v they_o find_v out_o their_o own_o weakness_n and_o insufficiency_n and_o thereupon_o flee_v to_o christ_n the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o ceremony_n and_o sacrifice_n but_o contrary_o he_o require_v their_o performance_n of_o the_o law_n for_o the_o obtain_n of_o life_n and_o do_v so_o speak_v as_o though_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a for_o they_o to_o fulfil_v it_o and_o to_o be_v justify_v thereby_o and_o so_o they_o common_o do_v understand_v his_o word_n erroneous_o even_o as_o the_o papist_n do_v at_o this_o day_n think_v that_o god_n will_v never_o have_v command_v they_o to_o do_v the_o law_n if_o he_o have_v not_o know_v that_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o do_v it_o as_o he_o command_v and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o the_o obscurity_n of_o that_o covenant_n the_o second_o cause_n be_v the_o mixture_n of_o the_o legal_a part_n of_o the_o covenant_n with_o the_o evangelical_a and_o the_o join_n of_o they_o both_o as_o it_o be_v in_o one_o continue_a speech_n for_o first_o god_n require_v by_o the_o moral_a law_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v it_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o life_n then_o immediate_o he_o add_v unto_o it_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o ordain_v sacrifice_n for_o sin_n which_o do_v declare_v they_o to_o be_v

death_n and_o cut_v off_o so_o that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n do_v still_o imagine_v themselves_o to_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o from_o that_o manner_n of_o speech_n use_v by_o god_n and_o from_o the_o title_n of_o law_n and_o statute_n which_o god_n give_v to_o the_o ceremony_n and_o from_o the_o word_n before_o go_v they_o gather_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n oblation_n and_o other_o rite_n be_v rather_o law_n to_o be_v observe_v for_o righteousness_n than_o seal_v of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o sign_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n they_o think_v the_o use_n of_o they_o to_o consist_v in_o do_v not_o in_o signify_v and_o stir_v up_o of_o faith_n to_o lay_v hold_n on_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v a_o second_o cause_n of_o the_o darkness_n of_o that_o covenant_n the_o three_o cause_n be_v the_o great_a penury_n and_o scarcity_n of_o evangelical_a promise_n in_o that_o covenant_n and_o the_o great_a inequality_n and_o disproportion_n which_o be_v between_o they_o and_o the_o legal_a commandment_n of_o work_n for_o in_o that_o covenant_n we_o find_v few_o promise_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n but_o only_o upon_o condition_n of_o work_n christ_n be_v very_o seldom_o point_v at_o in_o plain_a word_n the_o evangelical_a promise_n as_o they_o be_v rare_a and_o very_a few_o in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n which_o god_n give_v

commandment_n and_o promise_n be_v
many_o and_o those_o very_a plain_a in_o every_o place_n and_o this_o be_v a_o special_a cause_n which_o make_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n to_o misconstrue_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o covenant_n and_o to_o think_v that_o all_o salvation_n be_v to_o be_v obtain_v by_o work_n and_o thus_o the_o covenant_n be_v obscure_a and_o the_o end_n thereof_o be_v hide_v from_o their_o sight_n they_o can_v
