patritian_n do_v hold_v but_o it_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n every_o covenant_n have_v its_o condition_n annex_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o book_n of_o

the_o covenant_n but_o a_o condition_n be_v annex_v though_o now_o hence_o we_o may_v argue_v and_o none_o but_o enemy_n to_o the_o gospel_n can_v deny_v it_o if_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n do_v bind_v a_o man_n conscience_n then_o certain_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n bind_v a_o man_n conscience_n too_o but_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a and_o therefore_o the_o condition_n of_o it_o bind_v if_o you_o ask_v what_o be_v this_o to_o obedience_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o obedience_n be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n as_o the_o forename_a scripture_n express_v luke_n 〈◊〉_d 72._o thus_o you_o see_v the_o law_n of_o god_n bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o all_o the_o regenerate_v this_o be_v the_o three_o use_n use_v 4_o 4._o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n supreme_a power_n to_o bind_v conscience_n then_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o no_o creature_n can_v dispense_v with_o it_o nor_o

do_v not_o trouble_v their_o thought_n to_o aim_v at_o god_n commandment_n in_o it_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o conscience_n will_v not_o count_v this_o obedience_n for_o conscience_n feel_v no_o bond_n

regenerate_v you_o see_v here_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n bind_v the_o conscience_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o regenerate_a have_v any_o conscience_n at_o all_o as_o certain_o they_o have_v the_o best_a conscience_n of_o all_o man_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o bind_v their_o conscience_n free_v from_o what_o christian_n be_v free_v we_o confess_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a be_v free_v from_o many_o thing_n by_o christ_n first_o it_o be_v free_v from_o the_o yoke_n and_o bondage_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n gal._n 5.1_o stand_v fast_o in_o the_o liberty_n wherewith_o

it_o end_v in_o christ_n second_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a be_v free_v from_o seek_v justification_n by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n indeed_o the_o first_o covenant_n be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n he_o that_o do_v they_o shall_v live_v in_o they_o but_o the_o second_o covenant_n speak_v better_a thing_n he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v it_o be_v true_a if_o god_n have_v not_o send_v his_o son_n we_o must_v have_v seek_v justification_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n though_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o find_v it_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n yet_o conscience_n be_v bind_v that_o way_n but_o now_o that_o 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
