none_o can_v be_v ignorant_a last_o of_o all_o by_o that_o that_o man_n see_v by_o daily_a experience_n how_o they_o continual_o sin_v against_o this_o so_o perfect_a a_o law_n and_o perceive_v that_o

it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o distrust_v themselves_o &_o their_o own_o strength_n they_o grow_v to_o have_v a_o great_a and_o earnest_a desire_n of_o the_o promise_a saviour_n and_o redeemer_n and_o

they_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o righteousness_n and_o be_v dispose_v and_o prepare_v to_o take_v hold_n on_o christ_n by_o faith_n so_o that_o very_o true_a be_v both_o those_o say_n of_o the_o

neither_o perfect_o understand_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o god_n nor_o keep_v in_o mind_n that_o which_o we_o have_v understand_v we_o have_v evermore_o need_v of_o this_o glass_n of_o the_o

5.17_o therefore_o the_o law_n be_v most_o necessary_a which_o may_v terrify_v we_o with_o the_o threaten_n and_o hold_v we_o in_o from_o offend_v and_o with_o the_o promise_n may_v stir_v we_o

sin_n dwell_v in_o he_o whereby_o we_o be_v make_v weak_a unto_o goodness_n and_o prone_a to_o ill_a therefore_o the_o law_n be_v profitable_a unto_o we_o by_o which_o our_o sin_n and_o infirmity_n be_v make_v know_v to_o we_o we_o may_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o acknowledge_v how_o impossible_a it_o be_v that_o we_o by_o our_o own_o work_n shall_v at_o any_o time_n be_v justify_v or_o save_v and_o therefore_o shall_v be_v fill_v with_o the_o great_a desire_n hunger_n and_o thirst_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o embrace_v he_o by_o faith_n and_o thus_o the_o law_n when_o it_o can_v never_o justify_v we_o yet_o it_o may_v always_o draw_v we_o near_o unto_o christ_n who_o justifi_v more_o and_o more_o to_o be_v justify_v x._o the_o moral_a law_n touch_v the_o

not_o to_o be_v abolish_v by_o christ_n and_o so_o not_o abolish_v at_o all_o but_o only_o touch_v the_o curse_n and_o condemnation_n because_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n 8.1_o rom._n 8.1_o which_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n but_o yet_o the_o law_n be_v profitable_a even_o in_o the_o condemnation_n and_o

that_o they_o may_v avoid_v condemnation_n xi_o error_n therefore_o we_o condemn_v those_o which_o reject_v the_o law_n out_o of_o the_o church_n as_o unprofitable_a and_o not_o pertain_v to_o christian_n and_o again_o those_o which_o teach_v that_o a_o man_n may_v either_o whole_o or_o in_o part_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n fith_o it_o be_v rather_o give_v 1.29_o io._n 1.29_o to_o
