answer_v that_o the_o mosaical_a government_n be_v spiritual_a first_o because_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n pen_v it_o second_o because_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a but_o the_o part_n be_v of_o one_o kind_n in_o his_o course_n and_o there_o be_v as_o great_a difference_n between_o this_o government_n and_o a_o government_n simple_o external_a as_o there_o be_v between_o god_n law_n and_o man_n tradition_n for_o the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a and_o man_n tradition_n be_v carnal_a and_o purge_v no_o more_o but_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o cup_n whereas_o god_n word_n be_v penetrative_a even_o to_o the_o partition_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o sinew_n and_o marrow_n and_o this_o government_n be_v god_n word_n which_o cleanse_v the_o

s._n paul_n say_v that_o the_o law_n be_v good_a if_o it_o be_v lawful_o use_v then_o must_v we_o without_o question_n seek_v out_o the_o lawful_a use_n thereof_o that_o be_v we_o must_v take_v it_o after_o the_o spirit_n &_o newness_n thereof_o and_o not_o after_o the_o old_a letter_n now_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o law_n be_v the_o equity_n thereof_o but_o the_o letter_n be_v the_o rigour_n

give_v for_o the_o transgression_n for_o by_o that_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v to_o use_v it_o to_o correct_v transgression_n and_o that_o self_n place_n serve_v for_o a_o far_a explication_n of_o the_o lawful_a use_n of_o the_o law_n whereof_o we_o speak_v in_o the_o former_a article_n for_o the_o law_n consist_v in_o commandment_n command_v natural_a equity_n and_o thereof_o do_v s._n paul_n call_v it_o the_o law_n of_o commandment_n but_o the_o gospel_n require_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n whereof_o the_o creature_n man_n who_o be_v natural_a be_v uncapable_a which_o perfection_n
