it_o may_v best_o be_v find_v but_o if_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o law_n be_v so_o straight_o as_o it_o will_v admit_v nothing_o but_o a_o perfect_v observation_n in_o he_o that_o shall_v have_v the_o reward_n why_o will_v you_o seek_v too_o establish_v your_o own_o righteousness_n and_o so_o void_a yourselves_o clean_o of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o so_o while_o you_o will_v be_v justify_v both_o by_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n you_o shall_v be_v justify_v neither_o by_o christ_n nor_o by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n for_o the_o law_n can_v abide_v no_o transgression_n nor_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n any_o satisfaction_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v perfect_a righteousness_n in_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n and_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n whereupon_o the_o devil_n sophistry_n conclude_v that_o if_o justification_n be_v by_o either_o of_o these_o mean_n by_o itself_o much_o rather_o it_o must_v be_v when_o they_o be_v both_o join_v together_o wherefore_o we_o must_v see_v whether_o they_o may_v be_v join_v together_o or_o no._n let_v we_o therefore_o first_o hear_v the_o law_n the_o law_n in_o deed_n be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o righteousness_n to_o justify_v not_o the_o hearer_n but_o the_o observer_n the_o man_n that_o do_v all_o thing_n command_v by_o the_o law_n shall_v live_v thereby_o that_o be_v by_o his_o righteousness_n have_v deserve_v eternal_a life_n but_o here_o be_v a_o perfect_a observation_n require_v or_o else_o no_o righteousness_n obtain_v no_o life_n deserve_v for_o curse_a be_v he_o that_o abide_v not_o in_o all_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v they_o so_o that_o here_o appear_v a_o double_a condition_n annex_v to_o the_o law_n the_o one_o be_v a_o absolute_a and_o perfect_v observation_n require_v of_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v reward_v the_o other_o everlasting_a curse_n and_o damnation_n threaten_v to_o he_o that_o have_v transgress_v by_o which_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n grace_n and_o work_v merit_n and_o mercy_n be_v of_o so_o contrary_a nature_n as_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v be_v join_v together_o in_o the_o attain_n of_o eternal_a salvation_n one_o transgression_n if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o in_o a_o man_n whole_a life_n and_o that_o never_o so_o small_a yet_o such_o be_v the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n as_o it_o bar_v we_o from_o righteousness_n and_o make_v we_o subject_a to_o the_o sentence_n of_o god_n curse_n now_o let_v we_o on_o the_o other_o side_n consider_v the_o gospel_n and_o see_v whether_o that_o admit_v any_o mixture_n of_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n by_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v assure_v 2._o that_o we_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n but_o grace_n be_v a_o word_n of_o such_o freeness_n as_o it_o cease_v to_o be_v grace_n if_o you_o add_v any_o thing_n to_o it_o if_o it_o be_v of_o work_v say_v the_o apostle_n then_o be_v it_o not_o of_o grace_n and_o if_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n then_o be_v it_o not_o of_o work_n for_o grace_n be_v not_o grace_n if_o it_o be_v not_o free_a and_o it_o can_v not_o be_v true_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n through_o the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n jesus_n if_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n come_v in_o place_n of_o satisfaction_n beside_o the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n jesus_n ▪_o 3._o but_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o the_o law_n say_v it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n for_o so_o be_v all_o the_o five_o book_n of_o moses_n account_v that_o abraham_n have_v two_o son_n one_o of_o a_o bondmaid_n another_o of_o a_o free_a woman_n the_o one_o call_v ishmael_n the_o other_o name_v isaac_n ishmael_n be_v bear_v of_o agar_n the_o egyptian_a which_o be_v a_o bondwoman_n isaac_n be_v bear_v of_o sara_n the_o wife_n of_o abraham_n which_o be_v a_o free_a woman_n such_o as_o agar_n the_o mother_n be_v such_o be_v ishmael_n her_o son_n and_o isaac_n be_v free_a as_o his_o mother_n sara_n be_v first_o we_o must_v observe_v here_o that_o this_o comparison_n be_v altogether_o within_o the_o family_n of_o abraham_n that_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o seek_v ishmael_n and_o his_o posterity_n among_o they_o that_o be_v altogether_o without_o the_o church_n and_o profess_v open_a hatred_n against_o the_o same_o but_o even_o in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n even_o in_o the_o family_n of_o abraham_n those_o that_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o occupy_v no_o small_a ro●mes_n in_o the_o church_n but_o even_o the_o high_a oftentimes_o as_o ishmael_n for_o a_o season_n be_v the_o first_o bear_v of_o abraham_n be_v account_v as_o the_o heir_n of_o abraham_n and_o so_o the_o most_o principal_a person_n in_o all_o the_o household_n wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v at_o this_o day_n know_v who_o be_v the_o ismaelit_n we_o must_v not_o look_v to_o the_o profane_a nation_n of_o the_o turk_n and_o misereante_n that_o open_o despise_v the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o even_o to_o those_o that_o make_v the_o bold_a and_o loud_a claim_n to_o be_v heir_n of_o the_o church_n even_o the_o papist_n they_o have_v their_o profession_n so_o have_v ishmael_n they_o have_v their_o title_n so_o have_v ishmael_n they_o stand_v upon_o their_o prerogative_n and_o so_o do_v ishmael_n they_o will_v have_v a_o place_n in_o the_o family_n of_o abraham_n yea_o they_o will_v thrust_v out_o isaac_n they_o claim_v they_o say_v by_o the_o elder_a title_n to_o be_v heir_n of_o the_o church_n yea_o they_o ween_v they_o have_v the_o church_n itself_o in_o possession_n and_o here_o it_o be_v marvelous_a how_o they_o swell_v and_o stand_v upon_o tiptoe_n if_o you_o seem_v to_o allow_v they_o any_o place_n at_o all_o in_o the_o church_n though_o it_o be_v but_o in_o the_o belfry_n they_o will_v straight_o way_n perk_v up_o into_o the_o chancel_n but_o soft_a a_o while_n my_o master_n we_o allow_v you_o no_o other_o place_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n then_o that_o which_o ishmael_n sometime_o occupy_v in_o the_o family_n of_o abraham_n and_o that_o in_o deed_n be_v no_o base_a room_n in_o outward_a appearance_n and_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n for_o who_o be_v think_v to_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o abraham_n for_o sixteen_o or_o seventeen_o year_n but_o ishmael_n the_o elder_a son_n of_o abraham_n you_o who_o seem_v to_o have_v more_o right_a unto_o the_o inheritance_n of_o abraham_n than_o he_o that_o have_v the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o first_o beget_v but_o all_o the_o son_n of_o abraham_n be_v not_o the_o heir_n of_o abraham_n for_o it_o be_v write_v in_o isaac_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v call_v wherefore_o we_o must_v not_o regard_v who_o make_v claim_n to_o the_o inheritance_n of_o abraham_n but_o who_o be_v right_o beget_v to_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o abraham_n for_o a_o bond_n man_n be_v capable_a of_o no_o inheritance_n and_o the_o child_n be_v account_v in_o the_o civil_a law_n of_o such_o condition_n as_o his_o mother_n be_v therefore_o ishmael_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o bond_n woman_n have_v no_o just_a title_n to_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o abraham_n though_o he_o pretend_v to_o be_v his_o elder_a son_n and_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o free_a woman_n though_o he_o be_v young_a by_o many_o year_n yet_o by_o the_o prerogative_n of_o his_o free_a birth_n become_v the_o heir_n of_o abraham_n his_o father_n wherefore_o if_o the_o papist_n and_o all_o they_o that_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o their_o work_n be_v prove_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o bond_n woman_n it_o will_v not_o help_v they_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n that_o they_o have_v of_o long_a time_n be_v account_v as_o principal_a member_n of_o the_o family_n of_o abraham_n for_o it_o will_v fall_v out_o in_o the_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v find_v no_o better_a than_o ismaelit_n and_o agaryne_n and_o have_v the_o same_o reward_n that_o agar_n and_o ishmael_n have_v we_o have_v hear_v now_o that_o abraham_n have_v two_o son_n of_o which_o the_o one_o only_o be_v his_o heir_n and_o now_o let_v we_o see_v why_o ishmael_n be_v the_o natural_a son_n of_o abraham_n &_o the_o first_o bear_v be_v not_o the_o heir_n either_o before_o isaac_n or_o at_o leastwise_o joint_o with_o he_o here_o indeed_o stand_v all_o the_o matter_n of_o controversy_n although_o there_o be_v two_o son_n why_o there_o be_v but_o one_o heir_n but_o it_o be_v soon_o answer_v because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n to_o come_v to_o the_o inheritance_n and_o that_o be_v only_o by_o promise_n
