be_v in_o case_n of_o scandal_n and_o contempt_n so_o our_o divine_n that_o have_v be_v the_o most_o orthodox_n have_v go_v that_o the_o law_n of_o man_n in_o the_o state_n they_o bind_v not_o

be_v a_o very_a hard_a bondage_n a_o cruel_a yoke_n but_o thus_o if_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v require_v be_v right_a and_o just_a than_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n may_v bind_v conscience_n for_o then_o there_o come_v in_o a_o law_n of_o god_n if_o the_o thing_n be_v just_a and_o right_a that_o be_v require_v or_o however_o if_o i_o know_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_a but_o it_o may_v be_v just_a and_o right_a i_o must_v not_o break_v the_o law_n of_o man_n so_o as_o to_o give_v scandal_n or_o in_o a_o way_n of_o contempt_n but_o if_o it_o be_v private_o so_o as_o it_o be_v no_o

not_o every_o thing_n that_o man_n require_v but_o now_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v such_o as_o bind_v conscience_n as_o they_o come_v from_o he_o he_o be_v such_o a_o king_n that_o i_o

tender_v up_o their_o homage_n unto_o their_o earthly_a king_n by_o any_o way_n invent_v of_o their_o own_o therefore_o they_o have_v think_v that_o they_o may_v presume_v to_o tender_v up_o their_o homage_n to_o christ_n their_o spiritual_a king_n by_o any_o way_n of_o invent_a worship_n and_o therein_o be_v a_o great_a error_n they_o look_v upon_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n only_o in_o a_o carnal_a way_n whereas_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v such_o as_o all_o our_o homage_n that_o we_o tender_v up_o to_o he_o must_v be_v spiritual_a it_o must_v be_v heavenly_a it_o must_v be_v

that_o you_o do_v obey_v now_o this_o neither_o any_o hypocrite_n or_o mere_a moral_a man_n do_v if_o you_o take_v it_o universallie_o one_o commandment_n as_o well_o as_o another_o obj._n you_o

so_o there_o may_v appear_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o that_o be_v mere_o moral_a or_o do_v it_o out_o of_o conscience_n and_o the_o other_o that_o do_v it_o out_o of_o

of_o all_o the_o second_o be_v that_o our_o conversation_n must_v be_v such_o as_o be_v beyond_o such_o as_o live_v under_o the_o law_n for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n go_v high_a than_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n for_o there_o be_v more_o reveal_v there_o than_o in_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v true_a that_o that_o you_o call_v the_o moral_a law_n the_o light_n of_o nature_n if_o it_o be_v clear_v it_o be_v suitable_a to_o it_o to_o the_o most_o part_n of_o it_o only_o there_o be_v some_o part_n that_o be_v positive_a but_o most_o part_n be_v but_o suitable_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n if_o they_o be_v clear_a and_o pure_a but_o now_o because_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n the_o light_n of_o nature_n be_v darken_v and_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n be_v much_o corrupt_v therefore_o god_n have_v give_v his_o law_n that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o glass_n of_o his_o will_n that_o be_v the_o clear_a glass_n of_o what_o be_v write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n

almost_o all_o obliterated_a therefore_o god_n write_v it_o in_o table_n of_o stone_n whereas_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o table_n of_o man_n heart_n at_o first_o but_o now_o when_o he_o come_v to_o

fall_v do_v blot_v it_o out_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n than_o god_n write_v it_o over_o fair_a again_o but_o how_o he_o write_v it_o over_o in_o a_o fair_a copy_n but_o it_o be_v in_o table_n of_o

those_o that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n must_v live_v in_o a_o high_a way_n of_o holiness_n than_o those_o that_o live_v under_o the_o law_n now_o for_o this_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o

for_o eternal_a life_n to_o adam_n and_o so_o to_o man_n kind_n in_o he_o second_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o law_n as_o in_o the_o ministration_n of_o it_o by_o moses_n take_v it_o either_o of_o these_o two_o way_n those_o that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n and_o profess_v the_o gospel_n must_v live_v in_o a_o more_o holy_a conversation_n or_o aim_v or_o endeavour_v at_o least_o after_o a_o more_o holy_a conversation_n than_o that_o conversation_n can_v be_v that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n as_o now_o i_o say_v thus_o the_o law_n as_o the_o covenant_n of_o life_n to_o adam_n but_o what_o

of_o that_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n considerable_a in_o

in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n see_v in_o the_o 119._o psalm_n how_o you_o find_v david_n heart_n take_v and_o ravish_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n oh_o how_o sweet_a be_v the_o law_n of_o

so_o in_o the_o story_n of_o the_o act_n present_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o read_v of_o any_o that_o the_o gospel_n do_v prevail_v withal_o they_o have_v one_o heart_n and_o one_o mind_n oh_o how_o do_v they_o cleave_v one_o to_o another_o their_o heart_n be_v one_o and_o so_o we_o find_v in_o the_o story_n of_o the_o primitive_a time_n i_o remember_v tertullian_n say_v that_o that_o be_v the_o way_n that_o the_o heathen_n and_o persecutor_n do_v use_v to_o find_v out_o who_o be_v christian_n for_o the_o christian_n do_v meet_v at_o night_n for_o fear_n of_o danger_n &_o do_v as_o wise_o as_o they_o can_v to_o keep_v themselves_o from_o their_o persecutor_n but_o they_o find_v this_o by_o experience_n that_o when_o they_o be_v convert_v to_o christian_a religion_n than_o there_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o spirit_n in_o they_o that_o do_v act_v they_o and_o especial_o a_o spirit_n of_o love_n one_o to_o another_o there_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o love_n of_o christian_n one_o

christian_n if_o they_o see_v any_o people_n beginning_n to_o have_v a_o spirit_n of_o love_n more_o than_o before_o they_o will_v think_v sure_o these_o have_v hear_v of_o this_o christian_a

among_o they_o the_o apostle_n john_n will_v have_v such_o love_n as_o that_o christian_n shall_v be_v willing_a to_o die_v one_o for_o another_o and_o they_o do_v so_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n oh_o this_o be_v become_v the_o gospel_n indeed_o but_o oh_o how_o far_o how_o far_o be_v we_o from_o such_o a_o conversation_n in_o such_o time_n as_o we_o live_v in_o now_o as_o if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v go_v from_o we_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n as_o if_o it_o be_v reveal_v more_o now_o than_o ever_o and_o much_o concern_v free_a grace_n in_o the_o gospel_n but_o

of_o christian_n my_o brethren_n malicious_a disposition_n be_v extreme_o unbecoming_a the_o gospel_n hateful_a and_o malicious_a disposition_n what_o do_v a_o beastly_a brutish_a savigeness_n do_v the_o fierceness_n of_o beast_n do_v in_o the_o breast_n of_o a_o christian_a oh_o it_o be_v infinite_o unbeseeming_a a_o christian_n to_o have_v a_o unloving_a disposition_n a_o hateful_a

according_a to_o your_o master_n that_o you_o profess_v your_o life_n be_v unsuitable_a to_o your_o master_n even_o one_o that_o be_v but_o a_o heathen_a himself_o speak_v this_o oh_o if_o we_o

so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v we_o hear_v how_o the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n

of_o christ_n but_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v in_o he_o that_o his_o heart_n be_v sweeten_v with_o love_n and_o that_o he_o do_v live_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o very_a element_n of_o love_n and_o

first_o we_o shall_v show_v how_o the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o this_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o this_o world_n mark_v those_o scripture_n in_o john_n 18._o 36._o jesus_n
