man_n fall_v under_o the_o first_o covenant_n his_o restitution_n be_v never_o to_o be_v thereby_o but_o by_o the_o second_o through_o which_o god_n work_v up_o vessel_n into_o a_o state_n of_o life_n and_o glory_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o his_o grace_n 2._o but_o in_o this_o work_n up_o of_o the_o vessel_n he_o see_v necessary_a to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o other_o covenant_n according_a to_o the_o capacity_n that_o be_v leave_v in_o man_n to_o answer_v it_o and_o so_o as_o that_o capacity_n wear_v out_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n waste_v and_o pass_v away_o by_o degree_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n succeed_v and_o fill_v up_o the_o room_n thereof_o 3._o there_o be_v great_a danger_n of_o fall_v from_o the_o life_n for_o some_o as_o also_o of_o chastizement_n and_o judgement_n to_o other_o while_o this_o capacity_n remain_v even_o while_o the_o earthly_a nature_n spirit_n and_o principle_n be_v not_o wear_v out_o by_o the_o entrance_n death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o the_o principle_n of_o life_n in_o the_o heart_n 4._o when_o the_o first_o principle_n be_v whole_o dead_a and_o the_o heart_n perfect_o form_v in_o the_o life_n and_o all_o perfect_o raise_v and_o renew_v in_o the_o life_n then_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n of_o fall_v or_o fear_n of_o chastisement_n but_o perfect_a life_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n with_o god_n in_o his_o spirit_n of_o power_n and_o glory_n for_o ever_o more_o 5._o though_o god_n begin_v with_o man_n in_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o bring_v in_o a_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n to_o man_n suitable_a to_o his_o present_a state_n only_o in_o subserviency_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o will_v not_o have_v man_n stick_v there_o but_o cling_v to_o he_o in_o the_o grace_n and_o seek_v remission_n through_o the_o grace_n for_o his_o own_o name_n sake_n yet_o man_n through_o the_o prevalency_n of_o the_o first_o principle_n in_o he_o and_o his_o look_v on_o god_n through_o that_o be_v apt_a to_o fix_v on_o this_o covenant_n and_o draw_v comfort_n or_o discouragement_n to_o himself_o from_o his_o own_o obedience_n or_o fail_n and_o not_o live_v on_o the_o freeness_n of_o god_n love_n and_o the_o faithfulness_n of_o his_o heart_n to_o the_o soul_n to_o all_o condition_n for_o his_o christ_n sake_n this_o have_v be_v the_o great_a error_n of_o israel_n even_o of_o

hold_v on_o he_o by_o another_o covenant_n even_o their_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n he_o give_v forth_o not_o
