of_o the_o continuance_n of_o that_o use_n add_v till_o the_o seed_n come_v 1._o concern_v the_o use_n of_o the_o law_n the_o same_o phrase_n note_v it_o to_o be_v 1._o civil_a 2._o spiritual_a 1._o the_o civil_a use_n be_v for_o transgression_n to_o restrain_v sin_n yet_o by_o this_o we_o may_v press_v the_o apostolic_a argument_n that_o righteousness_n can_v be_v by_o the_o law_n for_o when_o the_o law_n restrain_v we_o from_o be_v sinful_a it_o do_v not_o therefore_o make_v we_o not_o sinful_a or_o true_o righteous_a but_o rather_o show_v we_o to_o be_v unrighteous_a and_o for_o that_o

mastiff_n muzzle_a and_o tie_v up_o not_o that_o they_o be_v gentle_a but_o the_o chain_n be_v a_o argument_n of_o their_o fierceness_n if_o man_n have_v not_o be_v sinful_a there_o have_v not_o
