way_n but_o by_o the_o other_o and_o of_o what_o kind_n this_o connection_n be_v i_o be_o now_o to_o show_v and_o in_o short_a it_o be_v easy_a forus_fw-la to_o apprehend_v that_o this_o connection_n be_v not_o natural_a and_o necessary_a but_o ordinate_a not_o such_o as_o do_v necessary_o result_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o that_o be_v here_o connect_v but_o such_o as_o have_v its_o foundation_n in_o the_o gracious_a ordination_n and_o appointment_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v sufficient_o evident_a to_o any_o one_o that_o do_v attentive_o and_o serious_o consider_v it_o that_o there_o be_v no_o just_a and_o adequate_a proportion_n between_o the_o most_o diligent_a and_o industrious_a christian_n present_a service_n and_o his_o future_a eternal_a reward_n and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o less_o obvious_a for_o we_o to_o conceive_v that_o the_o connection_n that_o be_v between_o they_o be_v not_o found_v in_o merit_n but_o in_o free_a grace_n for_o when_o we_o

for_o any_o one_o to_o think_v to_o merit_v any_o thing_n by_o the_o payment_n of_o a_o just_a debt_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o eternal_a life_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o

eternal_a death_n which_o be_v the_o just_a punishment_n of_o sin_n be_v call_v wage_n as_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o it_o do_v most_o just_o deserve_v rom._n 6._o 23._o for_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n and_o so_o the_o reward_n of_o the_o eternal_a inheritance_n be_v several_a time_n in_o scripture_n under_o the_o title_n of_o mercy_n as_o the_o apostle_n pray_v for_o onesiphorus_n 2_o tim._n 1._o 18._o the_o lord_n grant_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o may_v find_v mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n at_o that_o day_n and_o so_o we_o be_v exhort_v to_o keep_v ourselves_o in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n look_v for_o the_o mercy_n of_o our_o 21._o judas_n v._n 21._o lord_n jesus_n christ_n unto_o

in_o merit_n but_o in_o the_o free_a grace_n and_o undeserved_a love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n to_o which_o alone_o that_o gracious_a promise_n or_o covenant_n be_v entire_o owe_v whereby_o he_o
