love_n he_o need_v no_o law_n and_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o chrysostome_n have_v some_o such_o hyperbolical_a expression_n upon_o the_o word_n follow_v the_o law_n be_v not_o put_v for_o the_o

that_o which_o he_o command_v take_v a_o instance_n in_o adam_n while_o he_o stand_v he_o do_v obey_v out_o of_o love_n and_o yet_o because_o of_o the_o command_n also_o so_o the_o angel_n be_v minister_a spirit_n and_o do_v obey_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n otherwise_o the_o apostate_n angel_n can_v not_o have_v sin_v and_o yet_o they_o be_v under_o a_o law_n though_o do_v all_o thing_n in_o love_n we_o may_v illustrate_v it_o by_o moses_n his_o mother_n you_o know_v she_o be_v hire_v and_o command_v by_o pharaoh_n daughter_n to_o nurse_n moses_n which_o be_v she_o own_o child_n

strict_o so_o call_v and_o howsoever_o the_o arrian_n from_o the_o grant_n of_o this_o do_v infer_v christ_n absolute_a inferiority_n to_o the_o father_n yet_o our_o orthodox_n divine_n do_v

if_o you_o keep_v my_o commandment_n and_o abide_v in_o love_n etc._n etc._n and_o indeed_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o commandment_n it_o can_v not_o be_v call_v a_o obedience_n of_o christ_n for_o that_o do_v relate_v to_o a_o command_n now_o this_o i_o infer_v hence_o that_o to_o do_v a_o thing_n out_o of_o obedience_n to_o a_o command_n because_o a_o command_n do_v not_o infer_v want_n of_o

the_o eye_n unto_o that_o be_v suitable_a and_o agreeable_a unto_o the_o covenant_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v blame-worthy_a and_o last_o there_o be_v no_o godly_a man_n but_o he_o have_v in_o

other_o end_n than_o he_o do_v it_o and_o i_o think_v that_o if_o the_o antinomian_n do_v full_o inform_v himself_o in_o this_o thing_n there_o be_v a_o agreement_n for_o we_o all_o aught_o to_o be_v

justification_n but_o herein_o they_o do_v not_o distinguish_v or_o well_o argue_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n do_v not_o justify_v therefore_o they_o be_v needless_a or_o not_o requisite_a for_o say_v they_o if_o christ_n have_v full_o obey_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o be_v make_v we_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o what_o we_o be_v but_o what_o christ_n be_v this_o will_v be_v a_o good_a consequence_n if_o we_o be_v to_o obey_v the_o law_n for_o the_o same_o end_n christ_n do_v but_o that_o be_v far_o for_o we_o i_o have_v hear_v indeed_o some_o doubt_n whether_o the_o maintain_n of_o christ_n active_a obedience_n impute_v to_o we_o do_v not_o necessary_o imply_v antinomianism_n but_o of_o that_o more_o hereafter_o only_o let_v they_o lay_v a_o

have_v affliction_n for_o other_o end_n so_o do_v we_o the_o work_n of_o god_n law_n for_o other_o end_n than_o christ_n do_v they_o a_o five_o caution_n or_o limitation_n shall_v be_v this_o to_o distinguish_v between_o person_n a_o believer_n and_o his_o personal_a act_n for_o howsoever_o the_o law_n do_v not_o curse_n or_o condemn_v he_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o state_n yet_o those_o particular_a sin_n he_o commit_v it_o condemn_v they_o and_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o god_n wrath_n though_o this_o guilt_n do_v not_o redound_v upon_o the_o person_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o very_a wild_a comparison_n of_o crisp_a one_o that_o a_o man_n under_o grace_n have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v with_o the_o law_n than_o a_o englishman_n have_v with_o the_o law_n of_o spain_n or_o turkey_n for_o howsoever_o every_o believer_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n so_o that_o his_o person_n be_v justify_v yet_o be_v but_o in_o part_n regenerate_v so_o far_o as_o his_o sin_n be_v commit_v they_o be_v threaten_v and_o condemn_v in_o he_o as_o well_o as_o in_o another_o for_o there_o be_v a_o simple_a guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o guilt_n redundant_fw-la upon_o the_o person_n 6._o that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v decry_v because_o we_o have_v no_o it_o power_n to_o keep_v the_o law_n for_o so_o we_o have_v no_o power_n to_o obey_v the_o gospel_n it_o be_v a_o

malefactor_n if_o you_o will_v not_o be_v hang_v take_v all_o england_n and_o carry_v it_o upon_o your_o shoulder_n into_o the_o west_n indies_n what_o comfort_n be_v this_o now_o do_v not_o the_o gospel_n when_o it_o bid_v a_o man_n believe_v speak_v as_o impossible_a a_o thing_n to_o a_o man_n power_n it_o be_v true_a god_n do_v not_o give_v such_o a_o measure_n of_o grace_n as_o be_v able_a to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n but_o we_o have_v faith_n enough_o evangelical_o to_o justify_v we_o but_o that_o be_v extraneous_a to_o this_o matter_n in_o hand_n it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o the_o law_n take_v most_o strict_o and_o the_o gospel_n differ_v in_o other_o consideration_n then_o in_o this_o 7._o they_o do_v not_o distinguish_v between_o that_o which_o be_v primary_o and_o per_fw-la

exactness_n but_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o exclude_v a_o mediator_n the_o law_n say_v do_v this_o and_o live_v and_o it_o do_v not_o say_v none_o else_o shall_v do_v this_o for_o thou_o for_o if_o so_o than_o it_o have_v be_v injustice_n in_o god_n to_o have_v give_v we_o a_o christ_n i_o therefore_o much_o wonder_n at_o one_o who_o in_o his_o book_n speak_v thus_o the_o law_n do_v not_o only_o

3._o 23._o but_o how_o short_a this_o be_v appear_z 1._o because_o what_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o law_n here_o he_o call_v the_o scripture_n in_o general_n before_o 2._o he_o speak_v it_o

be_v a_o contradiction_n this_o be_v a_o rock_n that_o the_o adversary_n have_v daily_a refuge_n unto_o the_o law_n say_v the_o antinomian_a in_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o so_o far_o as_o i_o know_v be_v never_o deny_v to_o be_v the_o rule_n according_a to_o which_o a_o believer_n be_v to_o walk_v and_o live_v therefore_o i_o take_v the_o contrary_a imputation_n to_o be_v a_o impudent_a slander_n asser_n of_o grace_n pag._n 170._o but_o to_o reply_v if_o they_o hold_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v a_o rule_n how_o can_v they_o shelter_v themselves_o from_o their_o own_o argument_n for_o if_o the_o matter_n oblige_v then_o when_o a_o believer_n walk_v not_o according_a to_o his_o duty_n he_o sin_v and_o to_o sin_v the_o curse_n be_v due_a so_o that_o this_o evasion_n will_v no_o

of_o the_o law_n bind_v but_o yet_o not_o as_o a_o law_n be_v a_o mere_a contradiction_n for_o what_o be_v a_o law_n but_o such_o a_o object_n hold_v forth_o by_o the_o command_n and_o will_n of_o a_o

to_o the_o antinomian_a assertion_n it_o shall_v be_v true_a that_o love_n to_o god_n shall_v bind_v we_o because_o the_o matter_n itself_o be_v good_a but_o nob_n ecause_fw-mi god_n will_v we_o to_o

that_o such_o thing_n shall_v be_v obey_v or_o avoid_v and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o colour_n for_o that_o distinction_n between_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o law_n bind_v and_o not_o the_o law_n it_o will_v only_o hold_v in_o that_o matter_n which_o be_v perpetual_o and_o necessary_o good_a as_o to_o love_n god_n to_o honour_v parent_n but_o in_o that_o matter_n which_o be_v only_o good_a by_o some_o positive_a divine_a institution_n as_o keep_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n there_o we_o must_v say_v that_o the_o law_n bind_v as_o a_o law_n and_o not_o mere_o from_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o

make_v good_a for_o either_o they_o must_v deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o believer_n under_o the_o old-testament_n or_o if_o there_o be_v than_o they_o be_v free_v from_o the_o law_n as_o much_o as_o any_o now_o indeed_o if_o you_o take_v the_o law_n for_o the_o whole_a administration_n of_o the_o covenant_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v pedagogical_a and_o more_o servile_a so_o that_o a_o believer_n under_o the_o old-testament_n do_v not_o meet_v with_o such_o clear_a and_o evident_a dispensation_n of_o love_n as_o a_o believer_n under_o the_o gospel_n yet_o in_o respect_n of_o justification_n and_o salvation_n the_o law_n be_v the_o same_o to_o they_o as_o to_o we_o and_o to_o we_o as_o to_o they_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o

whatsoever_o be_v necessary_a and_o essential_a to_o justification_n or_o salvation_n they_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o they_o as_o well_o as_o we_o the_o ordinary_a resemblance_n of_o they_o and_o

in_o power_n or_o else_o equal_o abrogate_a unto_o all_o believer_n whether_o under_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n let_v they_o therefore_o consider_v whether_o the_o argument_n against_o believer_n subjection_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v not_o also_o equal_o as_o strong_a against_o those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o old_a therefore_o it_o be_v wild_a divinity_n of_o a_o

among_o other_o thing_n there_o be_v two_o notorious_a falsehood_n as_o first_o that_o god_n indeed_o see_v sin_n in_o the_o believer_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n but_o not_o in_o those_o of_o the_o new_a but_o how_o absurd_a and_o contradictory_n to_o the_o author_n himself_o be_v this_o assertion_n for_o be_v not_o that_o place_n which_o they_o so_o much_o urge_v god_n see_v not_o iniquity_n in_o jacob_n speak_v of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o beside_o if_o the_o godly_a be_v then_o in_o christ_n do_v it_o not_o necessary_o follow_v by_o his_o principle_n that_o

old_a or_o new_a testament_n but_o only_o to_o manifest_v their_o absurd_a contradiction_n the_o second_o difference_n he_o make_v be_v that_o god_n see_v sin_n in_o those_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v therefore_o punish_v they_o and_o afflict_v they_o for_o sin_n but_o he_o do_v not_o this_o under_o the_o gospel_n hereupon_o he_o show_v how_o moses_n for_o a_o word_n be_v strike_v

man_n under_o the_o gospel_n beside_o these_o assertion_n be_v contradiction_n to_o themselves_o for_o if_o their_o argument_n from_o god_n law_n and_o from_o christ_n prove_v the_o quite_o take_v

which_o unbelever_n they_o urge_v do_v not_o only_o overthrow_v the_o use_n of_o it_o to_o believer_n but_o also_o unbeliever_n this_o also_o be_v good_a to_o be_v attend_v unto_o for_o the_o

with_o a_o unbeliever_n but_o of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o state_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o that_o as_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v not_o circumcise_v or_o take_v up_o
