this_o be_v good_a &_o they_o can_v live_v without_o it_o but_o when_o a_o man_n grow_v into_o more_o strength_n of_o grace_n than_o he_o grow_v off_o from_o these_o thing_n that_o the_o youth_n of_o

of_o faith_n and_o after_o once_o i_o understand_v this_o doctrine_n of_o free-remission_n and_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o than_o i_o love_v repentance_n as_o for_o the_o mortification_n of_o sin_n you_o know_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v let_v not_o sin_n reign_v in_o your_o mortal_a body_n 14._o rom._n 6.12_o &_o 14._o or_o have_v dominion_n over_o you_o why_o for_o you_o be_v

that_o obedience_n also_o come_v from_o the_o sight_n of_o mercy_n and_o of_o free-remission_n now_o if_o free-remission_n and_o the_o sense_n thereof_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o holiness_n then_o sure_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o can_v be_v no_o enemy_n but_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o real_a friend_n unto_o all_o our_o spiritual_a life_n object_n but_o by_o way_n of_o objection_n it_o will_v be_v say_v in_o the_o three_o place_n this_o doctrine_n of_o free-remission_n and_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o seem_v to_o carry_v somewhat_o with_o it_o that_o be_v opposite_a unto_o

answ_n for_o answer_v you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o word_n law_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v take_v two_o way_n either_o it_o be_v take_v for_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n thus_o if_o you_o

of_o man_n life_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n a_o christian_n be_v dead_a unto_o the_o law_n and_o be_v free_v from_o it_o but_o in_o the_o second_o sense_n a_o believer_n a_o justify_v person_n be_v more_o bind_v to_o the_o law_n to_o observe_v it_o as_o a_o rule_n of_o life_n than_o ever_o he_o be_v only_o you_o must_v know_v there_o be_v a_o twofold_a bond_n there_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o

i_o may_v ask_v you_o the_o reason_n likewise_o but_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o the_o reason_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o man_n be_v contrary_a unto_o god_n and_o all_o that_o do_v make_v
