thereof_o to_o these_o time_n argue_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o doctrine_n viz._n that_o the_o only_a and_o special_a way_n for_o a_o saint_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o error_n and_o evil_n of_o

transplant_v from_o a_o more_o barren_a into_o a_o more_o fruitful_a soil_n from_o a_o old_a covenant_n into_o a_o new_a and_o better_a covenant_n which_o covenant_n because_o it_o be_v everlasting_a therefore_o the_o law_n be_v now_o therein_o be_v become_v permanent_a and_o everlasting_a also_o yea_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o law_n may_v be_v stable_n and_o continue_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a it_o shall_v be_v transplant_v hither_o the_o covenant_n in_o which_o it_o be_v before_o be_v as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o decay_a and_o waxen_a old_a yea_o ready_a to_o

3_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o very_a same_o work_n or_o duty_n for_o the_o substance_n or_o matter_n of_o it_o do_v by_o one_o may_v be_v a_o legal_a work_n do_v by_o another_o a_o

rule_n yet_o the_o action_n of_o the_o one_o be_v but_o a_o legal_a work_n the_o action_n of_o the_o other_o a_o evangelical_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o difference_n lie_v in_o what_o have_v be_v former_o say_v hagar_n propose_v her_o rule_n to_o those_o that_o be_v her_o seed_n as_o a_o bare_a rule_n tell_v they_o only_o what_o be_v their_o duty_n and_o press_v they_o to_o the_o do_v hereof_o by_o severe_a threat_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n in_o case_n they_o be_v find_v defective_a but_o in_o a_o tittle_n and_o allure_a promise_n of_o reward_n on_o the_o other_o in_o case_n they_o prove_v obedient_a in_o all_o thing_n to_o her_o command_n but_o give_v they_o no_o strength_n to_o walk_v up_o to_o that_o rule_n so_o as_o that_o they_o may_v either_o escape_v the_o evil_a of_o the_o threat_n or_o obtain_v the_o good_a of_o the_o promise_n hence_o hagar_n child_n in_o case_n they_o can_v perfect_o obey_v yet_o their_o obedience_n can_v be_v no_o more_o but_o a_o pure_a legal_a
