why_o christian_n must_v expect_v the_o severe_a punishment_n if_o they_o neglect_v this_o great_a salvation_n be_v because_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n which_o the_o gospel_n afford_v for_o the_o obtain_n of_o this_o salvation_n be_v now_o more_o plentiful_a than_o they_o be_v before_o st._n john_n tell_v we_o chap._n 1._o 17._o that_o the_o law_n be_v give_v by_o moses_n but_o grace_n and_o truth_n come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n of_o who_o fullness_n say_v he_o verse_n 16._o we_o all_o have_v receive_v and_o grace_n for_o grace_n or_o grace_n upon_o grace_n to_o denote_v the_o great_a plenty_n and_o abundance_n of_o it_o the_o law_n can_v do_v no_o more_o than_o show_v man_n his_o duty_n but_o the_o gospel_n afford_v he_o grace_n to_o perform_v it_o hence_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v style_v able_a minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n not_o of_o the_o letter_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o letter_n kill_v but_o the_o spirit_n give_v life_n 2_o cor._n 3._o 6._o the_o law_n be_v here_o call_v the_o letter_n and_o be_v say_v to_o kill_v because_o it_o show_v our_o duty_n and_o the_o danger_n of_o neglect_v it_o but_o give_v no_o grace_n to_o help_v we_o in_o the_o perform_n of_o it_o but_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o spirit_n because_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n do_v by_o his_o internal_a operation_n accompany_v the_o outward_a ministration_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o give_v we_o life_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o plentiful_a mean_n of_o grace_n the_o gospel_n afford_v we_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o do_v neglect_v these_o mean_n of_o grace_n our_o condemnation_n as_o it_o will_v be_v more_o just_a so_o it_o will_v be_v more_o heavy_a too_o this_o be_v plain_a from_o our_o saviour_n threaten_a chorazin_n and_o bethsaida_n mat._n 11._o 21_o 22._o wo_n unto_o thou_o chorazin_n woe_n unto_o thou_o bethsaida_n for_o if_o the_o mighty_a work_n which_o

tolerable_a for_o tyre_n and_o sidon_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n than_o for_o you_o thus_o christian_n as_o they_o enjoy_v more_o plentiful_a mean_n of_o grace_n than_o other_o so_o if_o all_o these_o be_v lose_v upon_o they_o they_o must_v expect_v the_o severe_a punishment_n three_o i_o come_v now_o in_o the_o three_o and_o last_o place_n to_o show_v you_o that_o minister_n may_v very_o
