it_o be_v that_o the_o prophet_n say_v in_o the_o .115_o psalm_n all_o man_n be_v liar_n wherefore_o by_o nature_n they_o can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o all_o man_n natural_o be_v bend_v and_o incline_v to_o evyll_n and_o therefore_o hate_v the_o law_n now_o whersoever_o there_o be_v not_o a_o cheerful_a and_o ready_a will_n to_o god_n and_o his_o law_n there_o be_v sin_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n though_o by_o such_o hypocrisy_n thou_o do_v the_o external_a work_n upon_o these_o paul_n infer_v in_o his_o second_o chapter_n that_o all_o the_o jew_n although_o in_o external_a work_n they_o make_v semblance_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n be_v sinner_n and_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n for_o say_v he_o not_o the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o doer_n thereof_o shall_v be_v account_v just_a before_o god_n whereby_o he_o do_v intimate_v unto_o we_o that_o no_o man_n can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n by_o do_v the_o outward_a work_n thou_o say_v jew_n paul_n speak_v to_o the_o jew_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o commit_v adultery_n and_o yet_o thou_o thyself_o commit_v adultery_n in_o this_o that_o thou_o iudge_v another_o thou_o condemne_v thy_o own_o self_n for_o thou_o that_o iudge_v do_v the_o very_a same_o thing_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thou_o in_o deed_n after_o a_o glorious_a kind_n of_o hypocrisy_n walk_v in_o the_o external_a work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o thou_o iudge_v other_o which_o walk_v not_o so_o in_o deed_n thou_o teach_v other_o man_n and_o thou_o see_v a_o mote_n in_o thy_o neighbour_n eye_n but_o thou_o see_v not_o the_o beam_n which_o be_v in_o thy_o own_o eye_n for_o though_o thou_o seem_v to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o thy_o external_a action_n either_o for_o fear_n of_o punishment_n or_o for_o love_n of_o thyself_o yet_o notwithstanding_o thou_o do_v all_o these_o thing_n with_o a_o unwilling_a mind_n with_o a_o hard_a stubborn_a hart_n without_o all_o love_n and_o good_a affection_n towards_o god_n and_o his_o law_n insomuch_o that_o thou_o have_v rather_o there_o werneyther_o law_n nor_o law_n gever_n at_o all_o that_o so_o thy_o lust_n and_o concupiscence_n may_v not_o be_v repress_v wherefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o though_o in_o outward_a work_n thou_o do_v counterfeit_v the_o law_n yet_o in_o very_a deed_n thou_o do_v hate_n and_o abhor_v it_o so_o the_o apostle_n speak_v what_o be_v thy_o righteousness_n worth_n say_v he_o if_o thou_o teach_v other_o man_n not_o to_o steal_v yet_o in_o thy_o hart_n thou_o be_v incline_v tosteal_v which_o affection_n out_o of_o all_o doubt_n will_v break_v out_o into_o the_o deed_n do_v but_o that_o thou_o be_v afraid_a of_o punishment_n to_o ensue_v for_o the_o external_a work_n for_o the_o most_o part_n will_v break_v out_o at_o length_n though_o it_o be_v for_o a_o time_n dissemble_v this_o oftentimes_o follow_v in_o such_o hypocrite_n wherefore_o as_o he_o say_v thou_o which_o teach_v another_o teach_v not_o thyself_o that_o be_v thou_o be_v ignorant_a thyself_o what_o thou_o teach_v because_o thou_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o law_n how_o that_o it_o be_v not_o satisfy_v but_o with_o the_o inward_a affection_n and_o motion_n of_o thy_o hart_n the_o law_n be_v do_v in_o the_o outward_a work_n only_o be_v so_o far_o from_o justify_v sin_v the_o law_n oncrease_v sin_v that_o it_o rather_o increase_v and_o augment_v our_o sin_n as_o paul_n say_v in_o the_o u_o chapter_n of_o this_o epistle_n wherefore_o the_o better_a thou_o understand_v the_o law_n the_o less_o thou_o love_v the_o law_n because_o it_o do_v exact_a &_o require_v of_o thou_o so_o many_o thing_n quite_o contrary_a to_o thy_o affection_n and_o altogether_o repugnant_a to_o thy_o nature_n hereupon_o it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o vii_o chap._n he_o say_v the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v if_o the_o law_n be_v carnal_a or_o moral_a doctrine_n only_o than_o it_o will_v be_v satisfy_v by_o the_o external_a work_n but_o see_v that_o now_o it_o be_v spiritual_a that_o be_v require_v the_o affect_n and_o spirit_n it_o follow_v that_o no_o man_n can_v fulfil_v it_o unless_o he_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o the_o law_n command_v with_o a_o cheerful_a hart_n with_o a_o certain_a ardent_a fervency_n of_o mind_n and_o with_o all_o his_o affection_n such_o a_o new_a hart_n and_o such_o a_o fervent_a and_o cheerful_a affection_n of_o the_o heart_n thou_o can_v not_o obtain_v of_o thy_o own_o strength_n or_o by_o thy_o own_o merit_n but_o only_o by_o the_o operation_n and_o secret_a instinct_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n only_o that_o gyve_n a_o new_a hart_n &_o that_o make_v a_o man_n spiritual_a that_o so_o he_o be_v make_v spiritual_a he_o may_v love_v the_o law_n which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o may_v fulfil_v it_o not_o for_o fear_n or_o love_n of_o commodity_n but_o with_o a_o cheerful_a and_o willing_a hart_n and_o that_o he_o may_v be_v carry_v violent_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o certain_a force_n to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o the_o law_n command_v free_o and_o of_o his_o own_o accord_n so_o be_v that_o say_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a that_o be_v the_o law_n be_v not_o fulfyl_v but_o by_o the_o spirit_n but_o by_o a_o hart_n renew_v by_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o where_o there_o be_v not_o that_o renovation_n of_o the_o hart_n by_o the_o spirit_n there_o remain_v that_o grievous_a hatred_n of_o the_o law_n which_o law_n nevertheless_o of_o itself_o be_v just_a holy_a and_o good_a so_o far_o be_v it_o from_o fulfil_v it_o wherefore_o accustom_v and_o acquaint_v thyself_o with_o this_o phrase_n and_o manner_n of_o speak_v which_o the_o apostle_n here_o use_v it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o law_n when_o without_o grace_n law_n grace_n work_n of_o the_o law_n without_o the_o spirit_n we_o begin_v to_o work_v well_o and_o when_o we_o labour_v to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n by_o our_o own_o proper_a strength_n and_o power_n of_o our_o free_a will_n but_o see_v that_o there_o always_o remain_v in_o the_o hart_n certain_a servile_a fear_n and_o a_o most_o deadly_a hatred_n of_o the_o law_n sure_o it_o be_v that_o such_o work_n be_v sin_n &_o heinous_a fact_n against_o the_o law_n and_o so_o do_v not_o please_v god_n so_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o iii_o chapter_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v in_o his_o sight_n here_o therefore_o we_o may_v know_v and_o acknowledge_v how_o the_o sophister_n and_o school_n doctor_n be_v far_o wide_o from_o the_o the_o truth_n who_o teach_v and_o affirm_v this_o wicked_a and_o blasphemous_a assertion_n that_o by_o our_o work_n we_o may_v prepare_v the_o way_n unto_o grace_n but_o how_o can_v i_o prepare_v for_o myself_o a_o way_n to_o grace_v by_o that_o work_n which_o i_o do_v with_o a_o stubborn_a froward_a and_o untoward_a heart_n and_o with_o a_o repugnant_a affection_n how_o can_v that_o work_n be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n which_o i_o do_v not_o willing_o but_o with_o great_a grief_n of_o heart_n yea_o with_o extreme_a hatred_n of_o the_o law_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n law_n law_n fulfylling_a of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o the_o law_n command_v with_o a_o cheerful_a and_o willing_a heart_n that_o be_v free_o and_o of_o thy_o own_o accord_n to_o live_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o work_v well_o though_o there_o be_v no_o law_n at_o all_o such_o a_o cheerfulness_n readiness_n willingness_n and_o ardent_a affection_n can_v come_v into_o our_o heart_n but_o by_o the_o quicken_a spirit_n and_o his_o lyvely_a impulsion_n and_o agitation_n in_o our_o hart_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o u_o chapter_n 16._o chap._n 1._o vers_fw-la 16._o now_o the_o spirit_n be_v give_v only_o by_o faith_n in_o

of_o god_n faith_n also_o and_o the_o spirit_n be_v of_o god_n they_o come_v not_o of_o ourselves_o wherefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o faith_n alone_o iustify_v and_o that_o faith_n alone_o fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o faith_n through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n obtain_v the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o spirit_n do_v make_v we_o new_a heart_n do_v exhilarate_v we_o do_v excyte_n and_o
inflame_v our_o hart_n that_o it_o may_v do_v those_o thing_n willing_o of_o love_n which_o the_o law_n command_v and_o so_o at_o the_o last_o good_a work_n in_o deed_n do_v proceed_v free_o from_o the_o faith_n which_o work_v so_o myghty_o and_o which_o be_v so_o lively_a in_o our_o heart_n this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o third_o chapter_n for_o whereas_o he_o have_v utter_o damn_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o may_v have_v seem_v to_o have_v disannul_v and_o abolish_v the_o law_n by_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n he_o prevent_v that_o objection_n in_o these_o word_n we_o do_v not_o say_v he_o destroy_v the_o law_n but_o rather_o establish_v it_o that_o be_v we_o teach_v how_o the_o law_n may_v true_o be_v fulfil_v by_o faith_n i_o by_o believe_v in_o christ_n jesu_n now_o it_o remain_v that_o we_o show_v how_o this_o word_n sin_n be_v take_v in_o the_o scripture_n be_v scripture_n sin_n what_o it_o be_v sin_n in_o the_o sripture_n signify_v not_o only_o

grandfather_n old_a adam_n which_o even_o violent_o carry_v we_o headlong_o to_o sin_n namely_o that_o wicked_a hart_n and_o all_o our_o reason_n with_o all_o yea_o even_o his_o best_a and_o chief_a his_o strength_n and_o power_n wherewith_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o else_o but_o sin_n so_o that_o then_o we_o be_v say_v to_o commit_v sin_n when_o by_o the_o efficacy_n of_o this_o original_a sin_n as_o with_o a_o certain_a violent_a force_n we_o be_v carry_v headlong_o to_o do_v evil_a there_o be_v no_o outward_a sin_n do_v but_o first_o by_o this_o natural_a force_n and_o impulsion_n a_o man_n be_v whole_o and_o with_o all_o his_o affection_n carry_v roundly_o away_o to_o sin_v the_o scripture_n and_o god_n himself_o when_o they_o speak_v of_o sin_n they_o have_v respect_n unto_o this_o wickedness_n of_o our_o heart_n unto_o this_o natural_a inclination_n that_o be_v this_o vice_n of_o incredulity_n as_o to_o the_o founteyne_v of_o all_o other_o sin_n like_a as_o therefore_o faith_n alone_o do_v justify_v and_o alone_o do_v obtain_v the_o spirit_n and_o power_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o to_o do_v those_o work_n in_o deed_n which_o be_v only_o good_a so_o only_a incredulity_n and_o unbelief_n cause_v sin_n and_o excit_v and_o kindle_v the_o flesh_n to_o sin_n and_o to_o commit_v evil_a work_n as_o we_o see_v it_o happen_v to_o adam_n and_o eve_n in_o

say_v he_o shall_v reprove_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n because_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v in_o i_o those_o work_v which_o be_v true_o good_a even_o as_o good_a fruit_n can_v proceed_v and_o spring_v but_o of_o a_o good_a tree_n that_o be_v of_o faith_n work_v in_o the_o hart_n as_o contrariwise_o evil_a fruit_n can_v not_o come_v but_o from_o a_o evil_a tree_n that_o be_v incredulity_n of_o the_o hart_n therefore_o this_o wickedness_n and_o incredulity_n in_o the_o heart_n be_v every_o where_o in_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o head_n of_o the_o serpent_n and_o of_o the_o old_a

concern_v these_o two_o word_n grace_n and_o gift_n they_o differ_v thus_o grace_n be_v the_o favour_n mercy_n and_o free_a good_a will_n and_o benevolence_n of_o god_n towards_o us._n gift_n be_v the_o holy_a spirit_n himself_o who_o be_v who_o gift_n what_o it_o be_v god_n do_v send_v into_o their_o heart_n who_o he_o have_v take_v mercy_n upon_o and_o who_o he_o favore_v as_o very_o well_o appear_v in_o the_o u_o chapter_n where_o he_o distinguish_v gift_n from_o grace_n although_o now_o we_o have_v not_o the_o fullness_n of_o this_o gift_n or_o of_o the_o spirit_n because_o in_o this_o life_n there_o will_v always_o remain_v in_o we_o remnaunite_v of_o sin_n which_o fight_n against_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o vii_o chapter_n and_o the_o iii_o to_o the_o

yet_o grace_n work_v this_o in_o we_o that_o the_o relic_n of_o sin_n shall_v not_o be_v impute_v unto_o we_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v repute_v and_o account_v before_o god_n as_o man_n full_o

therefore_o though_o remnaunt_n of_o sin_n do_v daily_a glister_n and_o shine_v in_o we_o yet_o never_o theles_o we_o be_v just_a before_o god_n and_o syil_n be_v not_o impute_v unto_o we_o through_o

first_o because_o we_o have_v through_o faith_n the_o first_o fruit_n and_o earnest_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o that_o for_o our_o faith_n in_o christ_n god_n fatherly_a favour_v we_o do_v not_o
