beggarly_a and_o empty_a to_o such_o who_o trust_v in_o they_o &_o neglect_a christ_n nor_o do_v this_o assertion_n contradict_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n ephes_n 2._o 15._o where_o he_o call_v those_o ordinance_n enmity_n and_o decree_n against_o we_o for_o those_o ceremony_n may_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n first_o as_o they_o be_v sign_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o favour_n and_o second_o as_o they_o be_v demonstrative_a of_o a_o duty_n which_o we_o be_v tie_v unto_o but_o can_v not_o perform_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n all_o those_o purification_n and_o cleansing_n be_v against_o we_o thus_o we_o see_v these_o law_n in_o every_o consideration_n make_v void_a so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o now_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n to_o use_v they_o though_o we_o will_v not_o put_v our_o trust_n

and_o circumcision_n in_o that_o manner_n which_o the_o apostle_n permit_v they_o that_o judaisme_n have_v yet_o stand_v and_o that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v have_v receive_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o second_o place_n if_o we_o will_v speak_v exact_o and_o proper_o we_o can_v say_v in_o any_o good_a sense_n that_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v abrogate_a abrogate_a at_o all_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o our_o learned_a writer_n show_v that_o the_o law_n in_o abrogate_a in_o respect_n of_o justification_n condemnation_n and_o rigour_n of_o obedience_n all_o which_o i_o shall_v instance_n in_o afterward_o but_o if_o a_o man_n will_v speak_v rigid_o he_o can_v say_v it_o be_v abrogate_a we_o may_v say_v it_o be_v mitigate_v as_o to_o our_o person_n though_o christ_n our_o surety_n do_v full_o undergo_v its_o for_o if_o god_n have_v take_v away_o the_o law_n so_o that_o man_n nor_o his_o surety_n have_v be_v under_o the_o curse_n of_o it_o or_o shall_v have_v obey_v it_o than_o have_v it_o be_v proper_o abrogate_a whereas_o now_o see_v our_o surety_n be_v bind_v to_o satisfy_v it_o and_o perfect_o to_o obey_v it_o and_o we_o still_o oblige_v to_o conform_v unto_o it_o we_o can_v so_o proper_o in_o the_o general_n say_v it_o be_v abrogate_a therefore_o we_o may_v more_o proper_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o change_n and_o alteration_n in_o we_o towards_o the_o law_n then_o that_o the_o law_n be_v change_v or_o abrogate_a hence_o observe_v though_o the_o apostle_n deny_v that_o he_o do_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d make_v void_a the_o law_n yet_o he_o

speak_v proper_o yet_o because_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o obedience_n be_v by_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o we_o we_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v abrogate_a to_o we_o so_o that_o we_o may_v not_o

part_n of_o the_o law_n may_v be_v abolish_v and_o yet_o not_o the_o whole_a nature_n of_o it_o for_o there_o be_v in_o the_o law_n these_o part_n first_o the_o command_v law_n second_o the_o

have_v already_o prove_v against_o the_o antinomian_o that_o one_o part_n of_o the_o law_n may_v abide_v when_o the_o other_o do_v not_o rule_n the_o three_o proposition_n those_o that_o say_v the_o
