bitterness_n that_o original_a corruption_n and_o this_o make_v i_o cry_v out_o oh_o wretched_a man_n oh_o wretched_a woman_n who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o body_n of_o death_n and_o oh_o that_o i_o can_v find_v this_o mortify_a in_o i_o this_o be_v that_o that_o be_v the_o strength_n and_o endeavour_n of_o my_o soul_n to_o get_v this_o body_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v mortify_v i_o this_o be_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n so_o to_o live_v in_o your_o conversation_n as_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o you_o be_v not_o content_v mere_o to_o keep_v from_o actual_a sin_n though_o in_o secret_a but_o it_o be_v your_o great_a care_n and_o endeavour_v to_o mortify_v this_o very_a body_n of_o death_n that_o be_v within_o you_o and_o by_o this_o a_o great_a many_o of_o your_o civil_a man_n and_o mere_a moral_a man_n will_v or_o at_o least_o may_v be_v convince_v that_o their_o conversation_n come_v short_a of_o that_o that_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o they_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o this_o last_o if_o you_o will_v have_v your_o conversation_n such_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n you_o must_v not_o only_o think_v to_o make_v conscience_n of_o secret_a sin_n but_o that_o which_o you_o do_v you_o must_v manifest_v that_o it_o do_v proceed_v out_o of_o love_n not_o only_o that_o you_o do_v obey_v but_o that_o you_o love_v the_o commandment_n that_o you_o do_v obey_v now_o this_o neither_o any_o hypocrite_n or_o mere_a moral_a man_n do_v if_o you_o take_v it_o universallie_o one_o commandment_n as_o well_o as_o another_o obj._n you_o will_v say_v love_n be_v a_o secret_a thing_n ans_fw-fr but_o as_o you_o may_v know_v in_o your_o family_n the_o difference_n between_o your_o child_n obedience_n to_o you_o and_o your_o servant_n so_o there_o may_v appear_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o that_o be_v mere_o moral_a or_o do_v it_o out_o of_o conscience_n and_o the_o other_o that_o do_v it_o out_o of_o love_n therefore_o you_o must_v know_v that_o you_o do_v not_o rise_v beyond_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n except_o that_o you_o do_v love_v the_o command_n as_o well_o as_o obey_v the_o command_n and_o so_o carry_v thing_n in_o your_o conversation_n as_o you_o may_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o all_o those_o way_n of_o god_n that_o you_o make_v conscience_n of_o that_o you_o likewise_o have_v a_o love_n unto_o they_o and_o do_v they_o out_o of_o a_o principle_n of_o love_n and_o thus_o you_o come_v beyond_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o in_o some_o measure_n it_o be_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n how_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o our_o conversation_n as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n but_o now_o this_o be_v the_o low_a of_o all_o the_o second_o be_v that_o our_o conversation_n must_v be_v such_o as_o be_v beyond_o such_o as_o live_v under_o the_o law_n for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n go_v high_a than_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n for_o there_o be_v more_o reveal_v there_o than_o in_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v true_a that_o that_o you_o call_v the_o moral_a law_n the_o light_n of_o nature_n if_o it_o be_v clear_v it_o be_v suitable_a to_o it_o to_o the_o most_o part_n of_o it_o only_o there_o be_v some_o part_n that_o be_v positive_a but_o most_o part_n be_v but_o suitable_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n if_o they_o be_v clear_a and_o pure_a but_o now_o because_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n the_o light_n of_o nature_n be_v darken_v and_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n be_v much_o corrupt_v therefore_o god_n have_v give_v his_o law_n that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o glass_n of_o his_o will_n that_o be_v the_o clear_a glass_n of_o what_o be_v write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n in_o innocence_n that_o be_v the_o law_n only_o there_o be_v that_o of_o the_o limitation_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n particular_o from_o the_o creation_n that_o have_v somewhat_o positive_a in_o it_o but_o take_v all_o the_o other_o and_o i_o say_v it_o be_v nothing_o but_o as_o a_o glass_n of_o what_o be_v write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n in_o the_o time_n of_o innocency_n there_o be_v write_v in_o man_n heart_n to_o keep_v some_o solemn_a time_n for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n only_o the_o specification_n be_v by_o revelation_n but_o the_o substance_n of_o all_o those_o ten_o commandment_n i_o say_v be_v the_o glass_n of_o what_o be_v write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n in_o innocency_n and_o because_o god_n see_v that_o this_o writing_n be_v so_o much_o blot_v out_o almost_o all_o obliterated_a therefore_o god_n write_v it_o in_o table_n of_o stone_n whereas_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o table_n of_o man_n heart_n at_o first_o but_o now_o when_o he_o come_v to_o bring_v man_n to_o the_o gospel_n there_o he_o write_v over_o that_o law_n again_o in_o the_o table_n of_o their_o heart_n at_o first_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o adam_n but_o he_o fall_v do_v blot_v it_o out_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n than_o god_n write_v it_o over_o fair_a again_o but_o how_o he_o write_v it_o over_o in_o a_o fair_a copy_n but_o it_o be_v in_o table_n of_o stone_n but_o when_o god_n receive_v any_o soul_n in_o the_o gospel_n he_o write_v it_o over_o again_o in_o the_o table_n of_o their_o heart_n now_o this_o give_v you_o a_o little_a hint_n of_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n between_o the_o conversation_n of_o man_n that_o be_v mere_o legal_a and_o the_o conversation_n that_o be_v evangelical_n but_o the_o open_n of_o it_o to_o show_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n in_o reference_n to_o this_o and_o to_o show_v how_o low_o the_o conversation_n be_v that_o be_v mere_o legal_a and_o how_o high_a raise_v the_o conversation_n of_o a_o christian_a ought_v to_o be_v if_o he_o will_v make_v it_o evangelical_n such_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n will_v ask_v more_o

have_v show_v you_o already_o what_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o now_o we_o be_v upon_o the_o point_n of_o conversation_n that_o it_o must_v be_v high_a than_o can_v be_v by_o the_o law_n those_o that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n must_v live_v in_o a_o high_a way_n of_o holiness_n than_o those_o that_o live_v under_o the_o law_n now_o for_o this_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o the_o law_n under_o these_o two_o consideration_n first_o as_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n for_o life_n so_o it_o be_v make_v at_o first_o to_o adam_n it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n for_o eternal_a life_n to_o adam_n and_o so_o to_o man_n kind_n in_o he_o second_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o law_n as_o in_o the_o ministration_n of_o it_o by_o moses_n take_v it_o either_o of_o these_o two_o way_n those_o that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n and_o profess_v the_o gospel_n must_v live_v in_o a_o more_o holy_a conversation_n or_o aim_v or_o endeavour_v at_o least_o after_o a_o more_o holy_a conversation_n than_o that_o conversation_n can_v be_v that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n as_o now_o i_o say_v thus_o the_o law_n as_o the_o covenant_n of_o life_n to_o adam_n but_o what_o be_v his_o conversation_n first_o it_o be_v obedience_n to_o god_n mere_o as_o creator_n no_o further_o adam_n in_o innocency_n he_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o creator_n of_o all_o thing_n as_o the_o first_o be_v of_o all_o and_o so_o adam_n tender_v up_o his_o service_n to_o god_n mere_o as_o the_o creator_n and_o first-being_a that_o be_v his_o obedience_n second_o the_o law_n to_o adam_n have_v promise_v only_o of_o natural_a thing_n of_o a_o natural_a life_n to_o be_v continue_v we_o do_v not_o read_v of_o god_n promise_v adam_n to_o live_v in_o heaven_n if_o he_o have_v obey_v but_o do_v this_o and_o live_v that_o be_v the_o tenor_n of_o the_o covenant_n with_o he_o that_o be_v he_o shall_v have_v continue_v in_o paradise_n and_o so_o have_v live_v a_o natural_a life_n but_o yet_o continue_v eternal_o god_n will_v have_v uphold_v that_o natural_a life_n of_o he_o that_o be_v all_o we_o read_v of_o that_o ever_o god_n promise_v to_o adam_n if_o he_o have_v stand_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n considerable_a in_o
his_o subject_n every_o subject_n of_o christ_n have_v his_o will_n and_o heart_n subdue_v to_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o this_o world_n man_n may_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o king_n of_o this_o world_n mere_o by_o constraint_n because_o they_o dare_v not_o do_v otherwise_o many_o king_n in_o this_o world_n have_v subject_n who_o heart_n be_v not_o with_o they_o who_o love_v they_o not_o the_o king_n of_o this_o world_n they_o rule_v only_o the_o outward_a man_n but_o christ_n kingdom_n be_v another_o kind_n of_o kingdom_n he_o rule_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n there_o

subject_n to_o themselves_o christ_n he_o subdue_v too_o in_o a_o way_n of_o conquest_n but_o he_o do_v not_o subdue_v the_o outward_a man_n so_o much_o as_o the_o inward_a man_n the_o will_n be_v subdue_v to_o christ_n he_o sway_v his_o sceptre_n in_o their_o heart_n this_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n the_o sway_v of_o the_o sceptre_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v within_o we_o it_o be_v a_o inward_a kingdom_n that_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n wherein_o the_o difference_n between_o christ_n kingdom_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n consist_v four_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n be_v spiritual_a observe_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o government_n of_o his_o church_n and_o the_o law_n that_o be_v for_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n it_o will_v be_v of_o very_o great_a use_n for_o you_o to_o know_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o providential_a kingdom_n appoint_v magistrate_n to_o govern_v here_o in_o the_o world_n in_o his_o room_n he_o leave_v they_o to_o make_v law_n according_a to_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o prudence_n and_o justice_n such_o law_n be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o govern_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n and_o for_o the_o attain_n to_o a_o civil_a end_n for_o which_o their_o government_n be_v appoint_v but_o now_o jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o mediatory_a kingdom_n in_o his_o church_n he_o make_v all_o the_o law_n himself_o he_o do_v not_o leave_v it_o unto_o the_o church_n to_o make_v new_a law_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o own_o prudence_n what_o they_o conceive_v to_o be_v fit_a in_o way_n of_o prudence_n no_o but_o they_o must_v fetch_v the_o law_n out_o of_o his_o word_n and_o impose_v none_o but_o the_o same_o law_n that_o be_v in_o his_o word_n they_o must_v have_v a_o scriptum_n est_fw-la it_o be_v write_v here_o be_v these_o and_o these_o text_n of_o scripture_n for_o what_o be_v enjoin_v nothing_o must_v be_v add_v unto_o what_o he_o have_v in_o his_o word_n reveal_v only_o there_o be_v divine_a law_n for_o the_o government_n of_o his_o church_n now_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o church_n because_o they_o be_v a_o society_n of_o man_n they_o have_v some_o thing_n natural_a and_o some_o thing_n civil_a among_o they_o so_o far_o as_o they_o have_v need_n of_o natural_a and_o civil_a help_n so_o far_o there_o may_v be_v law_n make_v according_a to_o rule_n of_o prudence_n and_o justice_n and_o magistrate_n may_v come_v in_o to_o be_v helpful_a to_o the_o church_n so_o far_o as_o they_o have_v need_v here_o of_o natural_a and_o civil_a help_n as_o a_o society_n of_o man_n but_o now_o to_o speak_v proper_o to_o that_o which_o belong_v to_o they_o mere_o as_o they_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n beside_o that_o that_o they_o have_v need_n of_o as_o they_o be_v man_n and_o natural_a and_o civil_a society_n i_o say_v what_o belong_v to_o they_o mere_o consider_v as_o a_o church_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v to_o be_v govern_v only_o by_o the_o law_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o only_a lawgiver_n only_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o word_n and_o there_o be_v not_o that_o liberty_n of_o make_v new_a law_n in_o the_o church_n as_o there_o be_v of_o make_v new_a law_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o state_n and_o that_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n that_o be_v a_o four_o the_o law_n be_v different_a the_o law_n be_v different_a not_o only_o that_o they_o be_v by_o divine_a revelation_n in_o the_o one_o and_o leave_v to_o humane_a prudence_n in_o the_o other_o but_o 2_o lie_v in_o the_o one_o the_o law_n bind_v conscience_n in_o the_o other_o they_o do_v not_o they_o do_v not_o bind_v conscience_n any_o further_a than_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v require_v bind_v except_o it_o be_v in_o case_n of_o scandal_n and_o contempt_n so_o our_o divine_n that_o have_v be_v the_o most_o orthodox_n have_v go_v that_o the_o law_n of_o man_n in_o the_o state_n they_o bind_v not_o conscience_n that_o be_v if_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v require_v he_o shall_v in_o conscience_n be_v bind_v over_o to_o eternal_a death_n for_o not_o do_v it_o this_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a bondage_n a_o cruel_a yoke_n but_o thus_o if_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v require_v be_v right_a and_o just_a than_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n may_v bind_v conscience_n for_o then_o there_o come_v in_o a_o law_n of_o god_n if_o the_o thing_n be_v just_a and_o right_a that_o be_v require_v or_o however_o if_o i_o know_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_a but_o it_o may_v be_v just_a and_o right_a i_o must_v not_o break_v the_o law_n of_o man_n so_o as_o to_o give_v scandal_n or_o in_o a_o way_n of_o contempt_n but_o if_o it_o be_v private_o so_o as_o it_o be_v no_o scandal_n nor_o no_o contempt_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n bind_v i_o not_o than_o my_o conscience_n be_v not_o bind_v over_o as_o guilty_a of_o eternal_a death_n if_o so_o be_v i_o do_v not_o every_o thing_n that_o man_n require_v but_o now_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v such_o as_o bind_v conscience_n as_o they_o come_v from_o he_o he_o be_v such_o a_o king_n that_o i_o

the_o thing_n but_o mere_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o tie_v conscience_n and_o to_o bind_v we_o even_o upon_o pain_n of_o eternal_a death_n to_o obedience_n five_o christ_n
