that_o his_o son_n have_v satisfy_v the_o law_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v free_v now_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v it_o three_o way_n first_o you_o shall_v have_v it_o mat._n 17._o compare_v with_o

mount_n this_o be_v my_o beloved_a son_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v this_o be_v one_o main_a piece_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o hear_v a_o voice_n when_o we_o be_v with_o our_o master_n in_o the_o mount_n say_v this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o my_o soul_n be_v well_o please_v that_o for_o his_o person_n then_o a_o second_o thing_n that_o do_v show_v that_o he_o be_v prison_n 2._o christ_n be_v out_o of_o prison_n satisfy_v be_v by_o suffering_n jesus_n christ_n after_o he_o be_v arrest_v and_o in_o prison_n for_o our_o debt_n for_o christ_n be_v in_o prison_n for_o our_o debt_n he_o be_v arrest_v and_o that_o according_a to_o law_n he_o be_v bring_v into_o prison_n and_o all_o our_o suit_n be_v clap_v on_o his_o back_n all_o our_o execution_n and_o outlary_n be_v lay_v on_o his_o shoulder_n and_o then_o the_o father_n let_v he_o out_o of_o prison_n be_v our_o surety_n if_o he_o have_v not_o pay_v our_o debt_n he_o have_v not_o come_v out_o of_o prison_n but_o now_o the_o father_n let_v he_o out_o that_o be_v the_o father_n suffer_v he_o to_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a therefore_o we_o find_v that_o our_o justification_n be_v lay_v more_o upon_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n then_o upon_o his_o death_n as_o we_o see_v in_o rom._n 4._o 25._o who_o be_v deliver_v for_o our_o offence_n and_o raise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n that_o be_v he_o do_v die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o be_v raise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n and_o in_o rom._n 8._o he_o that_o spare_v not_o his_o own_o son_n but_o deliver_v he_o up_o for_o we_o all_o how_o shall_v he_o not_o with_o he_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n who_o be_v he_o that_o condemn_v it_o be_v christ_n that_o die_v yea_o rather_o that_o be_v rise_v again_o who_o be_v even_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n who_o also_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o that_o be_v his_o die_a for_o we_o do_v satisfy_v the_o law_n but_o that_o do_v not_o justify_v we_o until_o we_o see_v that_o he_o be_v rise_v again_o and_o then_o we_o see_v that_o all_o the_o debt_n be_v pay_v because_o our_o surety_n be_v get_v out_o of_o prison_n therefore_o justification_n i_o mean_v the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o at_o least_o principal_o arise_v from_o christ_n resurrection_n now_o when_o i_o see_v christ_n be_v rise_v and_o be_v go_v abroad_o he_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n and_o go_v to_o heaven_n i_o know_v that_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v and_o the_o father_n be_v satisfy_v and_o the_o sergeant_n the_o devil_n have_v nothing_o to_o arrest_v i_o for_o all_o be_v satisfy_v all_o be_v clear_a three_o and_o last_o i_o know_v god_n the_o father_n be_v satisfy_v heaven_n 3_o christ_n be_v go_v into_o heaven_n for_o the_o law_n it_o be_v god_n the_o father_n writ_n that_o he_o have_v against_o we_o and_o now_o we_o see_v that_o all_o be_v pay_v not_o only_o because_o our_o surety_n be_v get_v out_o of_o prison_n for_o so_o a_o man_n may_v do_v that_o have_v not_o pay_v a_o debt_n but_o because_o when_o he_o be_v out_o of_o prison_n he_o ascend_v to_o his_o father_n and_o the_o father_n make_v he_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n in_o the_o glory_n of_o majesty_n on_o high_a and_o he_o have_v give_v he_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o rule_v the_o world_n till_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n now_o in_o that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v the_o son_n that_o honour_n and_o respect_n in_o heaven_n as_o to_o come_v and_o sit_v at_o his_o right_a hand_n we_o may_v see_v it_o be_v not_o a_o break_n of_o prison_n but_o a_o real_a pay_v of_o the_o debt_n and_o a_o fulfil_n the_o law_n before_o he_o can_v come_v there_o this_o may_v give_v a_o little_a light_n how_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o through_o jesus_n christ_n now_o the_o use_n of_o it_o i_o name_v in_o the_o morning_n i_o justification_n use_v 1_o to_o learn_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o justification_n be_v not_o able_a to_o express_v it_o neither_o can_v i_o now_o full_o utter_v it_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v the_o more_o of_o it_o the_o first_o use_n we_o may_v make_v of_o it_o be_v this_o that_o you_o shall_v learn_v from_o what_o i_o have_v say_v where_o your_o justification_n do_v lie_v your_o justification_n do_v not_o lie_v or_o be_v not_o build_v upon_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o you_o or_o that_o be_v do_v by_o you_o or_o that_o you_o may_v hope_v to_o do_v hereafter_o you_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o your_o own_o personal_a good_a or_o unjustified_a by_o your_o own_o personal_a evil_n you_o be_v not_o one_o jote_n the_o more_o just_a when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o the_o good_a you_o can_v in_o the_o world_n and_o you_o be_v not_o one_o jote_n the_o less_o just_a when_o you_o have_v commit_v all_o the_o weakness_n and_o fall_v into_o all_o the_o frailty_n that_o a_o saint_n can_v fall_v into_o because_o your_o justification_n be_v build_v only_o upon_o christ_n and_o upon_o what_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v my_o justification_n be_v build_v upon_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o resurrection_n he_o have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o he_o have_v pay_v the_o debt_n and_o he_o be_v out_o of_o prison_n and_o the_o father_n be_v satisfy_v here_o be_v my_o justification_n and_o i_o believe_v this_o i_o be_o happy_a now_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o you_o lay_v a_o great_a part_n of_o themselves_o man_n build_v justification_n upon_o something_o in_o themselves_o your_o justification_n upon_o something_o in_o your_o self_n therefore_o when_o you_o be_v enlarge_v in_o good_a you_o think_v you_o be_v more_o justify_v and_o when_o you_o fall_v into_o sin_n you_o think_v you_o be_v more_o unjust_a than_o you_o be_v before_o and_o you_o look_v strange_o upon_o god_n now_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v it_o out_o of_o our_o hand_n adam_n shall_v have_v be_v justify_v by_o that_o that_o be_v in_o he_o and_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v do_v by_o he_o but_o bless_v be_v god_n he_o will_v not_o trust_v we_o with_o that_o good_a any_o more_o but_o have_v put_v all_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o there_o be_v the_o whole_a foundation_n of_o our_o justification_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o a_o christian_n to_o come_v and_o say_v o_o sir_n i_o fear_v i_o be_o no_o child_n of_o god_n i_o fear_v i_o shall_v prove_v a_o hypocrite_n why_o so_o because_o i_o find_v so_o much_o sin_n and_o so_o many_o lust_n in_o i_o it_o be_v very_o well_o that_o you_o find_v and_o feel_v sin_n and_o that_o you_o mourn_v for_o and_o strive_v against_o sin_n but_o that_o therefore_o you_o shall_v think_v there_o be_v a_o flaw_n in_o your_o justification_n that_o you_o shall_v make_v any_o good_a that_o be_v in_o you_o a_o prop_n to_o support_v your_o justification_n or_o any_o evil_n in_o you_o a_o thing_n that_o may_v crack_v your_o justification_n this_o be_v popery_n my_o justification_n depend_v not_o on_o this_o that_o i_o be_o justify_v the_o more_o when_o i_o be_o strong_a or_o less_o justify_v when_o i_o be_o weak_a but_o whether_o i_o be_v weak_a or_o strong_a whether_o i_o do_v much_o or_o little_a for_o god_n whether_o i_o give_v thanks_o or_o be_v humble_v see_v christ_n be_v dead_a and_o rise_v again_o i_o be_o justify_v that_o be_v still_o entire_a because_o it_o be_v not_o build_v upon_o i_o but_o whole_o upon_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o 4_o of_o the_o roman_n abraham_n be_v lay_v down_o justify_v abraham_n how_o justify_v as_o a_o pattern_n of_o believe_v abraham_n have_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n so_o shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v and_o without_o hope_n or_o reason_n or_o any_o thing_n he_o believe_v that_o be_v he_o cast_v himself_o on_o that_o word_n so_o it_o be_v say_v he_o be_v

7._o you●_n know_v how_o by_o the_o comparison_n of_o a_o man_n and_o his_o wife_n we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o as_o though_o the_o substance_n and_o matter_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o eternal_a and_o a_o rule_n for_o all_o saint_n doubtless_o it_o be_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o old_a but_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v a_o contract_n a_o bond_n a_o bargain_n as_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n between_o god_n and_o we_o it_o be_v perfect_o fullfil_v by_o christ_n and_o we_o be_v dead_a to_o it_o we_o be_v free_a from_o it_o or_o deliver_v from_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o in_o heb._n 12._o it_o be_v say_v in_o mount_n zion_n we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a that_o be_v not_o of_o just_a man_n personal_o just_a in_o their_o deal_n though_o that_o follow_v in_o a_o sort_n but_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o every_o saint_n that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n be_v perfect_o a_o just_a man_n or_o a_o just_a woman_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o morrtage_n with_o jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v obtain_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n or_o justice_n for_o they_o so_o in_o rom._n 3._o you_o have_v there_o also_o a_o bless_a place_n where_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o be_v save_v not_o only_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o by_o his_o righteousness_n therefore_o it_o be_v three_o time_n repeat_v we_o be_v save_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n and_o again_o by_o the_o righteousness_n and_o again_o in_o

and_o a_o justifier_n of_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v just_a and_o righteous_a with_o god_n to_o save_v people_n that_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n why_o so_o because_o jesus_n christ_n have_v fulfil_v to_o a_o tittle_n all_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o they_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o but_o one_o word_n of_o use_n and_o leave_v build_v use_v 1._o upon_o what_o our_o justification_n be_v build_v the_o reason_n and_o the_o further_o enlarge_n of_o it_o till_o the_o afternoon_n and_o the_o word_n that_o i_o desire_v to_o make_v know_v to_o you_o from_o the_o lord_n be_v this_o to_o instruct_v and_o help_v you_o a_o little_a to_o understand_v where_o your_o righteousness_n do_v lie_v or_o upon_o what_o your_o justification_n be_v build_v for_o this_o be_v the_o misery_n the_o general_a misery_n of_o most_o christian_n that_o they_o mislay_v their_o justification_n they_o do_v lay_v it_o partly_o upon_o faith_n and_o partly_o upon_o their_o sanctification_n and_o holiness_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o when_o a_o poor_a soul_n it_o may_v be_v be_v tempt_v to_o some_o sin_n and_o have_v some_o strong_a lust_n he_o lose_v his_o faith_n and_o his_o assurance_n and_o his_o peace_n of_o conscience_n because_o he_o ground_n his_o saint-ship_n and_o his_o justification_n upon_o his_o holiness_n now_o belove_v this_o be_v it_o that_o i_o will_v desire_v the_o lord_n to_o bring_v you_o and_o i_o to_o to_o know_v that_o i_o be_o a_o just_a man_n only_o by_o the_o righteousness_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o the_o law_n be_v perfect_o fulfil_v for_o i_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o partly_o by_o he_o and_o partly_o by_o i_o but_o only_o and_o perfect_o by_o he_o and_o i_o be_o call_v just_a but_o only_o as_o or_o because_o i_o be_o unyte_v to_o he_o that_o have_v get_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n for_o i_o then_o let_v i_o buyld_v my_o justification_n upon_o that_o only_a and_o not_o upon_o what_o i_o

have_v our_o justification_n do_v we_o be_v not_o more_o or_o less_o justify_v by_o the_o good_a or_o evil_a we_o do_v in_o a_o stock_n clear_o in_o jesus_n christ_n hand_n that_o when_o we_o do_v good_a we_o may_v not_o imagine_v that_o we_o be_v a_o jot_n the_o more_o justify_v or_o when_o we_o fall_v or_o fail_v in_o good_a we_o may_v not_o conceive_v that_o we_o be_v a_o jot_n more_o justify_v then_o before_o that_o though_o one_o day_n we_o have_v our_o heart_n enlarge_v to_o do_v good_a and_o to_o do_v more_o good_a in_o one_o day_n than_o it_o may_v be_v we_o do_v in_o a_o month_n before_o yet_o this_o go_v not_o to_o the_o stock_n of_o my_o justification_n i_o be_o not_o one_o jot_n the_o more_o justify_v and_o sometime_o god_n leave_v the_o flesh_n and_o the_o remnant_n of_o sin_n that_o foil_n we_o i_o will_v mourn_v for_o it_o and_o be_v humble_v for_o it_o as_o a_o transgression_n against_o my_o father_n but_o i_o be_o not_o a_o jot_n more_o unjustified_a than_o i_o be_v before_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n that_o christ_n have_v fulfil_v so_o thus_o i_o will_v have_v you_o do_v as_o your_o merchant_n and_o tradesman_n in_o your_o city_n you_o have_v a_o certain_a stock_n that_o you_o lock_v it_o may_v be_v in_o a_o iron_n chest_n and_o that_o stock_n be_v the_o quick_a as_o you_o

so_o i_o will_v have_v it_o with_o you_o that_o see_v justification_n be_v only_o build_v on_o christ_n and_o i_o have_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n to_o certify_v i_o of_o it_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o faith_n to_o show_v it_o i_o within_o i_o will_v not_o have_v my_o good_a or_o evil_a to_o be_v a_o ingredient_n into_o that_o but_o leave_v that_o as_o a_o stock_n clear_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o

be_v because_o his_o action_n be_v carry_v by_o fancy_n and_o he_o have_v not_o reason_n to_o rule_v and_o sway_v he_o now_o you_o know_v a_o man_n do_v not_o do_v and_o undo_v thing_n like_o a_o child_n see_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v in_o a_o natural_a way_n between_o a_o man_n at_o full_a age_n and_o a_o child_n at_o three_o or_o four_o year_n old_a so_o much_o and_o more_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o a_o godly_a spiritual_a man_n and_o a_o natural_a man_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o when_o a_o godly_a man_n hear_v a_o natural_a man_n discourse_n and_o say_v he_o will_v do_v this_o and_o that_o he_o will_v go_v to_o the_o war_n and_o he_o will_v take_v this_o and_o that_o garrison_n he_o smile_v at_o it_o because_o he_o know_v he_o will_v not_o be_v constant_a take_v man_n all_o along_o in_o these_o war_n for_o some_o year_n past_a whither_o they_o be_v commander_n or_o other_o you_o shall_v see_v how_o many_o brave_a resolute_a man_n both_o go_v forth_o and_o be_v here_o in_o the_o parliament_n at_o home_n and_o where_o be_v they_o now_o but_o now_o take_v a_o godly_a man_n either_o in_o the_o army_n or_o elsewhere_o and_o you_o can_v say_v of_o he_o he_o be_v so_o but_o he_o be_v so_o because_o he_o have_v some_o reason_n to_o carry_v he_o along_o that_o the_o other_o have_v not_o he_o go_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n &_o the_o respect_n of_o that_o continue_v with_o he_o the_o other_o go_v out_o for_o a_o show_n for_o a_o blast_n and_o so_o be_v turn_v about_o with_o every_o wind_n like_o a_o weathercock_n and_o all_o this_o for_o want_n of_o spiritual_a reason_n condition_n why_o the_o saint_n be_v comfortable_a in_o the_o worst_a condition_n moreover_o it_o appear_v by_o this_o why_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v godly_a and_o spiritual_a be_v so_o comfortable_a even_o in_o the_o worst_a condition_n and_o why_o other_o man_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o be_v deject_v take_v a_o saint_n and_o put_v he_o into_o any_o condition_n and_o he_o know_v how_o to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n take_v a_o paul_n or_o a_o sylas_n and_o put_v they_o in_o prison_n and_o let_v they_o be_v to_o be_v hang_v to_o morrow_n and_o yet_o they_o can_v rejoice_v and_o sing_v they_o can_v rejoce_fw-mi in_o tribulation_n as_o well_o as_o in_o prosperity_n but_o now_o man_n that_o have_v not_o faith_n that_o be_v not_o spiritual_a though_o they_o laugh_v loud_o sometime_o when_o they_o be_v in_o prosperity_n yet_o when_o affliction_n come_v they_o be_v down_o again_o and_o this_o come_v from_o hence_o not_o because_o godly_a man_n be_v mad_a man_n that_o they_o can_v rejoice_v in_o chain_n as_o man_n in_o bedlam_n do_v but_o it_o be_v from_o spiritual_a reason_n when_o they_o be_v in_o affliction_n they_o can_v reason_v i_o be_o now_o in_o much_o shame_n and_o poverty_n but_o i_o know_v that_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n all_o shall_v turn_v to_o their_o good_a they_o be_v christ_n and_o all_o be_v for_o their_o salvation_n and_o thus_o they_o will_v draw_v from_o the_o scripture_n by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n such_o kind_n of_o argument_n as_o will_v draw_v they_o up_o and_o fill_v they_o with_o joy_n even_o in_o the_o worst_a condition_n which_o because_o the_o other_o have_v not_o they_o be_v up_o and_o down_o though_o their_o laughter_n be_v loud_a as_o solomon_n say_v yet_o it_o be_v but_o as_o the_o crackle_n of_o thorn_n that_o end_n in_o smoke_n and_o smother_v and_o ash_n o_o the_o godly_a be_v endue_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o spiritual_a reason_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v so_o much_o reason_n in_o godliness_n that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o a_o few_o fisherman_n and_o contemptible_a man_n without_o any_o force_n of_o rme_n without_o any_o sword_n draw_v they_o have_v be_v able_a to_o break_v the_o great_a emperor_n of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o plant_v religion_n over_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v no_o natural_a reason_n in_o it_o in_o the_o world_n that_o a_o hundred_o or_o half_o a_o hundred_o shall_v go_v forth_o and_o tell_v a_o story_n of_o a_o

that_o have_v no_o oratory_n in_o the_o world_n to_o go_v and_o tell_v people_n that_o by_o this_o man_n be_v salvation_n and_o that_o they_o must_v believe_v in_o he_o and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o power_n in_o themselves_o to_o do_v it_o and_o that_o if_o they_o do_v believe_v in_o he_o they_o must_v deny_v themselves_o and_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o land_n and_o life_n and_o then_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o reward_n they_o know_v not_o where_o nor_o whence_o hereafter_o in_o heaven_n but_o nothing_o in_o this_o world_n which_o there_o be_v no_o natural_a reason_n to_o persuade_v they_o to_o and_o there_o be_v no_o sword_n to_o command_v they_o for_o their_o commission_n be_v only_o to_o tell_v man_n that_o if_o they_o believe_v they_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o must_v be_v damn_v and_o yet_o we_o see_v the_o gospel_n have_v prevail_v in_o many_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n more_o or_o less_o now_o when_o mahomet_n come_v he_o come_v as_o

like_o mad_a man_n but_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o though_o there_o be_v no_o natural_a reason_n in_o it_o nor_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n yet_o they_o speak_v in_o demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n they_o speak_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o they_o that_o be_v perfect_a there_o be_v spiritual_a reason_n in_o every_o piece_n of_o that_o doctrine_n that_o be_v able_a to_o
