they_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n remain_v which_o i_o remember_v you_o offer_v that_o require_v some_o more_o large_a consideration_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o though_o you_o be_v willing_a to_o

have_v a_o most_o signal_n instance_n in_o the_o ninevite_n of_o these_o two_o thing_n i_o do_v here_o stand_v upon_o if_o god_n government_n over_o the_o heathen_a be_v not_o by_o the_o law_n of_o

both_o these_o thing_n i_o say_v have_v in_o this_o one_o instance_n their_o full_a evidence_n and_o what_o think_v we_o of_o cornelius_n the_o centurion_n and_o roman_n how_o can_v his_o prayer_n and_o alm_n be_v accept_v with_o god_n if_o cornelius_n as_o well_o as_o paul_n a_o roman_a as_o well_o as_o a_o jew_n be_v not_o under_o the_o same_o government_n of_o grace_n when_o there_o be_v nothing_o we_o do_v but_o be_v imperfect_a and_o liable_a to_o a_o curse_n by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n and_o what_o shall_v we_o conclude_v then_o from_o both_o instance_n but_o that_o which_o peter_n upon_o conviction_n himself_o conclude_v of_o a_o truth_n i_o perceive_v that_o god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n but_o in_o every_o nation_n he_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o work_v

be_v promulgate_v to_o the_o subject_a that_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n be_v good_a for_o the_o world_n there_o can_v be_v no_o question_n that_o it_o be_v god_n will_n the_o world_n shall_v be_v

will_v write_v my_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n say_v god_n in_o the_o new_a covenant_n as_o distinguish_v from_o that_o of_o moses_n and_o in_o the_o express_a declaration_n of_o god_n to_o our_o first_o parent_n that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o in_o his_o covenant_n with_o noah_n which_o must_v be_v understand_v without_o dispute_n in_o

of_o god_n according_a to_o it_o and_o consequent_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n of_o salvation_n i_o will_v to_o these_o reason_n add_v one_o syllogism_n it_o be_v not_o the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n but_o doer_n shall_v be_v justify_v this_o be_v express_v in_o one_o verse_n of_o the_o second_o to_o the_o roman_n but_o some_o heathen_a be_v doer_n though_o not_o hearer_n of_o it_o this_o be_v affirm_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n for_o when_o the_o gentile_n which_o have_v not_o the_o law_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n with_o the_o rest_n follow_v ergo_fw-la some_o heathen_a be_v justify_v and_o save_v if_o any_o cavil_n and_o say_v that_o no_o man_n be_v a_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n he_o must_v be_v answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o do_v only_o as_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v among_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v godly_a or_o jew_n inward_o in_o the_o verse_n after_o and_o i_o renew_v my_o argument_n they_o that_o be_v doer_n of_o the_o law_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o such_o text_n as_o make_v the_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n such_o as_o when_o christ_n say_v if_o thou_o

shall_v have_v eternal_a life_n that_o be_v they_o who_o be_v doer_n of_o it_o as_o all_o that_o be_v jew_n inward_o and_o in_o the_o spirit_n do_v keep_v it_o and_o no_o otherwise_o to_o wit_n not_o

they_o i_o say_v shall_v be_v justify_v and_o save_v but_o some_o heathen_a be_v doer_n of_o the_o law_n in_o this_o sense_n which_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n ergo_fw-la some_o heathen_a

the_o law_n judge_v thou_o who_o by_o the_o letter_n and_o circumcision_n do_v break_v the_o law_n it_o follow_v that_o such_o as_o these_o therefore_o be_v jew_n inward_o and_o in_o the_o spirit_n
