reprover_n shall_v know_v it_o be_v in_o regard_n of_o such_o that_o this_o difference_n be_v to_o be_v hold_v it_o be_v true_a then_o the_o penitent_a jew_n have_v the_o promise_n to_o trust_v to_o

it_o be_v object_v against_o such_o divine_n that_o they_o be_v but_o legal_a preacher_n and_o that_o they_o impeach_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o put_v man_n so_o much_o on_o do_v to_o the_o one_o

with_o a_o more_o willing_a and_o cheerful_a mind_n than_o the_o law_n do_v i_o will_v here_o under_o favour_n of_o this_o ingenious_a person_n use_v a_o few_o word_n for_o the_o first_o i_o look_v not_o on_o this_o answer_n so_o jejune_o as_o if_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o author_n be_v only_a that_o they_o preach_v not_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n for_o who_o need_v be_v inform_v of_o that_o or_o that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n do_v no_o long_o oblige_v but_o suppose_v the_o moral_a law_n itself_o come_v under_o a_o double_a consideration_n to_o wit_n as_o deliver_v by_o moses_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v this_o indeed_o which_o be_v worth_a his_o enquiry_n how_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n or_o those_o good_a work_n which_o we_o as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v bind_v to_o perform_v be_v obligatory_a in_o the_o one_o respect_n and_o not_o in_o the_o other_o now_o shall_v he_o have_v use_v these_o word_n as_o some_o of_o our_o divine_n do_v and_o by_o the_o distinction_n intend_v only_o we_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o good_a work_n in_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n but_o out_o of_o gratitude_n to_o our_o redeemer_n or_o to_o that_o purpose_n he_o must_v run_v straight_o into_o that_o praemunire_n which_o he_o strive_v to_o avoid_v to_o wit_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n only_o if_o he_o stick_v upon_o this_o that_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n be_v give_v for_o a_o temporal_a covenant_n and_o not_o so_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n i_o do_v

that_o i_o may_v inherit_v eternal_a life_n and_o he_o say_v to_o he_o if_o thou_o will_v enter_v into_o life_n keep_v the_o commandment_n the_o commandment_n then_o i_o say_v may_v be_v consider_v

that_o ever_o be_v and_o be_v final_o justify_v and_o save_v for_o the_o second_o we_o have_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v touch_v in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o do_v not_o believe_v crave_v that_o gentleman_n pardon_n that_o the_o gospel_n give_v any_o better_a or_o any_o other_o rule_v of_o life_n than_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n have_v

i_o will_v confess_v though_o in_o my_o judgement_n i_o be_o persuade_v that_o what_o i_o have_v write_v be_v the_o truth_n and_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o truth_n that_o make_v i_o write_v it_o yet_o do_v my_o heart_n a_o little_a misgive_v i_o that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o let_v pious_a man_n alone_o to_o such_o apprehension_n as_o they_o have_v imbibe_v though_o mingle_v with_o much_o darkness_n and_o some_o error_n in_o such_o a_o point_n as_o this_o where_o so_o much_o of_o their_o peace_n and_o life_n be_v bind_v up_o then_o to_o offer_v they_o any_o unsettlement_n by_o clear_a light_n though_o i_o be_v able_a indeed_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o they_o i_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v sorry_a if_o i_o offend_v any_o body_n but_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o care_n i_o stumble_v none_o who_o be_v good_a man_n and_o live_v godly_a neither_o will_v i_o straighten_v my_o own_o soul_n if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o therefore_o in_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n than_o i_o have_v express_v in_o that_o paper_n which_o i_o know_v not_o i_o do_v not_o part_v with_o my_o portion_n in_o it_o i_o protest_v thus_o much_o but_o will_v rather_o renounce_v all_o upon_o the_o conviction_n to_o cleave_v to_o it_o that_o christ_n righteousness_n do_v justify_v we_o from_o the_o law_n and_o so_o from_o sin_n and_o from_o condemnation_n i_o do_v hold_v no_o less_o than_o other_o but_o that_o christ_n righteousness_n do_v justify_v we_o by_o the_o law_n be_v a_o overgrow_a conception_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o work_n of_o man_n be_v we_o never_o so_o holy_a be_v able_a to_o stand_v before_o god_n in_o his_o disstrict_n judgement_n that_o be_v if_o he_o shall_v deal_v with_o we_o according_a to_o the_o exact_a justice_n of_o the_o

with_o thy_o servant_n o_o lord_n for_o in_o thy_o sight_n shall_v no_o flesh_n live_v be_v justify_v if_o any_o papist_n then_o shall_v think_v that_o man_n righteousness_n be_v make_v so_o perfect_a by_o christ_n merit_n or_o any_o protestant_n that_o christ_n righteousness_n itself_o be_v so_o make_v we_o as_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n upon_o that_o account_n they_o be_v both_o mistake_v this_o be_v the_o only_a true_a extremity_n on_o both_o side_n for_o it_o be_v not_o by_o the_o law_n but_o by_o faith_n by_o the_o evangelical_n covenant_n or_o by_o grace_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v we_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n say_v the_o the_o apostle_n but_o under_o grace_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o a_o poor_a sinner_n to_o have_v a_o righteousness_n impute_v to_o he_o without_o work_n and_o that_o he_o be_v pardon_v but_o to_o have_v a_o righteonsness_n impute_v to_o he_o with_o work_n be_v more_o than_o we_o can_v sin_v to_o be_v allow_v he_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v such_o and_o to_o have_v that_o make_v we_o in_o itself_o or_o so_o as_o that_o in_o god_n reckon_n we_o must_v be_v as_o righteous_a as_o he_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v it_o be_v not_o hard_o perhaps_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v turn_v into_o christ_n body_n where_o we_o have_v a_o text_n for_o it_o in_o the_o sacrament_n then_o to_o believe_v such_o a_o conceit_n for_o which_o we_o have_v no_o scripture_n at_o all_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n what_o then_o do_v i_o deny_v imputation_n no_o but_o i_o explain_v it_o it_o be_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n not_o inherent_a in_o we_o our_o divine_n will_v say_v ordinary_o but_o impute_v to_o we_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o what_o if_o i_o thus_o interpret_v this_o for_o they_o that_o be_v not_o as_o if_o we_o have_v do_v in_o his_o person_n what_o christ_n do_v but_o by_o his_o righteousness_n make_v we_o in_o the_o effect_n only_o so_o the_o very_a learned_a

to_o lead_v they_o thereunto_o or_o unto_o christ_n yet_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o he_o advance_v the_o point_n high_o while_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o by_o work_v neither_o jew_n nor_o gemile_n can_v be_v justify_v so_o that_o by_o work_n he_o must_v mean_v the_o observation_n of_o that_o law_n of_o work_n which_o be_v common_a to_o both_o and_o not_o moses_n law_n only_o and_o the_o resolution_n of_o the_o dispute_n in_o both_o apostle_n come_v to_o this_o as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o not_o of_o the_o ovenant_n of_o work_n or_o law_n of_o moses_n that_o a_o man_n be_v to_o look_v for_o life_n everlasting_a i_o must_v add_v nor_o be_v they_o to_o be_v hear_v in_o a_o three_o place_n who_o say_v

and_o so_o resolve_v that_o it_o be_v not_o by_o any_o work_n which_o we_o do_v even_a faith_n itself_o as_o a_o work_n but_o by_o the_o work_v christ_n have_v do_v for_o we_o that_o be_v by_o the_o
