and_o he_o have_v give_v it_o we_o take_v ourselves_o bind_v to_o be_v subject_a unto_o it_o the_o apostle_n also_o press_v the_o moral_a law_n upon_o several_a relation_n of_o man_n eph._n 6.1,2,3_o

unto_o his_o people_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n though_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o take_v themselves_o to_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o

they_o to_o keep_v it_o though_o not_o perfect_o yet_o sincere_o than_o they_o take_v themselves_o bind_v to_o obey_v the_o law_n though_o they_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n for_o do_v we_o make_v void_a the_o law_n through_o faith_n god_n forbid_v yea_o we_o establish_v the_o law_n for_o what_o need_n have_v christian_n of_o free_a justification_n by_o christ_n if_o they_o be_v

for_o the_o continuance_n of_o our_o justification_n but_o that_o we_o find_v ourselves_o ungodly_a creature_n against_o the_o righteous_a and_o holy_a law_n of_o god_n therefore_o if_o god_n have_v give_v man_n the_o law_n &_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o strengthen_v they_o in_o the_o obedience_n of_o it_o and_o his_o grace_n to_o save_v they_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o it_o than_o christian_n

be_v divers_a effect_n spring_v from_o the_o subjection_n of_o god_n people_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n 1_o as_o they_o take_v themselves_o bind_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o it_o so_o they_o believe_v and_o many_o time_n feel_v the_o fatherly_a displeasure_n of_o god_n when_o they_o transgress_v it_o now_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n can_v not_o bring_v they_o under_o the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n unless_o they_o be_v bind_v unto_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n this_o displeasure_n david_n be_v sensible_a of_o psal_n 38.1,2,3_o etc._n etc._n where_o he_o
