that_o exhortation_n wherewith_o the_o apostle_n address_v the_o galatian_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o chapter_n upon_o the_o like_a occasion_n stand_v fast_o in_o the_o liberty_n wherewith_o

which_o work_v by_o love_n as_o be_v palpable_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o can_v not_o use_v both_o these_o two_o uncircumcision_n and_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o love_n as_o

he_o do_v insinuate_v the_o contrary_a of_o the_o latter_a and_o so_o by_o uncircumcision_n he_o must_v needs_o have_v mean_v that_o kind_n of_o religion_n which_o stand_v in_o contradistinction_n to_o this_o other_o and_o consequent_o that_o which_o i_o have_v now_o describe_v as_o the_o true_a importance_n of_o that_o word_n so_o that_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o text_n run_v most_o

work_v by_o love_n now_o by_o this_o we_o can_v only_o understand_v that_o generous_a and_o suitable_a temper_n of_o mind_n whereby_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v exalt_v to_o the_o great_a height_n of_o perfection_n that_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o on_o this_o side_n of_o its_o glorious_a estate_n for_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o conceive_v a_o more_o emphatic_a or_o comprehensive_a account_n of_o all_o that_o be_v requisite_a for_o make_v up_o the_o most_o spiritual_a and_o divine_a religion_n than_o what_o be_v imply_v in_o faith_n work_v by_o love_n all_o that_o can_v be_v call_v sanctity_n or_o goodness_n be_v full_o comprise_v in_o that_o grace_n thus_o operative_a and_o prolific_a it_o be_v easy_a to_o show_v this_o both_o from_o the_o complexion_n of_o such_o a_o

do_v reconcile_v to_o those_o fond_a and_o dote_a creature_n that_o have_v ever_o be_v wheedle_v with_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o i_o have_v not_o raise_v any_o other_o doctrine_n from_o this_o
