christ_n which_o thing_n paul_n also_o teach_v say_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n be_v christ_n to_o salvation_n law_n the_o law_n do_v not_o by_o itself_o bring_v man_n to_o christ_n and_o to_o

the_o law_n because_o of_o necessity_n such_o doctrine_n ought_v to_o be_v both_o spiritual_a and_o also_o to_o engender_v a_o wonderful_a excellent_a knowledge_n and_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o god_n

this_o definition_n may_v be_v most_o apt_o apply_v unto_o the_o law_n of_o god_n yea_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o law_n law_n lawgever_n make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o their_o law_n unless_o

to_o begin_v a_o new_a matter_n to_o entreat_v of_o for_o hitherto_o he_o have_v prove_v that_o justification_n come_v not_o of_o human_a wisdom_n nor_o philosophy_n nor_o also_o of_o our_o work_n
