if_o you_o consent_v not_o to_o this_o you_o then_o must_v maintain_v that_o this_o covenant_n exclude_v not_o infidel_n from_o salvation_n the_o term_n only_o be_v not_o employ_v in_o the_o promise_n of_o pardon_n to_o believer_n but_o if_o you_o grant_v all_o this_o as_o sure_o you_o will_v than_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o believe_v be_v take_v in_o the_o same_o sense_n in_o the_o promise_n and_o in_o the_o threaten_n for_o no_o man_n breathe_v can_v tell_v i_o either_o how_o a_o promise_n to_o one_o kind_n of_o faith_n can_v imply_v a_o threaten_n against_o the_o want_n of_o another_o kind_n or_o act_n of_o faith_n or_o else_o what_o that_o other_o faith_n must_v be_v that_o be_v so_o employ_v if_o not_o the_o same_o and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o same_o faith_n that_o be_v employ_v which_o be_v a_o most_o evident_a truth_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o if_o i_o prove_v the_o threaten_v unbelief_n to_o be_v a_o reject_v of_o christ_n as_o king_n the_o faith_n then_o that_o be_v make_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o promise_n must_v be_v the_o accept_n of_o he_o as_o king_n as_o well_o as_o priest_n but_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o not_o believe_v in_o christ_n as_o king_n be_v part_n of_o the_o unbelief_n that_o be_v special_o threaten_a werth_n condemnation_n therefore_o believe_v in_o he_o as_o king_n be_v part_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o have_v the_o promise_n or_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o justification_n but_o say_v mr._n blake_n i_o further_a answer_n reject_v christ_n as_o king_n be_v a_o sin_n against_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o damn_v yet_o somewhat_o more_o than_o subjection_n to_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v require_v than_o a_o sinner_n may_v be_v save_v repl._n for_o my_o part_n i_o know_v no_o law_n but_o moral_a law_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a law_n that_o be_v not_o moral_a as_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a animal_n that_o be_v not_o quid_fw-la physicum_fw-la but_o yet_o i_o partly_o understand_v what_o some_o other_o mean_v by_o the_o phrase_n moral_a law_n but_o what_o you_o mean_v i_o can_v tell_v for_o all_o your_o two_o volume_n and_o it_o be_v to_o small_a purpose_n to_o dispute_v upon_o term_n who_o sense_n we_o be_v

answer_v you_o the_o reject_v of_o christ_n as_o king_n be_v no_o further_o a_o sin_n against_o the_o moral_a law_n than_o the_o accept_v he_o as_o king_n be_v a_o duty_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n will_v you_o not_o believe_v this_o without_o a_o dispute_n when_o you_o be_v tell_v by_o paul_n that_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n and_o elsewhere_o that_o sin_n

that_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o privation_n of_o that_o duty_n i_o desire_v no_o reader_n that_o will_v not_o receive_v these_o thing_n without_o any_o more_o argue_v mr._n blake_n add_v unbelief_n if_o we_o speak_v proper_o do_v not_o at_o all_o condemn_v further_o than_o as_o it_o be_v a_o breath_n of_o a_o moral_a commandment_n the_o privation_n of_o which_o you_o speak_v only_o hold_v the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n in_o force_n and_o power_n against_o we_o which_o i_o think_v shall_v be_v your_o judgement_n as_o well_o as_o i_o see_v you_o be_v wont_a to_o compare_v the_o new_a law_n as_o you_o call_v it_o to_o a_o act_n of_o oblivion_n and_o a_o act_n of_o oblivion_n save_v many_o but_o condemn_v none_o repl._n it_o be_v in_o more_o than_o one_o thing_n i_o perceive_v that_o we_o differ_v but_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o you_o must_v not_o so_o easy_o take_v out_o of_o our_o hand_n though_o have_v have_v occasion_n to_o speak_v large_o of_o it_o elsewhere_o i_o shall_v say_v but_o little_a now_o first_o again_o i_o know_v no_o commandment_n that_o be_v not_o moral_a but_o if_o you_o mean_v by_o moral_a the_o commandment_n either_o mere_o as_o deliver_v by_o moses_n or_o as_o write_v in_o nature_n i_o be_o not_o of_o your_o mind_n nor_o ever_o shall_v be_v to_o be_v void_a of_o the_o belief_n of_o these_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n that_o this_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v actual_o conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n suffer_v under_o pontius_n pilate_n be_v crucify_v dead_a and_o bury_v rose_n again_o the_o three_o day_n ascend_v into_o heaven_n sit_v in_o our_o nature_n at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o his_o apostle_n to_o confirm_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n with_o many_o more_o do_v condemn_v further_a than_o as_o it_o be_v a_o breach_n either_o of_o the_o moysaicall_a or_o natural_a law_n yea_o in_o some_o respect_n as_o it_o be_v no_o breach_n of_o those_o law_n and_o yet_o the_o same_o sin_n material_o may_v be_v a_o breach_n of_o several_a law_n and_o condemn_v by_o several_a second_o you_o very_o much_o mistake_v my_o judgement_n here_o if_o you_o think_v it_o the_o same_o with_o you_o nor_o will_v the_o mention_n of_o a_o act_n of_o oblivion_n justify_v your_o mistake_n i_o suppose_v a_o act_n of_o oblivion_n may_v possible_o have_v a_o penalty_n annex_v as_o that_o all_o that_o stand_v our_o and_o accept_v not_o of_o this_o pardon_n by_o such_o a_o year_n or_o day_n shall_v be_v remediless_a and_o liable_a to_o a_o great_a

special_a threaten_v when_o i_o so_o often_o read_v it_o he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o unless_o you_o believe_v that_o i_o be_o he_o you_o shall_v die_v in_o your_o sin_n and_o i_o take_v it_o to_o differ_v from_o the_o threaten_v of_o the_o law_n of_o work_n thus_o first_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o condition_n which_o be_v not_o sin_n in_o general_a any_o sin_n but_o a_o special_a sin_n viz._n the_o final_a reject_v the_o remedy_n that_o be_v refuse_v to_o turn_v to_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n second_o in_o the_o penalty_n first_o the_o gospel_n penalty_n be_v non-liberation_a from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n not_o to_o be_v forgive_v or_o save_v this_o have_v be_v but_o a_o negation_n and_o not_o penal_a if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o christ_n and_o gospel_n but_o it_o be_v a_o privation_n and_o penal_a now_o because_o by_o a_o special_a sin_n we_o forfeit_v our_o hope_n and_o possibility_n second_o as_o to_o the_o degree_n i_o find_v it_o will_v be_v a_o far_o sore_a punishment_n heb._n 10.29_o the_o law_n of_o great_a grace_n do_v threaten_v the_o great_a punishment_n three_o and_o doubtless_o in_o hell_n conscience_n will_v have_v a_o special_a kind_n of_o accusation_n and_o self-tormenting_n in_o reflect_v on_o the_o refusal_n of_o the_o remedy_n and_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n which_o be_v a_o punishment_n that_o be_v never_o threaten_v by_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n four_o and_o there_o will_v be_v a_o privation_n of_o a_o great_a glory_n than_o ever_o be_v promise_v under_o the_o law_n of_o work_n five_o as_o also_o of_o a_o special_a sort_n of_o eternal_a felicity_n consist_v in_o love_v the_o redeemer_n and_o sing_v

again_o james_n say_v true_a for_o this_o faith_n which_o in_o respect_n of_o its_o act_n ad_fw-la intra_fw-la do_v only_o justify_v yet_o it_o work_v ad_fw-la extra_fw-la the_o old_a assertion_n be_v

your_o discourse_n whether_o paul_n dispute_v what_o be_v our_o righteousness_n or_o upon_o what_o term_n it_o be_v make_v over_o to_o we_o it_o do_v not_o much_o matter_n for_o indeed_o paul_n speak_v to_o both_o those_o only_a inclusive_o or_o collateral_o as_o you_o say_v but_o that_o which_o he_o chief_o intend_v be_v to_o show_v in_o what_o manner_n we_o be_v justify_v whether_o by_o

can_v you_o find_v out_o such_o a_o figure_n for_o faith_n in_o your_o sense_n unless_o you_o will_v acknowledge_v love_n or_o obedience_n relative_o for_o christ_n righteousness_n indeed_o those_o that_o hold_v faith_n instrumental_o receive_v the_o whole_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o no_o other_o grace_n they_o often_o speak_v of_o faith_n take_v relative_o but_o so_o can_v you_o who_o

assembly_n definition_n of_o rest_v or_o receive_v you_o can_v take_v in_o that_o sense_n as_o they_o declare_v it_o as_o the_o scripture_n word_n which_o be_v metaphorical_a do_v imply_v for_o its_o the_o rest_v of_o a_o burden_a soul_n upon_o christ_n only_o for_o righseousness_n and_o by_o this_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v make_v over_o to_o we_o and_o it_o be_v a_o receive_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o hand_n embrace_v any_o object_n now_o you_o make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n make_v over_o to_o we_o in_o any_o other_o exercise_n of_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o this_o so_o that_o although_o you_o will_v willing_o seem_v not_o to_o recede_v from_o other_o yet_o you_o plain_o do_v and_o although_o you_o think_v your_o assertion_n be_v but_o more_o distinct_a explication_n yet_o they_o be_v indeed_o destructive_a assertion_n to_o what_o our_o divine_n do_v deliver_v neither_o may_v you_o while_o you_o intend_v to_o dispute_v exact_o build_v upon_o some_o homiletical_a or_o

thereupon_o you_o instance_n in_o hezekiah_n paul_n and_o that_o no_o man_n can_v die_v with_o comfort_n without_o the_o evidence_n of_o these_o work_n but_o be_v this_o the_o state_n of_o the_o
