A49184	Remarks on the R.

thou_o for_o ever_o and_o as_o for_o thou_o do_v thou_o walk_v before_o i_o and_o be_v thou_o perfect_a or_o sincere_a and_o these_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n or_o agreement_n by_o this_o also_o we_o see_v that_o above_o 100_o year_n ago_o our_o doctrine_n be_v maintain_v by_o the_o reform_a in_o switzerland_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o gospel-covenant_n have_v precept_n which_o

therefore_o a_o believer_n be_v now_o whole_o free_a from_o all_o law_n but_o say_v mr._n shephard_n the_o gospel_n and_o law_n be_v take_v two_o way_n 1._o large_o the_o law_n for_o the_o whole_a

be_v that_o law_n which_o reveal_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o eternal_a life_n upon_o condition_n of_o do_v or_o of_o perfect_a obedience_n the_o law_n of_o faith_n strict_o take_v be_v that_o doctrine_n which_o reveal_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n by_o christ_n righteousness_n only_o apprehend_v by_o faith_n now_o the_o gospel_n in_o this_o latter_a sense_n exclude_v all_o work_n and_o require_v no_o do_v in_o point_n of_o justification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n before_o god_n but_o only_o believe_v but_o take_v the_o gospel_n large_o for_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o god_n love_n and_o free_a grace_n and_o so_o the_o gospel_n require_v do_v for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n free_a grace_n to_o justify_v a_o man_n without_o call_v for_o any_o work_v thereunto_o so_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o same_o free_a grace_n to_o require_v work_n of_o a_o person_n justify_v and_o that_o such_o poor_a sinner_n shall_v stand_v before_o the_o son_n of_o god_n on_o his_o throne_n to_o minister_v unto_o he_o and_o serve_v he_o in_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n tit._n 2_o 14._o and_o for_o any_o to_o think_v that_o the_o gospel_n require_v no_o condition_n be_v a_o sudden_a dream_n against_o hundred_o of_o scripture_n which_o contain_v conditional_a yet_o evangelical_n promise_v and_o against_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o most_o judicious_a of_o our_o divine_n etc._n etc._n thus_o mr._n shephard_n where_o it_o be_v observable_a 1._o that_o according_a to_o he_o the_o gospel_n even_o strict_o take_v as_o it_o respect_v justification_n only_o require_v the_o duty_n and_o condition_n of_o believe_v and_o therein_o i_o agree_v with_o he_o that_o it_o require_v faith_n and_o only_a faith_n as_o that_o whereby_o we_o apprehend_v christ_n righteousness_n for_o to_o do_v that_o be_v the_o office_n of_o faith_n alone_o and_o of_o no_o other_o grace_n or_o duty_n 2._o it_o be_v observable_a that_o according_a to_o he_o the_o gospel_n take_v large_o not_o for_o all_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o for_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o god_n love_n and_o free_a grace_n so_o it_o require_v do_v of_o justify_v person_n and_o it_o require_v not_o only_o the_o duty_n of_o believe_v but_o it_o also_o require_v that_o we_o serve_v god_n in_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n this_o be_v plain_a and_o so_o plain_a that_o i_o hope_v no_o honest_a man_n who_o fear_v god_n and_o love_v truth_n will_v ever_o dare_v to_o deny_v it_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o must_v profess_v to_o the_o world_n that_o i_o be_o persuade_v it_o be_v my_o duty_n to_o lose_v my_o life_n rather_o than_o impudent_o deny_v so_o plain_a a_o matter_n of_o fact_n 3_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o though_o mr._n shephard_n do_v not_o here_o mention_v repentance_n in_o order_n to_o remission_n of_o sin_n yet_o afterward_o in_o p._n 94._o of_o the_o same_o book_n he_o do_v express_o mention_v it_o as_o well_o as_o faith_n though_o it_o have_v not_o the_o same_o use_n and_o office_n which_o faith_n have_v in_o justification_n

good_a gospel_n there_o be_v 1._o a_o precept_n believe_v for_o it_o be_v a_o verb_n of_o the_o imperative_a mood_n which_o command_v and_o require_v the_o duty_n of_o believe_v 2._o there_o be_v a_o

the_o gospel_n if_o mercy_n and_o pardon_n be_v at_o all_o offer_v it_o must_v be_v by_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o law_n offer_v no_o such_o thing_n to_o any_o and_o if_o it_o be_v offer_v by_o the_o

a_o revelation_n of_o mercy_n and_o pardon_n to_o the_o elect_a but_o a_o revelation_n of_o mercy_n and_o pardon_n to_o the_o elect_a only_o can_v be_v a_o offer_n of_o mercy_n and_o pardon_n to_o

be_v reveal_v to_o the_o angel_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o by_o its_o revelation_n make_v any_o offer_n of_o mercy_n and_o pardon_n to_o they_o so_o that_o the_o mere_a supernatural_a revelation_n of_o

it_o can_v be_v by_o the_o absolute_a promise_n for_o the_o absolute_a promise_n be_v not_o make_v to_o the_o non-elect_a unbeliever_n beside_o that_o the_o absolute_a promise_n be_v always_o fulfil_v and_o so_o the_o non-elect_a shall_v be_v certain_o pardon_v and_o save_v and_o since_o it_o be_v so_o evident_a that_o it_o can_v be_v by_o the_o absolute_a promise_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v by_o the_o conditional_a promise_n that_o mercy_n and_o pardon_n be_v offer_v to_o non-elect_a unbeliever_n in_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o consequent_o the_o gospel_n have_v a_o
