to_o adam_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o desire_v to_o know_v more_o or_o otherwise_o then_o god_n have_v appoint_v 2._o why_o god_n will_v give_v a_o positive_a law_n beside_o that_o of_o the_o natural_a forth_o law_n in_o his_o heart_n there_o be_v these_o reason_n common_o give_v 1._o that_o hereby_o god_n dominion_n and_o power_n over_o man_n may_v be_v the_o more_o acknowledge_v for_o to_o obey_v the_o natural_a law_n may_v be_v a_o necessary_a condition_n and_o not_o a_o act_n of_o the_o will_n even_o as_o the_o heathen_n do_v abstain_v from_o many_o sin_n not_o because_o forbid_v by_o god_n but_o as_o dissonant_n to_o their_o natural_a reason_n and_o even_o among_o christian_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o good_a action_n that_o be_v do_v because_o god_n command_v and_o because_o of_o a_o natural_a conscience_n these_o two_o principle_n make_v the_o same_o action_n to_o differ_v in_o their_o whole_a nature_n therefore_o god_n will_v try_v adam_n by_o some_o positive_a law_n that_o so_o the_o dominion_n and_o power_n which_o god_n have_v over_o he_o may_v be_v the_o more_o eminent_o hold_v forth_o and_o therefore_o adam_n in_o this_o be_v not_o to_o consider_v the_o greatness_n or_o goodness_n of_o the_o matter_n but_o the_o will_n of_o the_o commander_n 2._o another_o reason_n which_o flow_v from_o the_o former_a be_v that_o obedience_n so_o adam_n obedience_n may_v be_v the_o more_o try_v and_o be_v manifest_v to_o be_v obedience_n for_o as_o austin_n speak_v of_o himself_o in_o confess_v his_o wickedness_n that_o though_o he_o have_v no_o need_n or_o temptation_n to_o sin_n yet_o to_o be_v a_o sinner_n he_o delight_v in_o that_o nulla_fw-la alia_fw-la causa_fw-la malitiae_fw-la nisi_fw-la malitia_fw-la so_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v a_o excellent_a aggravation_n of_o obedience_n when_o there_o be_v nulla_fw-la alia_fw-la causa_fw-la obedientiae_fw-la nisi_fw-la obedientia_fw-la so_o that_o the_o forbear_v to_o eat_v be_v not_o from_o any_o sin_n in_o the_o action_n but_o from_o the_o will_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n and_o austin_n do_v well_o explain_v this_o if_o a_o man_n say_v he_o forbid_v another_o to_o touch_v such_o a_o herb_n because_o it_o be_v poison_n this_o herb_n be_v contrary_a to_o a_o man_n health_n whether_o it_o be_v forbid_v or_o no_o or_o if_o a_o man_n forbid_v a_o thing_n because_o it_o will_v be_v a_o hindrance_n to_o he_o that_o forbid_v as_o to_o take_v away_o a_o man_n money_n or_o good_n here_o it_o be_v forbid_v because_o it_o will_v be_v loss_n to_o he_o that_o forbid_v but_o if_o a_o man_n forbid_v that_o which_o be_v neither_o of_o these_o way_n hurtful_a therefore_o it_o be_v forbid_v because_o bonum_fw-la obedientiae_fw-la per_fw-la se_fw-la &_o malum_fw-la inobedientiae_fw-la per_fw-la se_fw-la monstraretur_fw-la and_o this_o be_v also_o further_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o though_o the_o obedience_n unto_o this_o positive_a law_n be_v far_o inferior_a unto_o that_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n because_o the_o object_n of_o one_o be_v inward_o good_a and_o the_o object_n of_o the_o other_o rather_o a_o profession_n of_o obedience_n than_o obedience_n yet_o the_o disobedience_n unto_o the_o positive_a law_n be_v no_o less_o heinous_a than_o that_o to_o the_o moral_a law_n because_o hereby_o man_n do_v profess_o acknowledge_v he_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o god_n even_o as_o a_o vassal_n that_o be_v to_o pay_v such_o homage_n a_o year_n if_o he_o wilful_o refuse_v it_o do_v yearly_o acknowledge_v his_o refractoriness_n hence_o the_o apostle_n do_v express_o call_v adam_n sin_n disobedience_n rom._n 5._o not_o in_o a_o general_a sense_n as_o every_o sin_n be_v disobedience_n but_o specifical_o it_o be_v strict_o take_v the_o sin_n of_o disobedience_n he_o do_v by_o that_o act_n cast_v off_o the_o dominion_n and_o power_n that_o god_n have_v over_o he_o as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lay_v and_o though_o pride_n and_o unbelief_n be_v in_o this_o sin_n yet_o this_o be_v proper_o his_o sin_n 3._o why_o god_n will_v make_v this_o law_n see_v he_o fore-knew_a his_o fall_n and_o obedience_n abuse_v of_o it_o for_o such_o be_v the_o profane_a boldness_n of_o many_o man_n that_o will_v have_v a_o reason_n of_o all_o god_n action_n whereas_o this_o be_v as_o aug._n if_o the_o owl_n will_v look_v into_o the_o sun_n or_o the_o

out_o of_o the_o scripture_n 2._o the_o second_o reason_n of_o calvin_n be_v that_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o privative_o angel_n be_v imperfect_a or_o not_o so_o perfect_a but_o that_o it_o need_v

the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v that_o the_o law_n doctr._n of_o god_n be_v such_o a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o life_n that_o christ_n add_v no_o new_a precept_n or_o duty_n unto_o it_o but_o even_o as_o the_o prophet_n before_o do_v only_o explicate_v the_o law_n when_o they_o press_v moral_a duty_n so_o also_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n when_o they_o urge_v man_n unto_o holy_a duty_n they_o be_v the_o same_o command_v heretofore_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o sacrament_n or_o the_o outward_a positive_a worship_n which_o be_v otherwise_o then_o be_v in_o the_o old-testament_n they_o have_v

the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o duty_n no_o specifical_a difference_n of_o the_o duty_n themselves_o and_o that_o this_o may_v appear_v the_o more_o to_o the_o dignity_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o law_n i_o will_v instance_n in_o particular_n first_o the_o law_n of_o god_n require_v the_o heart-worship_n and_o service_n that_o this_o may_v be_v understand_v take_v this_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n which_o be_v not_o deny_v by_o any_o that_o when_o there_o be_v any_o moral_a duty_n press_v in_o the_o old-testament_n the_o prophet_n do_v it_o as_o explainer_n of_o the_o law_n they_o do_v but_o unfold_v and_o draw_v out_o that_o arras_n which_o be_v fold_v together_o before_o this_o be_v premise_v then_o consider_v those_o place_n in_o the_o old-testament_n that_o call_v for_o the_o

without_o the_o heart_n and_o inward_a man_n be_v not_o regard_v god_n require_v then_o heart-prayer_n and_o heart_n humiliation_n it_o be_v true_a the_o people_n for_o the_o most_o part_n understand_v all_o carnal_o and_o gross_o think_v the_o outward_a duty_n command_v only_o and_o that_o be_v no_o marvel_n for_o do_v not_o people_n even_o in_o these_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n look_v to_o the_o external_a duty_n not_o examine_v whether_o they_o pray_v or_o humble_v themselves_o according_a as_o the_o word_n speak_v of_o such_o duty_n thus_o david_n be_v very_o sensible_a of_o his_o heart-neglect_n when_o he_o pray_v unite_v my_o heart_n to_o fear_v thy_o name_n and_o be_v not_o the_o people_n of_o god_n still_o under_o the_o same_o temptation_n they_o will_v pray_v they_o will_v humble_v themselves_o but_o oh_o how_o they_o want_v a_o heart_n that_o be_v so_o divide_a and_o distract_v that_o if_o after_o any_o duty_n we_o shall_v put_v that_o question_n to_o

their_o solemn_a duty_n make_v they_o abominable_a even_o like_o carrion_n and_o all_o because_o they_o do_v not_o wash_v they_o and_o make_v they_o clean_a so_o david_n say_v a_o break_a and_o contrite_a heart_n it_o be_v more_o than_o any_o burn_a offering_n now_o under_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o be_v a_o high_a duty_n and_o few_o reach_n unto_o it_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n reprove_v the_o corinthian_n for_o desire_v gift_n rather_o than_o grace_n and_o ability_n of_o part_n rather_o than_o holiness_n so_o that_o this_o be_v a_o excellent_a duty_n prescribe_v by_o god_n law_n that_o to_o be_v able_a to_o mortify_v our_o affection_n to_o have_v sanctify_a nature_n be_v more_o than_o to_o have_v seraphical_a knowledge_n and_o cherubinicall_a affection_n in_o any_o duty_n who_o then_o can_v be_v against_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n when_o it_o be_v such_o a_o excellent_a and_o pure_a rule_n hold_v forth_o such_o precious_a holiness_n faith_n 3._o it_o require_v all_o our_o duy_n to_o be_v do_v 1._o in_o faith_n for_o who_o can_v think_v that_o when_o god_n require_v in_o the_o first_o table_n have_v he_o for_o their_o god_n that_o hereby_o be_v

it_o be_v say_v of_o old_a etc._n etc._n because_o my_o purpose_n be_v to_o set_v forth_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n i_o shall_v therefore_o brief_o demonstrate_v in_o this_o present_a

of_o heart_n for_o because_o of_o these_o precept_n here_o not_o right_o understand_v the_o heathen_n take_v occasion_n to_o calumniate_v the_o christian_a religion_n as_o that_o which_o can_v not_o

command_n we_o may_v not_o resist_v evil_a but_o rather_o be_v prepare_v to_o receive_v more_o injury_n therefore_o no_o war_n no_o magistracy_n no_o place_n of_o judicature_n be_v lawful_a the_o father_n in_o their_o answer_n do_v seem_v to_o yield_v this_o only_o they_o say_v here_o be_v a_o lawful_a way_n and_o a_o better_a way_n to_o war_n or_o to_o take_v place_n of_o justice_n be_v

with_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n but_o i_o come_v to_o the_o particular_n and_o first_o whereas_o it_o be_v grant_v to_o be_v lawful_a by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n to_o swear_v now_o say_v some_o

james_n follow_v this_o of_o our_o saviour_n do_v the_o like_a hence_o their_o opinion_n be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o unlawful_a to_o swear_v false_o and_o vain_o but_o at_o all_o in_o any_o

see_v the_o learned_a show_n that_o some_o of_o the_o father_n of_o old_a have_v think_v it_o absolute_o unlawful_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o swear_v in_o eusebius_n one_o basilides_n a_o christian_a

to_o offer_v sacrifice_n unto_o god_n yet_o i_o can_v see_v but_o that_o they_o do_v swear_v also_o although_o sometime_o they_o speak_v as_o if_o they_o think_v there_o be_v a_o absolute_a

to_o swear_v in_o any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o or_o about_o any_o money_n matter_n and_o basil_n do_v object_n to_o the_o christian_n of_o his_o time_n the_o example_n of_o one_o clinius_n a_o
