practice_n of_o the_o law_n all_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v well_o learn_v in_o this_o point_n chief_o those_o that_o be_v teacher_n of_o other_o that_o be_v to_o enlighten_v the_o world_n that_o they_o

of_o the_o law_n thou_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n but_o defile_v thy_o mind_n and_o conscience_n forasmuch_o as_o the_o gospel_n first_o of_o all_o destroy_v that_o opinion_n or_o if_o thou_o total_o lay_v aside_o the_o law_n as_o useless_a to_o a_o believer_n thou_o also_o defile_v thy_o foot_n because_o by_o that_o doctrine_n thou_o drive_v the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o sin_n out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o also_o all_o sensible_a need_n of_o a_o saviour_n every_o man_n have_v something_o yet_o to_o learn_v in_o this_o point_n the_o very_o best_a of_o all_o be_v too_o short_a in_o it_o how_o to_o perform_v this_o duty_n aright_o be_v a_o question_n make_v by_o the_o church_n in_o all_o age_n as_o in_o this_o place_n we_o see_v therefore_o all_o must_v be_v learner_n and_o all_o consist_v in_o two_o point_n how_o to_o be_v righteous_a before_o god_n and_o how_o to_o be_v righteous_a before_o man_n which_o that_o it_o may_v be_v learned_a and_o the_o way_n know_v how_o

be_v a_o rare_a and_o wonderful_a mystery_n which_o none_o can_v teach_v but_o christ_n alone_o in_o the_o preach_a of_o this_o point_n all_o man_n be_v at_o a_o loss_n until_o they_o be_v divine_o inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o for_o example_n st._n paul_n tell_v we_o in_o one_o text_n 3.28_o rom._n 3.28_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o

both_o to_o faith_n and_o also_o to_o the_o law_n i_o question_v then_o quest_n how_o faith_n and_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v separate_v in_o this_o point_n see_v justification_n be_v attribute_v to_o both_o some_o will_v answer_v ans_fw-fr that_o by_o do_v be_v mean_v sincerity_n which_o god_n accept_v of_o all_o though_o there_o be_v some_o want_n this_o be_v true_a after_o justification_n but_o this_o make_v no_o distinction_n between_o faith_n and_o the_o law_n in_o the_o former_a point_n but_o join_v they_o both_o together_o in_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n therefore_o sincerity_n be_v a_o term_n pertain_v to_o the_o law_n and_o prefer_v so_o high_a as_o to_o justify_v before_o god_n it_o must_v be_v perfect_a every_o way_n according_a to_o the_o law_n which_o perfection_n no_o man_n ever_o have_v but_o christ_n alone_o other_o say_v that_o god_n give_v a_o power_n with_o his_o command_n to_o enable_v those_o that_o be_v he_o to_o perform_v the_o law_n so_o that_o he_o accept_v of_o they_o in_o christ_n which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o by_o christ_n merit_n we_o have_v a_o infusion_n of_o grace_n whereby_o we_o deserve_v our_o justification_n which_o come_v to_o no_o more_o than_o the_o former_a now_o if_o no_o separation_n be_v make_v between_o faith_n and_o the_o law_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n they_o can_v be_v join_v together_o in_o doctrine_n without_o repugnancy_n forasmuch_o as_o no_o man_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n wherein_o he_o be_v want_v in_o many_o thing_n when_o it_o pronounce_v the_o curse_n upon_o

before_o god_n and_o also_o which_o be_v not_o understand_v do_v spoil_v he_o of_o his_o righteousness_n before_o man_n now_o our_o belove_a open_v when_o we_o begin_v to_o understand_v what_o true_a

for_o in_o this_o obedience_n thou_o work_v nothing_o but_o suffer_v thyself_o to_o be_v drive_v from_o the_o carnal_a bed_n to_o christ_n by_o faith_n in_o this_o sense_n the_o doer_n of_o the_o
