the_o child_n of_o god_n will_v you_o become_v enemy_n to_o your_o own_o good_a fortune_n will_v you_o imitate_v the_o ingratitude_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o envy_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o synagogue_n who_o instead_o of_o receive_v he_o as_o the_o person_n promise_v by_o all_o the_o prophet_n instead_o of_o acknowledge_v that_o

where_o no_o thing_n remain_v in_o he_o of_o the_o old_a adam_n be_v now_o perfect_o a_o new_a man_n this_o state_n be_v no_o less_o durable_a then_o glorious_a for_o jesus_n christ_n have_v once_o die_v he_o die_v no_o more_o he_o shall_v never_o return_v to_o corruption_n as_o the_o same_o psalmist_n foretell_v by_o these_o word_n thou_o will_v not_o permit_v that_o thy_o holy_a one_o see_v

subject_n to_o corruption_n after_o that_o god_n have_v raise_v he_o again_o you_o must_v know_v that_o it_o be_v by_o he_o alone_a remission_n of_o sin_n be_v give_v nor_o be_v it_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n the_o blood_n of_o goat_n and_o bull_n be_v but_o a_o figure_n of_o that_o which_o he_o spill_v to_o take_v away_o all_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o world_n but_o now_o verity_n drive_v away_o figure_n and_o the_o light_a darkness_n we_o now_o announce_v no_o more_o unto_o you_o a_o legal_a justice_n but_o a_o christian_a justice_n a_o interior_a justice_n a_o justice_n before_o god_n a_o justice_n which_o glorify_v god_n and_o not_o man_n who_o possess_v it_o because_o it_o come_v from_o god_n who_o infuse_v it_o into_o man_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o spirit_n if_o the_o law_n can_v have_v give_v true_a justice_n jesus_n christ_n have_v die_v in_o vain_a therefore_o think_v no_o more_o of_o establish_v your_o justice_n by_o a_o proud_a opinion_n of_o the_o value_n of_o your_o work_n as_o if_o they_o be_v holy_a or_o that_o their_o sanctity_n proceed_v from_o you_o or_o from_o the_o law_n your_o action_n may_v have_v the_o appearance_n of_o goodness_n as_o do_v in_o exterior_a obedience_n to_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n you_o may_v practice_v that_o which_o it_o ordain_v and_o abstain_v from_o that_o which_o it_o forbid_v and_o live_v after_o this_o manner_n you_o be_v just_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n and_o you_o deserve_v to_o receive_v praise_n from_o they_o but_o god_n do_v not_o judge_v according_a to_o appearance_n he_o regard_v not_o simple_o the_o action_n which_o be_v do_v but_o how_o it_o be_v do_v by_o what_o motive_n we_o do_v it_o and_o for_o what_o end_n if_o we_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o need_n but_o of_o our_o own_o proper_a force_n if_o only_o to_o please_v man_n we_o do_v good_a if_o only_o out_o of_o a_o servile_a fear_n of_o punishment_n which_o the_o law_n ordain_v we_o observe_v that_o law_n sure_o we_o be_v guilty_a in_o the_o secret_a of_o our_o heart_n though_o exterior_o we_o appear_v innocent_a for_o if_o we_o examine_v well_o our_o inclination_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o we_o shall_v do_v evil_a and_o omit_v the_o do_n of_o what_o be_v good_a if_o it_o may_v be_v do_v without_o punishment_n while_o we_o act_v thus_o god_n be_v not_o regard_v by_o we_o nor_o be_v we_o touch_v with_o any_o love_n towards_o he_o we_o consider_v he_o rather_o a_o tyrant_n from_o who_o yoke_n we_o desire_v to_o be_v free_v and_o which_o we_o bear_v with_o pain_n and_o contradiction_n than_o a_o most_o love_a father_n and_o a_o lawful_a master_n who_o be_v ever_o obey_v with_o delight_n it_o be_v in_o this_o last_o quality_n we_o ought_v to_o serve_v he_o for_o we_o have_v not_o receive_v a_o spirit_n of_o fear_n and_o servitude_n but_o a_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n which_o empower_v we_o to_o call_v god_n our_o father_n and_o as_o his_o child_n to_o hope_v for_o the_o possession_n of_o his_o inheritance_n now_o we_o must_v not_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o we_o can_v deceive_v he_o for_o he_o read_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o our_o conscience_n and_o see_v clear_o that_o which_o we_o hide_v to_o other_o he_o know_v whether_o we_o seek_v he_o or_o ourselves_o whether_o in_o he_o or_o in_o we_o whether_o in_o his_o grace_n or_o the_o law_n we_o place_v our_o confidence_n when_o we_o expect_v from_o he_o by_o jesus_n christ_n all_o our_o force_n and_o follow_v his_o design_n we_o go_v unto_o he_o by_o the_o law_n to_o the_o end_n he_o himself_o may_v work_v in_o we_o and_o by_o we_o that_o which_o can_v not_o be_v do_v by_o its_o imbicility_n in_o order_n to_o the_o cure_n of_o these_o wound_n which_o it_o discover_v to_o we_o and_o to_o the_o acquisition_n of_o strength_n to_o overcome_v the_o sin_n which_o it_o condemn_v then_o i_o say_v we_o work_v in_o holiness_n and_o our_o work_n be_v the_o work_n of_o light_n but_o when_o we_o act_v otherwise_o we_o render_v ourselves_o worthy_a of_o his_o malediction_n and_o seek_v after_o justice_n even_o when_o we_o think_v to_o have_v find_v it_o we_o go_v further_o from_o it_o concupiscence_n reign_v in_o we_o with_o more_o tyranny_n and_o we_o find_v that_o the_o law_n enkindle_v and_o revive_v it_o more_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o corruption_n by_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o state_n of_o sin_n which_o make_v that_o prohibition_n stir_v up_o our_o desire_n and_o render_v we_o unable_a to_o support_v any_o yoke_n but_o that_o of_o self-love_n we_o think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v in_o good_a health_n when_o we_o have_v poison_n at_o our_o heart_n we_o imagine_v that_o we_o have_v raise_v a_o great_a building_n when_o we_o have_v fail_v in_o the_o foundation_n in_o a_o word_n we_o think_v to_o have_v deserve_v crown_n of_o honour_n when_o indeed_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o grievous_a punishment_n do_v not_o then_o despise_v the_o gospel_n which_o discover_v to_o you_o so_o important_a veriety_n and_o take_v heed_n lest_o it_o happen_v to_o you_o as_o one_o of_o the_o prophet_n say_v you_o that_o mock_v see_v and_o behold_v and_o be_v trouble_v and_o just_o loose_v yourselves_o behold_v in_o your_o day_n i_o work_v a_o work_n that_o you_o will_v not_o believe_v when_o it_o shall_v be_v recount_v to_o you_o thus_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o the_o synagogue_n those_o who_o be_v jew_n in_o religion_n but_o not_o by_o birth_n be_v much_o take_v with_o his_o doctrine_n and_o with_o this_o eloquence_n which_o be_v not_o like_a that_o of_o profane_a orator_n
