blind_a mathe._n what_o be_v their_o error_n phila._n 1._o that_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v of_o no_o use_n to_o believer_n not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o rule_n of_o life_n or_o examination_n and_o yet_o christ_n preach_v it_o and_o press_v it_o mat._n 5._o and_o more_o close_o than_o ever_o it_o be_v before_o even_o to_o rectify_v the_o spirit_n and_o passion_n as_o well_o as_o the_o outward_a manner_n so_o they_o say_v that_o it_o be_v as_o possible_a for_o christ_n to_o sin_n as_o a_o child_n of_o god_n but_o as_o christ_n do_v never_o sin_n so_o now_o be_v glorify_v it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v but_o we_o have_v sin_v and_o though_o regenerate_a yet_o so_o long_o as_o we_o carry_v about_o this_o body_n of_o flesh_n in_o some_o thing_n we_o shall_v offend_v but_o not_o to_o condemnation_n so_o they_o say_v that_o a_o child_n of_o god_n ought_v not_o to_o ask_v pardon_n for_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n so_o to_o do_v but_o i_o will_v trust_v christ_n before_o they_o who_o teach_v we_o to_o say_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n orat._n vid._n cypr._n in_o dom._n orat._n and_o will_v imitate_v david_n who_o do_v ask_v god_n forgiveness_n as_o you_o find_v psal_n 25._o and_o psal_n 51._o so_o they_o say_v god_n do_v not_o chasten_v any_o of_o his_o child_n for_o sin_n but_o yet_o sin_n be_v the_o move_a cause_n and_o subject_n of_o god_n punishment_n though_o not_o always_o the_o final_a cause_n of_o god_n chastisement_n but_o rather_o for_o probation_n of_o faith_n and_o patience_n if_o these_o doctrine_n be_v true_a these_o man_n may_v sin_v by_o authority_n and_o no_o conscience_n be_v make_v of_o sin_n who_o will_v deal_v with_o they_o but_o upon_o good_a security_n these_o doctrine_n open_v so_o easy_a a_o way_n to_o heaven_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n but_o they_o have_v many_o follower_n for_o they_o say_v that_o in_o conversion_n a_o man_n soul_n have_v no_o operation_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n only_o instead_o of_o they_o yet_o christ_n open_v his_o disciple_n understanding_n to_o apprehend_v the_o scripture_n luk._n 24.45_o so_o they_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v unite_v with_o christ_n

no_o notiee_n of_o sin_n or_o repentance_n yet_o david_n do_v psal_n 51._o also_o that_o it_o be_v a_o damnable_a error_n to_o make_v sanctification_n a_o evidence_n of_o justification_n yet_o st_n

christ_n yet_o paul_n call_v it_o a_o schoolmaster_n to_o that_o purpose_n 2._o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v without_o faith_n and_o that_o from_o eternity_n yet_o paul_n say_v we_o be_v justify_v

ourselves_o to_o god_n rom._n 12.1_o and_o say_v that_o we_o work_v together_o with_o god_n 4._o that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o christ_n till_o he_o have_v full_a assurance_n yet_o david_n sometime_o be_v beside_o the_o rock_n psal_n 41._o and_o paul_n be_v buffet_v 2_o cor._n 12._o and_o 5._o that_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v without_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o word_n or_o concurrence_n with_o it_o but_o then_o how_o shall_v i_o try_v the_o spirit_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a paul_n say_v believe_v not_o every_o spirit_n than_o i_o must_v try_v it_o or_o else_o believe_v it_o or_o censure_v it_o without_o trial_n and_o if_o i_o must_v try_v it_o i_o must_v have_v a_o rule_n to_o try_v it_o by_o and_o that_o must_v be_v the_o word_n or_o nothing_o 6._o when_o a_o man_n have_v this_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o never_o doubt_v yet_o david_n do_v psal_n 37._o psal_n 71._o and_o 7._o assurance_n must_v not_o be_v question_v though_o one_o commit_v murder_n or_o adultery_n yet_o david_n pray_v for_o the_o spirit_n after_o those_o sin_n commit_v psal_n 51._o this_o doctrine_n will_v make_v a_o bold_a sinner_n and_o a_o presumptuous_a insurer_n of_o himself_o so_o 8._o they_o say_v that_o sanctification_n be_v no_o evidence_n of_o a_o man_n good_a estate_n yet_o paul_n say_v that_o holiness_n be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o call_n and_o if_o so_o then_o holiness_n be_v a_o evidence_n that_o i_o be_o effectual_o call_v 9_o they_o say_v that_o to_o see_v i_o have_v no_o grace_n will_v give_v i_o comfort_n yet_o st_n paul_n find_v no_o comfort_n see_v in_o his_o flesh_n he_o find_v no_o good_a thing_n but_o rather_o cry_v out_o upon_o himself_o o_o miserable_a man_n rom._n 7._o yea_o they_o say_v to_o take_v comfort_n at_o the_o sight_n of_o any_o grace_n be_v legal_a and_o yet_o grace_n come_v not_o by_o the_o law_n john_n 1._o but_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o it_o be_v evangelical_a to_o find_v gospel_n grace_n in_o we_o and_o to_o take_v comfort_n in_o it_o 10._o they_o say_v that_o a_o hypocrite_n may_v have_v the_o same_o grace_n that_o adam_n have_v in_o his_o innocency_n yet_o most_o conclude_v that_o adam_n be_v create_v in_o god_n image_n which_o consist_v in_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n which_o two_o quality_n no_o hypocrite_n can_v have_v so_o 11._o they_o say_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o hypocrite_n yet_o job_n say_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n be_v like_o the_o web_n of_o the_o spider_n spin_v out_o of_o their_o own_o fantasy_n and_o easy_o remove_v so_o be_v not_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o saint_n for_o it_o be_v weave_v out_o of_o god_n promise_n which_o make_v the_o saint_n so_o settle_v upon_o a_o everlasting_a foundation_n so_o 12._o they_o say_v that_o all_o grace_n be_v in_o christ_n as_o in_o the_o proper_a subject_n of_o it_o and_o that_o we_o have_v none_o in_o we_o as_o if_o christ_n believe_v and_o christ_n love_v for_o we_o 1.5_o 2_o tim._n 1.5_o yet_o paul_n find_v faith_n in_o timothy_n and_o christ_n suppose_v love_n to_o be_v in_o his_o disciple_n when_o he_o say_v if_o you_o love_v i_o keep_v my_o commandment_n john_n 14.15_o so_o 13._o they_o say_v christ_n be_v the_o new_a creature_n yet_o paul_n say_v 5.17_o 2_o cor._n 5.17_o he_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n be_v a_o new_a creature_n so_o 14._o they_o hold_v that_o god_n love_v a_o man_n never_o the_o more_o for_o his_o holiness_n nor_o the_o less_o for_o his_o wickedness_n but_o moses_n tell_v we_o otherwise_o say_v god_n have_v respect_n to_o abel_n offering_n not_o to_o cain_n so_o 15._o that_o sin_n in_o a_o child_n of_o god_n must_v not_o trouble_v he_o but_o sure_o then_o david_n may_v have_v save_v much_o sorrow_n express_v in_o his_o penitential_a psalm_n and_o christ_n affirmation_n of_o the_o angel_n rejoice_v at_o a_o sinner_n repent_v may_v be_v dis-believed_n for_o they_o rejoice_v not_o at_o our_o do_v amiss_o so_o 16._o trouble_v of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n show_v one_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n yet_o paul_n commend_v godly_a sorrow_n in_o the_o corinthian_n 7.9_o 2_o cor._n 7.9_o who_o be_v believer_n but_o what_o if_o such_o trouble_n of_o mind_n do_v argue_v one_o sometime_o under_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n or_o the_o law_n of_o work_n yet_o this_o may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o make_v we_o sigh_v the_o more_o after_o freedom_n and_o do_v common_o bring_v his_o child_n to_o zion_n by_o sinai_n to_o freedom_n by_o bondage_n rom._n 8.15_o so_o 17._o they_o say_v a_o christian_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o take_v the_o law_n as_o a_o rule_n of_o his_o conversation_n but_o why_o do_v not_o then_o christ_n abolish_v the_o law_n as_o well_o as_o

so_o his_o purity_n show_v his_o will_n be_v bend_v to_o love_v holiness_n but_o to_o hate_v all_o filthiness_n both_o of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n 4._o his_o power_n show_v that_o he_o be_v infinite_o endow_v with_o efficacious_a faculty_n to_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v for_o there_o be_v no_o limit_n to_o his_o power_n but_o his_o will_n therefore_o we_o can_v doubt_v of_o his_o promise_n or_o
