thus_o look_v to_o who_o the_o latter_a testament_n of_o the_o law_n be_v give_v unto_o they_o be_v the_o first_o covenant_n or_o testament_n of_o grace_n give_v now_o the_o latter_a testament_n or_o

therefore_o to_o they_o also_o be_v the_o former_a testament_n or_o promise_n give_v that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o discern_v the_o force_n of_o this_o reason_n consider_v how_o the_o apostle_n in_o treat_v of_o justification_n deliver_v this_o heavenly_a doctrine_n that_o a_o sinner_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o in_o christ_n without_o work_n now_o he_o make_v a_o objection_n true_a may_v some_o say_v before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n justification_n be_v by_o free_a promise_n but_o when_o the_o law_n be_v give_v then_o there_o be_v another_o way_n of_o justification_n

of_o the_o law_n here_o be_v the_o force_n of_o the_o objection_n now_o if_o we_o shall_v conceive_v the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o one_o seed_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n give_v to_o another_o and_o not_o both_o of_o they_o to_o the_o same_o seed_n than_o there_o be_v no_o colour_n of_o reason_n in_o the_o apostle_n objection_n for_o if_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n be_v give_v to_o one_o seed_n of_o abraham_n that_o be_v to_o christ_n personal_a and_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n give_v to_o another_o seed_n than_o one_o need_v not_o disannul_v the_o other_o but_o they_o may_v both_o stand_v together_o for_o if_o a_o man_n make_v two_o different_a covenant_n with_o two_o several_a person_n they_o may_v both_o stand_v the_o one_o not_o impeach_v the_o other_o but_o here_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o objection_n that_o it_o be_v suppose_v that_o the_o two_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o the_o same_o person_n and_o then_o there_o be_v some_o seem_a appearance_n of_o one_o disannul_v the_o other_o therefore_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o objection_n infer_v clear_o that_o both_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n and_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n be_v make_v to_o the_o same_o person_n to_o abraham_n seed_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a which_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n thus_o this_o objection_n be_v answer_v and_o the_o doctrine_n confirm_v that_o whatsoever_o salvation_n etc._n etc._n use_v 1_o to_o let_v we_o sâ—e_v the_o abundant_a grace_n and_o kindness_n of_o god_n to_o we_o poor_a captives_n vassal_n wretched_a &_o undo_v
