and_o hereof_o we_o have_v speak_v large_o before_o the_o four_o chapter_n verse_n 1._o this_o i_o say_v that_o the_o heir_n as_o long_o as_o he_o be_v a_o child_n differ_v nothing_o from_o a_o

in_o wait_n with_o a_o certain_a holy_a subtlety_n to_o take_v the_o galathians_n unwares_o for_o the_o ignorant_a people_n be_v soon_o persuade_v with_o similitude_n and_o example_n then_o with_o

the_o prophet_n &_o christ_n himself_o also_o do_v often_o use_v you_o see_v say_v he_o that_o it_o be_v ordain_v by_o the_o civil_a law_n that_o a_o heir_n albeit_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o all_o his_o father_n good_n differ_v not_o from_o a_o servant_n in_o deed_n he_o have_v a_o assure_a hope_n of_o the_o inheritance_n but_o before_o he_o come_v to_o his_o year_n his_o tutor_n hold_v he_o

that_o he_o be_v keep_v and_o maintain_v with_o his_o own_o good_n like_o a_o servant_n therefore_o so_o long_o as_o this_o bondage_n endure_v that_o be_v so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v under_o tutor_n and_o governor_n he_o differ_v nothing_o from_o a_o servant_n and_o this_o subjection_n and_o servitude_n be_v very_o profitable_a for_o he_o for_o otherwise_o through_o folly_n he_o will_v soon_o

we_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v child_n be_v in_o bondage_n under_o the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n in_o like_a manner_n when_o we_o be_v little_a child_n we_o be_v heir_n have_v the_o promise_n

even_o so_o moses_n do_v nourish_v we_o with_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o promise_n to_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o time_n appoint_v to_o wit_n when_o christ_n shall_v come_v who_o by_o his_o come_n

they_o have_v christ_n in_o spirit_n they_o believe_v in_o christ_n which_o shall_v be_v reveal_v as_o we_o believe_v in_o christ_n which_o be_v now_o reveal_v and_o be_v save_v by_o he_o as_o we_o be_v according_a to_o that_o say_n ●_o jesus_n christ_n be_v one_o yesterday_o and_o to_o day_n and_o shall_v be_v the_o same_o for_o ever_o yesterday_o before_o the_o time_n of_o his_o come_n in_o

all_o the_o faithful_a which_o either_o have_v be_v be_v or_o shall_v be_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o law_n justify_v and_o save_v in_o like_a manner_n we_o also_o say_v he_o when_o we_o be_v child_n serve_v under_o the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o law_n have_v dominion_n over_o we_o oppress_v we_o and_o keep_v we_o in_o a_o streite_z bondage_n as_o servant_n and_o captive_n for_o first_o it_o restrain_v carnal_a and_o rebellious_a person_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o run_v headlong_o into_o all_o kind_n of_o vice_n for_o the_o law_n threaten_v punishment_n to_o

again_o it_o do_v accuse_v we_o terrify_v we_o kill_v we_o la_o and_o condemn_v we_o spiritual_o and_o before_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o principal_a dominion_n that_o the_o law_n have_v over_o we_o therefore_o like_a as_o a_o heir_n be_v subject_a unto_o his_o tutor_n be_v beat_v and_o be_v compel_v to_o obey_v their_o law_n and_o diligent_o to_o execute_v their_o commandment_n even_o so_o

but_o this_o dominion_n or_o rather_o this_o tyranny_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o continual_a but_o must_v only_o endure_v until_o the_o time_n of_o grace_n wherefore_o the_o office_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o reprove_v and_o to_o increase_v sin_n but_o to_o righteousness_n to_o kill_v but_o to_o life_n for_o the_o law_n be_v a_o schoolmaster_n unto_o christ_n ●_o like_a as_o therefore_o the_o tutor_n do_v handle_v the_o heir_n be_v yet_o a_o child_n streit_o and_o hardly_o rule_v he_o and_o command_v he_o as_o a_o servant_n and_o he_o again_o be_v constrain_v to_o be_v subject_a unto_o they_o even_o so_o the_o law_n accuse_v we_o humble_v we_o and_o bring_v we_o into_o bondage_n that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o servant_n of_o sin_n death_n and_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n
of_o our_o neighbour_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o may_v be_v righteous_a in_o this_o life_n also_o 1●_o we_o have_v christ_n the_o mercy_n seat_n and_o throne_n of_o grace_n and_o because_o we_o believe_v in_o he_o sin_n be_v not_o impute_v unto_o we_o faith_n therefore_o be_v our_o righteousness_n in_o this_o life_n but_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v when_o we_o shall_v be_v thorough_o cleanse_v and_o deliver_v from_o all_o sin_n and_o concupiscence_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o need_n of_o faith_n and_o hope_n but_o we_o shall_v then_o love_v perfect_o it_o be_v a_o great_a error_n therefore_o to_o attribute_v justification_n or_o righteousness_n to_o love_n which_o be_v nothing_o or_o if_o it_o be_v any_o thing_n god._n yet_o be_v it_o not_o so_o great_a that_o it_o can_v pacify_v god_n for_o love_n even_o in_o the_o faithful_a as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v imperfect_a and_o impure_a 21.27_o but_o no_o unclean_a thing_n shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n notwithstanding_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o this_o trust_n and_o confidence_n sustain_v we_o that_o christ_n 3.2_o who_o a_o lonely_a commit_v no_o sin_n and_o in_o who_o mouth_n be_v never_o find_v any_o guile_n do_v overshadow_v we_o with_o his_o righteousness_n we_o be_v cover_v with_o this_o 13.21_o cloud_n and_o shroud_v under_o this_o shadow_n this_o heaven_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n &_o throne_n of_o grace_n do_v begin_v to_o love_n and_o to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n yet_o for_o this_o fulfil_n we_o be_v not_o justify_v nor_o accept_v of_o god_n while_o we_o live_v here_o but_o when_o christ_n have_v deliver_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o god_n his_o father_n &_o abolish_v all_o principality_n and_o god_n shall_v be_v all_o in_o all_o then_o shall_v faith_n and_o hope_n cease_v and_o love_n shall_v be_v perfect_a and_o everlasting_a 1._o cor._n 13._o 13.12_o this_o thing_n the_o popish_a schoolman_n understand_v not_o and_o therefore_o when_o they_o hear_v that_o love_n be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n by_o and_o by_o they_o infer_v ergo_fw-la the_o law_n justify_v or_o contrariwise_o when_o they_o read_v in_o paul_n that_o faith_n make_v a_o man_n righteous_a yea_o say_v they_o faith_n form_v and_o furnish_v with_o charity_n but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o paul_n righteousness_n as_o i_o have_v large_o declare_v before_o if_o we_o be_v pure_a from_o all_o sin_n and_o be_v inflame_v with_o perfect_a love_n both_o towards_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n then_o shall_v we_o in_o deed_n be_v righteous_a and_o holy_a through_o love_n and_o god_n can_v require_v no_o more_o of_o we_o this_o be_v not_o do_v in_o this_o present_a life_n but_o be_v differ_v until_o the_o life_n to_o come_v 1.23_o in_o deed_n we_o receive_v here_o the_o gift_n and_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o that_o we_o begin_v to_o love_v howbeit_o very_o slender_o but_o if_o we_o love_v god_n true_o and_o perfect_o as_o the_o law_n of_o god_n require_v which_o say_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n 10.27_o with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o strength_n then_o shall_v we_o be_v as_o well_o content_v with_o poverty_n as_o with_o wealth_n with_o pain_n as_o with_o pleasure_n &_o with_o life_n as_o with_o death_n love_n yea_o he_o that_o can_v love_v

so_o corrupt_a and_o drown_v in_o sin_n that_o it_o can_v not_o have_v any_o right_a sense_n or_o cogitation_n of_o god_n it_o love_v not_o god_n but_o hate_v he_o deadly_a 4.4.5_o wherefore_o as_o john_n say_v we_o love_v not_o god_n but_o he_o love_v we_o &_o send_v his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o reconciliation_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o as_o paul_n say_v before_o in_o the_o second_o chap_n christ_n

spirit_n for_o i_o know_v that_o you_o shall_v not_o fulfil_v the_o law_n because_o sin_n dwell_v in_o you_o as_o long_o as_o you_o live_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o you_o shall_v

follow_v spiritual_a motion_n etc_n etc_n it_o appear_v then_o that_o he_o have_v not_o forget_v the_o matter_n of_o iustifition_n for_o when_o he_o bid_v they_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n he_o plain_o deny_v that_o work_n do_v justify_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v when_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o fulfil_v of_o the_o law_n i_o mean_v not_o that_o you_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n but_o this_o i_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v two_o contrary_a captain_n in_o you_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o flesh_n god_n have_v stir_v up_o in_o your_o body_n a_o strife_n and_o a_o battle_n for_o the_o spirit_n wrestle_v against_o the_o flesh_n 5.17_o &_o the_o flesh_n against_o the_o spirit_n here_o i_o require_v nothing_o else_o of_o you_o but_o that_o you_o follow_v the_o spirit_n as_o your_o

therefore_o when_o i_o teach_v you_o to_o observe_v the_o law_n and_o exhort_v you_o to_o love_v one_o a_o other_o think_v not_o that_o i_o go_v about_o to_o revoke_v that_o which_o i_o have_v teach_v concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o now_o i_o attribute_v justification_n to_o the_o law_n or_o to_o charity_n but_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o you_o shall_v walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n paul_n use_v very_o fit_a word_n and_o to_o the_o purpose_n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v we_o come_v not_o yet_o to_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o we_o must_v walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v exercise_v therein_o that_o we_o may_v think_v say_v and_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o the_o spirit_n and_o resist_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o he_o add_v verse_n 16._o and_o you_o shall_v not_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v godly_a the_o desire_n or_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o yet_o dead_a in_o we_o but_o spring_v up_o again_o and_o fight_v against_o the_o spirit_n the_o flesh_n of_o no_o faithful_a man_n be_v so_o good_a which_o be_v offend_v will_v not_o bite_v and_o devour_v or_o at_o the_o least_o omit_v somewhat_o of_o that_o commandment_n of_o love_n yea_o even_o at_o the_o first_o brunt_n he_o can_v not_o refrain_v himself_o but_o be_v angry_a with_o his_o neighbour_n desire_v to_o be_v revenge_v and_o hate_v he_o as_o a_o enemy_n or_o at_o the_o least_o love_v he_o not_o so_o much_o as_o he_o shall_v do_v and_o as_o this_o commandment_n require_v and_o this_o happen_v even_o to_o the_o faithful_a therefore_o the_o apostle_n have_v give_v this_o rule_n for_o the_o faithful_a that_o they_o shall_v serve_v one_o a_o other_o through_o love_n that_o they_o shall_v bear_v the_o burden_n and_o infirmity_n one_o of_o a_o
