man_n do_v illegal_o and_o unlawful_o break_v loose_a from_o the_o law_n which_o be_v their_o husband_n whilst_o he_o be_v yet_o alive_a and_o aught_o to_o have_v dominion_n over_o they_o and_o marry_v themselves_o to_o another_o husband_n which_o husband_n be_v name_n be_v carnal_a liberty_n or_o licentiousness_n too_o often_o miscall_v in_o these_o latter_a time_n by_o the_o name_n of_o christian_a liberty_n and_o such_o as_o these_o may_v well_o be_v style_v in_o the_o scripture-language_n adulterer_n and_o adulteress_n but_o there_o be_v another_o freedom_n from_o the_o law_n which_o be_v a_o due_a and_o just_a freedom_n when_o we_o do_v not_o make_v ourselves_o free_a before_o the_o time_n violent_o break_v loose_a from_o it_o but_o when_o we_o stay_v till_o the_o law_n which_o be_v our_o husband_n be_v dead_a and_o the_o compulsory_a power_n of_o it_o take_v away_o by_o the_o mortification_n of_o our_o lust_n and_o affection_n and_o so_o marry_v another_o husband_n which_o be_v christ_n or_o the_o spirit_n of_o righteousness_n rom._n 8._o 2._o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n have_v make_v i_o free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n wherefore_o there_o be_v three_o general_a state_n of_o man_n in_o order_n to_o god_n and_o religion_n that_o may_v be_v here_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o first_o be_v of_o those_o that_o be_v alive_a to_o sin_n and_o dead_a to_o the_o law_n this_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o rom._n 7._o 9_o i_o be_v alive_a without_o the_o law_n once_o these_o be_v those_o who_o conscience_n be_v not_o yet_o considerable_o awaken_v to_o any_o sense_n of_o their_o duty_n nor_o to_o the_o discrimination_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a but_o sin_n free_o without_o any_o check_n or_o control_v without_o any_o disquiet_v remorse_n of_o conscience_n the_o second_o be_v when_o man_n be_v at_o once_o alive_a both_o to_o the_o law_n and_o sin_n to_o the_o conviction_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o power_n and_o love_n of_o the_o other_o both_o these_o struggle_v together_o within_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o soul_n check_v and_o control_v one_o another_o this_o be_v a_o break_a confound_v and_o shatter_v state_n and_o these_o in_o the_o apostle_n language_n be_v say_v to_o be_v slay_v by_o the_o law_n i_o be_v alive_a without_o the_o law_n once_o but_o when_o the_o commandment_n come_v sin_n revive_v and_o i_o die_v and_o the_o commandment_n which_o be_v ordain_v to_o life_n i_o find_v to_o be_v unto_o death_n for_o sin_n take_v occasion_n by_o the_o commandment_n deceive_v i_o and_o by_o it_o slay_v i_o here_o be_v no_o peace_n rest_n nor_o comfort_n to_o be_v have_v in_o this_o state_n man_n soul_n be_v distract_v and_o divide_v by_o a_o intestine_a and_o civil_a war_n between_o the_o law_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o member_n conflict_v with_o one_o another_o wherefore_o the_o three_o state_n be_v when_o man_n be_v dead_a both_o to_o the_o law_n and_o sin_n and_o alive_a unto_o god_n and_o righteousness_n the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n free_v they_o from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n in_o the_o first_o of_o these_o three_o state_n which_o be_v the_o most_o wretched_a and_o deplorable_a of_o all_o we_o be_v sin_n be_v freeman_n that_o be_v free_a to_o commit_v sin_n without_o check_n or_o control_v in_o the_o second_o we_o be_v bondman_n to_o god_n and_o righteousness_n and_o serve_v god_n out_o of_o a_o principle_n of_o fear_n and_o according_a to_o a_o outward_a rule_n only_o child_n of_o hagar_n the_o bondmaid_n and_o of_o the_o letter_n in_o the_o three_o we_o be_v god_n freeman_n and_o son_n and_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o newness_n of_o the_o spirit_n out_o of_o a_o love_n to_o god_n and_o righteousness_n child_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o of_o sarah_n the_o freewoman_n wherefore_o here_o be_v two_o mistake_v or_o error_n to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o that_o defeat_n and_o disappoint_v the_o design_n of_o christ_n in_o give_v we_o victory_n over_o the_o law_n the_o first_o be_v of_o those_o that_o we_o have_v already_o mention_v that_o seek_v to_o themselves_o a_o freedom_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o law_n otherwise_o then_o by_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o righteousness_n namely_o in_o a_o way_n of_o carnal_a liberty_n and_o licentiousness_n whereby_o instead_o of_o be_v bondman_n to_o god_n and_o righteousness_n they_o become_v perfect_a freeman_n to_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n which_o be_v the_o most_o deplorable_a thraldom_n in_o the_o world_n wherefore_o these_o man_n instead_o of_o go_v forward_o from_o the_o second_o state_n unto_o high_a perfection_n wheel_n back_o again_o unto_o the_o first_o just_a as_o if_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n after_o they_o have_v be_v bring_v out_o of_o egypt_n and_o travel_v awhile_o in_o the_o desert_n of_o arabia_n where_o the_o law_n be_v give_v instead_o of_o enter_v into_o canaan_n shall_v have_v wheel_v back_o into_o egypt_n and_o then_o enjoy_v the_o garlic_n and_o onion_n and_o fleshpot_n thereof_o shall_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o true_a land_n of_o promise_n that_o flow_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n and_o there_o be_v very_o great_a danger_n lest_o when_o man_n have_v be_v tire_v out_o by_o wander_v a_o long_a time_n in_o the_o dry_a and_o barren_a wilderness_n of_o the_o law_n where_o they_o can_v enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n as_o former_o and_o yet_o have_v not_o arrive_v to_o the_o relish_n and_o love_n of_o righteousness_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o impatience_n they_o shall_v at_o last_o make_v more_o haste_n then_o good_a speed_n be_v seduce_v by_o some_o false_a show_n of_o freedom_n that_o be_v very_o tempt_v to_o such_o weary_a traveller_n and_o promise_v much_o comfort_n and_o refreshment_n to_o they_o invite_v they_o to_o sit_v down_o under_o their_o shadow_n such_o as_o be_v a_o self-chosen_a holiness_n ceremonial_a righteousness_n opinionative_n zeal_n the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n mistake_v for_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n high-flown_a enthusiasm_n and_o seraphicism_n epicurize_v philosophy_n antinomian_n liberty_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o free_a grace_n and_o a_o gospel-spirit_n the_o second_o mistake_n that_o be_v here_o to_o be_v heed_v be_v of_o those_o that_o will_v by_o all_o mean_n persuade_v themselves_o that_o there_o be_v no_o high_a state_n of_o christian_a perfection_n to_o be_v aim_v at_o or_o hope_v for_o in_o this_o life_n then_o this_o legal_a state_n that_o the_o good_a they_o will_v do_v they_o do_v not_o the_o evil_a they_o will_v not_o do_v that_o they_o do_v that_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n in_o their_o member_n still_o lead_v they_o captive_a from_o the_o law_n of_o their_o mind_n have_v no_o other_o ground_n at_o all_o for_o this_o but_o a_o novel_a interpretation_n of_o one_o paragraph_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n contrary_a to_o

gospel-faith_n to_o believe_v this_o which_o be_v indeed_o arrant_a infidelity_n and_o as_o if_o it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o presumption_n or_o impiety_n to_o expect_v a_o live_a law_n write_v upon_o our_o heart_n but_o this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o instead_o of_o seek_v liberty_n out_o of_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o law_n to_o fall_v in_o love_n with_o our_o bond_n and_o fetter_n and_o plain_o to_o deny_v the_o victory_n over_o the_o law_n by_o christ_n and_o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v but_o the_o ministration_n of_o a_o dead_a and_o kill_a letter_n not_o of_o the_o
