wherein_o two_o error_n be_v commit_v by_o the_o jesuite_n 1_o in_o that_o he_o make_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o be_v such_o strength_n give_v to_o man_n that_o thereby_o he_o

the_o spirit_n in_o any_o measure_n whatsoever_o of_o his_o sanctify_a grace_n be_v from_o christ_n as_o a_o saviour_n not_o as_o a_o lawgiver_n thus_o when_o we_o agree_v that_o all_o grace_n to_o do_v well_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o gospel_n but_o next_o we_o differ_v they_o teach_v that_o the_o gospel_n gie_n such_o grace_n unto_o man_n that_o he_o may_v fulfil_v what_o the_o law_n

hold_v they_o in_o bondage_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o gospel_n be_v the_o ministry_n of_o life_n of_o reconciliation_n of_o the_o quicken_a spirit_n and_o of_o liberty_n because_o it_o

to_o come_v unto_o liberty_n be_v free_v from_o slavish_a fear_n of_o punishment_n this_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n of_o this_o opposition_n of_o attribute_n second_o the_o next_o be_v in_o regard_n of_o obedience_n in_o which_o respect_n the_o ministry_n of_o the_o law_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o letter_n write_v in_o tabel_n of_o stone_n but_o that_o of_o the_o gospel_n

be_v this_o moses_n deliver_v a_o twofold_a law_n moral_a and_o ceremonial_a opposite_a to_o these_o christ_n have_v bring_v a_o twofold_a privilege_n grace_n for_o the_o moral_a law_n whereby_o we_o

remission_n of_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o law_n and_o so_o our_o justification_n and_o freedom_n

from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o course_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n second_o truth_n for_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n the_o substance_n be_v bring_v in_o and_o the_o shadow_n vanish_v wherefore_o the_o jesuite_n err_v great_o in_o this_o point_n when_o he_o make_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o strength_n be_v thereby_o give_v we_o to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o gospel_n be_v chief_o our_o justification_n and_o redemption_n from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n strength_n afford_v we_o to_o obey_v the_o law_n in_o some_o measure_n not_o perfect_o as_o our_o adversary_n will_v have_v it_o in_o the_o next_o point_n he_o err_v as_o much_o in_o say_v that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v giveu_o without_o grace_n to_o obey_v it_o a_o false_a assertion_n for_o although_o the_o law_n of_o itself_o give_v not_o grace_n yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o grace_n be_v give_v by_o christ_n even_o then_o when_o moses_n publish_v the_o law_n sufficient_a for_o the_o proof_n hereof_o be_v 1_o these_o excellent_a property_n ascribe_v unto_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o in_o other_o
