for_o myself_o as_o in_o a_o low_a and_o humble_a capacity_n yet_o have_v appear_v as_o a_o reconciler_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o dr._n crisp_n not_o to_o come_v forth_o as_o

in_o that_o discourse_n to_o their_o principal_n and_o to_o prune_n what_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v so_o reconcilable_a that_o the_o whole_a may_v be_v see_v in_o its_o order_n and_o beauty_n and_o herein_o i_o labour_v to_o avoid_v not_o personal_a reflection_n i_o be_o out_o of_o the_o temptation_n of_o they_o where_o i_o profess_v honour_n and_o esteem_v only_o but_o of_o any_o aculeate_a animadversion_n on_o or_o encounter_v with_o particular_a expression_n wherein_o the_o fundamental_a interest_n of_o truth_n be_v not_o lodge_v or_o concern_v but_o i_o have_v set_v myself_o to_o

while_o there_o be_v just_a room_n and_o scope_n yet_o leave_v for_o all_o those_o scriptural_a expatiation_n into_o instruction_n exhortation_n expostulation_n reproof_n as_o method_n of_o

undertake_v to_o conciliate_v they_o unto_o this_o i_o have_v endeavour_v in_o the_o most_o plain_a and_o perspicuous_a method_n and_o so_o that_o whatever_o may_v appear_v in_o mr._n william_n book_n of_o a_o contrary_a sentiment_n and_o inclination_n may_v be_v comprehend_v so_o as_o to_o be_v resolve_v in_o some_o case_n of_o doubt_n in_o other_o foreprize_v or_o guard_v against_o not_o to_o

make_v a_o essay_n upon_o that_o noble_a point_n of_o debate_n how_o far_o the_o law_n upon_o its_o own_o authority_n necessary_o and_o indispensible_o fall_v in_o with_o ratify_v and_o confirm_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o how_o far_o the_o gospel_n find_v necessary_a to_o itself_o and_o to_o its_o great_a end_n not_o to_o make_v void_a but_o to_o establish_v the_o law_n and_o whether_o upon_o all_o this_o the_o gospel_n can_v by_o itself_o be_v proper_o style_v a_o law_n which_o i_o on_o great_a reason_n make_v out_o in_o the_o negative_a 3._o i_o have_v offer_v great_a proof_n that_o the_o faith_n repentance_n sanctification_n and_o good_a work_v the_o gospel_n require_v can_v be_v just_o deem_v or_o take_v for_o condition_n or_o qualification_n but_o be_v efflux_n as_o from_o elect_v love_n and_o grace_n so_o from_o the_o righteousness_n and_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o victorious_a resurrection_n through_o which_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v give_v and_o be_v as_o free_v as_o election_n and_o justification_n themselves_o when_o they_o be_v consider_v in_o strict_a relation_n to_o the_o elect_n however_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o non-elect_a or_o as_o general_o speak_v of_o they_o may_v put_v on_o such_o notion_n or_o representation_n as_o of_o condition_n or_o qualification_n 4._o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o illustrate_v the_o procedure_n of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n to_o be_v so_o describe_v in_o scripture_n that_o the_o primary_n and_o supreme_a representation_n and_o that_o subordinate_a all_o other_o to_o themselves_o be_v most_o exact_o agreeable_a to_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n not_o as_o a_o law_n nor_o require_v any_o qualification_n or_o condition_n with_o relation_n to_o the_o elect_n but_o as_o glorious_o appear_v with_o its_o own_o product_n and_o effect_v as_o it_o shall_v be_v make_v to_o appear_v the_o glorious_a gospel_n of_o the_o bless_a god_n and_o by_o the_o appearance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n with_o his_o saint_n in_o who_o he_o will_v be_v glorify_v and_o admire_v at_o that_o day_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o and_o see_v i_o direct_v this_o conciliatory_a discourse_n to_o they_o who_o i_o suppose_v to_o acknowledge_v with_o i_o a_o election_n of_o a_o certrin_n number_n to_o salvation_n and_o glory_n i_o make_v this_o appeal_n to_o they_o be_v there_o not_o in_o scripture_n high_a assertion_n of_o eternal_a love_n and_o grace_n independent_a upon_o qualification_n and_o condition_n in_o they_o who_o shall_v be_v make_v partaker_n do_v not_o all_o stand_n in_o a_o frame_n and_o connexion_n election_n call_v justification_n wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n all_o as_o free_v and_o as_o certain_a the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o it_o be_v true_a the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n have_v so_o contrive_v and_o order_v this_o preach_v the_o gospel_n that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v publish_v promiscuous_o to_o the_o non_fw-la elect_v with_o the_o elect_n and_o as_o i_o may_v say_v to_o probe_n for_o the_o elect_n and_o to_o draw_v they_o out_o with_o efficacy_n and_o power_n by_o the_o spirit_n join_v with_o the_o word_n it_o be_v also_o most_o true_a these_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o particular_a person_n but_o as_o ●●●●●ing_a grace_n single_v they_o out_o by_o call_v sprinkle_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n on_o their_o heart_n and_o sanctification_n but_o they_o be_v always_o true_a concern_v the_o whole_a number_n and_o body_n and_o so_o concern_v every_o single_a person_n and_o they_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v open_o assert_v and_o maintain_v in_o doctrine_n and_o also_o to_o be_v offer_v in_o preach_v and_o publication_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o occasion_n require_v to_o invite_v and_o draw_v soul_n by_o so_o free_a absolute_a and_o independent_a a_o grace_n declare_v to_o lose_a man_n in_o all_o the_o election_n of_o god_n and_o who_o know_v but_o it_o may_v draw_v this_o and_o that_o particular_a person_n in_o a_o congregation_n and_o therefore_o with_o great_a hope_n of_o a_o divine_a co-operation_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o other_o truth_n promulge_v and_o i_o doubt_v not_o when_o god_n open_v the_o mouth_n of_o his_o servant_n in_o the_o bold_a and_o frank_a declaration_n of_o truth_n as_o he_o will_v when_o the_o as_o it_o be_v new_a

there_o be_v undeniable_o many_o great_a scripture_n that_o set_v out_o the_o free_a most_o absolute_a and_o independent_a grace_n throughout_o our_o salvation_n from_o first_o to_o last_o as_o pattern_n or_o exemplar_n of_o all_o scripture_n such_o

law_n of_o all_o evangelical_n obedience_n have_v the_o benefit_n of_o a_o pardon_n how_o dreadful_a be_v all_o our_o case_n for_o if_o this_o law_n allow_v no_o pardon_n it_o be_v express_o assure_v there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n but_o that_o of_o the_o gospel_n and_o if_o that_o extend_v not_o to_o sin_n against_o the_o gospel_n there_o will_v rest_v nothing_o to_o we_o but_o a_o certain_a fearful_a expectation_n of_o judgement_n and_o fiery_a indignation_n if_o it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v no_o sin_n against_o this_o law_n but_o final_a unbelief_n impenitency_n or_o insincerity_n or_o a_o apostasy_n include_v all_o these_o how_o imperfect_a then_o be_v the_o evangelical_n law_n that_o have_v command_v only_o upon_o those_o final_a result_v of_o our_o state_n and_o case_n and_o the_o subject_n of_o it_o be_v either_o leave_v to_o the_o law_n of_o work_n in_o all_o other_o case_n or_o else_o be_v under_o no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n but_o those_o forenamed_a but_o if_o the_o law_n do_v so_o ratify_v and_o confirm_v the_o gospel_n in_o those_o grand_a point_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n by_o its_o own_o authority_n and_o in_o all_o thing_n else_o stand_v the_o immutable_a rule_n of_o holiness_n then_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n do_v offer_v pardon_n and_o remission_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o that_o everlasting_a

which_o be_v much_o the_o fair_a and_o clear_a state_n of_o the_o case_n in_o reason_n and_o more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o scripture_n due_o consider_v and_o compare_v add_v hereunto_o the_o condemnation_n of_o every_o unbeliever_n be_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n because_o he_o love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_n in_o that_o his_o deed_n be_v evil_a and_o so_o he_o dare_v not_o come_v to_o the_o light_n this_o say_v christ_n be_v the_o condemnation_n joh._n 3._o 19_o and_o thus_o if_o the_o law_n do_v ratify_v and_o confirm_v the_o gospel_n with_o its_o

arg._n 6._o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o gospel_n or_o new_a testament_n true_o proper_o or_o strict_o define_v be_v a_o ministration_n only_o of_o righteousness_n of_o life_n of_o the_o spirit_n not_o of_o the_o letter_n that_o kill_v but_o of_o the_o spirit_n that_o give_v life_n it_o can_v therefore_o be_v no_o law_n except_o upon_o itself_o for_o if_o it_o minister_v life_n righteousness_n

than_o whatever_o it_o charge_n it_o charge_v upon_o itself_o that_o it_o have_v not_o so_o minister_v as_o it_o take_v upon_o be_v to_o minister_n and_o that_o it_o have_v not_o minister_v as_o such_o a_o ministration_n as_o it_o assert_v itself_o to_o be_v to_o all_o that_o be_v within_o it_o as_o its_o proper_a subject_n it_o must_v fault_n itself_o as_o the_o other_o covenant_n be_v find_v fault_n with_o because_o they_o break_v it_o that_o be_v under_o it_o but_o see_v this_o can_v be_v suppose_v of_o so_o glorious_a a_o ministration_n the_o gospel_n can_v be_v a_o law_n require_v and_o condemn_v when_o not_o obey_v but_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n minister_a righteousness_n and_o pardon_n and_o not_o condemnation_n for_o what_o ever_o be_v against_o the_o eternal_a

that_o however_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n unite_v one_o with_o the_o other_o in_o several_a great_a concernment_n and_o interest_n of_o both_o yet_o neither_o can_v the_o law_n pass_v into_o

by_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n faith_n in_o christ_n and_o repentance_n be_v not_o qualification_n or_o condition_n of_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n or_o justification_n by_o his_o

great_a concernment_n of_o eternity_n be_v not_o to_o wait_v for_o these_o as_o qualification_n or_o condition_n but_o to_o hasten_v to_o christ_n to_o fly_v to_o he_o for_o refuge_n to_o be_v find_v

the_o non_fw-fr elect_n they_o be_v branch_n of_o the_o same_o eternal_o righteous_a law_n upon_o promulgation_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n and_o upon_o the_o very_a

look_v to_o christ_n upon_o those_o two_o great_a declaration_n of_o the_o gospel_n 1._o that_o all_o man_n be_v lose_v and_o undo_v in_o themselves_o which_o rise_v up_o also_o from_o evident_a

reason_n that_o all_o be_v lose_v in_o themselves_o i_o know_v not_o then_o why_o in_o regard_n of_o its_o dignity_n it_o may_v not_o be_v first_o that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n or_o why_o not_o so_o in_o most_o absolute_a consideration_n for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a in_o our_o state_n our_o lose_a state_n be_v before_o the_o offer_n of_o salvation_n in_o christ_n in_o time_n
