conclude_v this_o pretend_a new_a law_n be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o old_a law_n furbish_a up_o again_o that_o in_o itself_o it_o must_v be_v essential_o to-name_v the_o work_n and_o justification_n

be_v a_o law_n with_o sanction_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o gospel_n ergo_fw-la the_o minor_a be_v easy_o make_v manifest_a 1._o from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o

3._o if_o it_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o act_v by_o a_o law_n in_o save_v sinner_n it_o must_v be_v before_o regeneration_n or_o after_o not_o before_o for_o

capable_a of_o come_v under_o the_o term_n of_o another_o 2._o their_o salvation_n must_v lie_v in_o delivery_n of_o they_o from_o the_o custody_n and_o curse_n of_o that_o they_o be_v under_o which_o can_v be_v by_o make_v term_n with_o they_o but_o with_o the_o law_n offend_v that_o detain_v they_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v mere_a grace_n without_o a_o law_n that_o must_v open_v the_o prison_n door_n to_o they_o 3._o you_o say_v the_o first_o grace_n be_v absolute_o and_o free_o give_v therefore_o the_o sinner_n can_v come_v under_o no_o term_n of_o law_n in_o order_n to_o the_o bring_v

be_v not_o only_o the_o author_n but_o the_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o obedience_n our_o perseverance_n and_o stand_v in_o grace_n will_v not_o be_v so_o secure_a as_o its_o beginning_n the_o grace_n of_o the_o covenant_n will_v not_o be_v homogeneous_a one_o part_n will_v be_v free_a and_o absolute_a the_o o●her_n conditional_a and_o upon_o term_n but_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o
