deliver_v by_o the_o letter_n of_o moses_n law_n whereas_o indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n the_o moral_a precept_n of_o god_n natural_a law_n though_o of_o great_a consequence_n to_o the_o everlasting_a

out_o of_o that_o reason_n and_o with_o that_o intent_n which_o god_n require_v because_o it_o contract_v not_o for_o the_o world_n to_o come_v wherewith_o that_o intent_n be_v rewardable_a for_o as_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o precept_n material_o qualify_v that_o people_n for_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n so_o the_o keep_n of_o they_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o for_o his_o service_n qualify_v they_o then_o for_o heaven_n as_o christian_n always_o suppose_v the_o expectation_n of_o christ_n come_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o god_n people_n therefore_o though_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o divine_n under_o christianity_n to_o distinguish_v between_o moral_a and_o positive_a in_o moses_n law_n yet_o they_o will_v confound_v the_o ground_n of_o that_o distinction_n as_o it_o take_v

our_o lord_n christ_n require_v of_o christian_n whereas_o by_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v it_o may_v appear_v that_o the_o mistake_n which_o our_o lord_n correct_v in_o the_o meaning_n of_o

to_o it_o sense_n the_o meaning_n of_o the_o first_o commandment_n in_o this_o sense_n can_v christian_n say_v true_o that_o god_n ever_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n and_o
