much_o as_o no_o man_n be_v ever_o able_a to_o observe_v it_o except_o our_o saviour_n christ_n no_o man_n ever_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v justify_v by_o it_o but_o by_o christ_n only_o and_o as_o the_o

be_v those_o two_o covenant_n that_o god_o have_v make_v with_o mankind_n concern_v their_o justification_n &_o salvation_n &_o more_o than_o these_o two_o he_o have_v not_o make_v so_o that_o he_o which_o will_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n must_v look_v for_o no_o mercy_n and_o he_o that_o will_v be_v justify_v by_o grace_n in_o christ_n must_v not_o think_v of_o any_o merit_n worthiness_n

any_o such_o with_o man_n that_o he_o will_v forgive_v they_o half_a their_o sin_n and_o allow_v they_o to_o make_v amends_n for_o other_o half_o let_v they_o show_v their_o evidence_n if_o they_o

nothing_o else_o but_o agaren_n and_o ismaelyte_n child_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n and_o bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n as_o ishmael_n their_o father_n be_v who_o title_n and_o claim_n unto_o the_o spiritual_a inheritance_n be_v altogether_o earthly_a and_o carnal_a utter_o void_a of_o the_o promise_n and_o word_n of_o god._n but_o let_v we_o hear_v the_o apostle_n describe_a the_o two_o

seed_n by_o which_o of_o sinai_n that_o be_v the_o church_n of_o hypocrite_n be_v beget_v no_o child_n but_o unto_o perpetual_a bondage_n but_o here_o now_o arise_v a_o doube_v how_o of_o the_o law_n of_o god_o which_o be_v holy_a and_o good_a such_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a child_n shall_v be_v conceive_v for_o answer_v unto_o this_o doubt_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o not_o of_o the_o law_n right_o use_v such_o unhappy_a child_n be_v beget_v for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o law_n be_v good_a 1●_o if_o a_o man_n use_v it_o lawful_o but_o when_o righteousness_n be_v seek_v by_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v not_o attain_a by_o any_o man_n but_o through_o grace_n only_o then_o be_v the_o law_n abuse_v and_o of_o the_o law_n so_o abuse_v be_v beget_v no_o child_n but_o

justification_n be_v not_o seek_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n but_o either_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n only_o or_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n and_o faith_n then_o be_v the_o law_n which_o be_v holy_a of_o itself_o by_o this_o abuse_n make_v a_o corrupt_a seed_n of_o which_o be_v conceive_v these_o bastardly_a hypocrite_n that_o false_o challenge_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n whereas_o they_o be_v in_o deed_n the_o son_n of_o eternal_a sclavery_n and_o bondage_n you_o will_v say_v they_o seek_v liberty_n by_o this_o mean_n and_o not_o bondage_n but_o certain_a it_o be_v they_o find_v nothing_o but_o bondage_n what_o soever_o they_o pretend_v too_o seek_v for_o such_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o law_n that_o it_o bring_v all_o man_n into_o bondage_n that_o be_v not_o set_v at_o liberty_n by_o the_o only_o mean_v which_o god_o have_v appoint_v for_o their_o infranchisment_fw-mi which_o be_v the_o redemption_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n now_o when_o these_o man_n that_o seek_v too_o be_v under_o the_o law_n refuse_v the_o only_a charter_n of_o enfranchisement_n which_o almighty_a god_o do_v most_o merciful_o offer_v to_o give_v they_o free_o they_o be_v entangle_v with_o double_a bondage_n and_o thraldom_n both_o that_o which_o be_v by_o nature_n whereunto_o all_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n be_v subject_n that_o be_v not_o

neck_n under_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o law_n which_o promise_v no_o liberty_n but_o upon_o the_o keep_n of_o a_o impossible_a condition_n and_o threaten_v certain_a and_o perpetual_a bondage_n for_o every_o voluntary_a &_o yet_o necessary_a transgression_n so_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o all_o they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n either_o to_o obtain_v the_o reward_n which_o it_o promise_v or_o to_o avoid_v the_o punishment_n which_o it_o threaten_v wherefore_o mount_n sinai_n which_o be_v agar_n &_o the_o law_n thus_o abuse_v beget_v no_o child_n but_o hypocritical_a sclave_n unto_o everlasting_a bondage_n for_o agar_n be_v mount_n sinai_n in_o arabia_n and_o answer_v in_o figure_n too_o that_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v now_o &_o be_v in_o bondage_n with_o her_o child_n first_o let_v we_o here_o observe_v that_o manner_n of_o speech_n which_o the_o apostle_n use_v when_o he_o say_v that_o agar_n be_v the_o mount_n sinai_n whereas_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o mean_v that_o agar_n do_v figure_n or_o signify_v the_o mount_n sinai_n the_o papist_n make_v great_a exclamation_n against_o those_o interpreter_n which_o in_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n as_o they_o call_v they_o this_o be_v my_o body_n do_v expound_v est_fw-fr for_o significat_fw-la this_o be_v my_o body_n that_o be_v this_o bread_n do_v signify_v my_o body_n and_o a_o great_a matter_n they_o make_v of_o the_o verb_n substantive_a est_fw-fr as_o though_o that_o when_o soever_o it_o be_v use_v be_v scripture_n it_o declare_v a_o substance_n and_o no_o figure_n or_o sign_n of_o a_o

our_o text_n be_v one_o very_o manifest_a place_n agar_n say_v he_o be_v the_o mount_n sinai_n in_o arabia_n what_o be_v agar_n now_o change_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o a_o mount_n who_o be_v so_o

yea_o but_o i_o know_v what_o will_v be_v reply_v sayncte_fw-la paul_n speak_v not_o here_o of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v true_a but_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v of_o sacrament_n which_o
