this_o answer_n i_o will_v hasten_v they_o must_v have_v to_o deal_v immediate_o with_o god_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v now_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n through_o creature_n and_o while_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n through_o creature_n they_o may_v get_v a_o great_a deal_n and_o may_v make_v shift_n for_o much_o but_o when_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o deal_v with_o

to_o deal_v with_o the_o servant_n they_o get_v some_o bit_n and_o scrap_n and_o many_o thing_n from_o the_o servant_n but_o if_o they_o know_v they_o can_v have_v nothing_o but_o from_o the_o very_a

that_o they_o have_v be_v but_o as_o scrap_n from_o the_o servant_n they_o have_v to_o deal_v only_o with_o creature_n they_o look_v no_o further_o but_o hereafter_o thing_n shall_v be_v settle_v another_o way_n and_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v weigh_v by_o god_n himself_o in_o a_o balance_n of_o justice_n and_o distribute_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n himself_o immediate_o and_o now_o thing_n will_v be_v carry_v after_o another_o manner_n the_o lord_n himself_o will_v come_v to_o dispose_v of_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o speech_n of_o a_o german_a divine_a though_o he_o be_v a_o good_a

god_n be_v one_o and_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n be_v another_o i_o be_o now_o to_o deal_v with_o god_n it_o be_v true_a i_o live_v thus_o before_o man_n and_o man_n give_v their_o verdict_n of_o i_o as_o good_a and_o think_v i_o be_v in_o a_o good_a condition_n but_o o_o i_o be_o now_o to_o go_v to_o god_n and_o to_o deal_v immediate_o with_o he_o and_o god_n judgement_n and_o man_n judgement_n be_v different_a thing_n when_o god_n shall_v come_v to_o weigh_v all_o man_n portion_n out_o as_o it_o will_v be_v then_o so_o much_o righteousness_n so_o much_o portion_n so_o much_o

now_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o god_n thou_o must_v come_v to_o the_o scale_n and_o thou_o will_v put_v in_o thy_o good_a serving_n of_o god_n and_o thy_o come_n to_o church_n and_o some_o good_a

you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v shed_v for_o to_o take_v you_o off_o from_o your_o vain_a conversation_n receive_v by_o tradition_n from_o your_o forefather_n christ_n shed_v his_o blood_n that_o he_o may_v deliver_v you_o from_o all_o such_o traditional_a thing_n that_o so_o you_o may_v worship_v god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n this_o become_v the_o gospel_n and_o at_o your_o leisure_n do_v but_o read_v over_o that_o second_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n speak_v of_o man_n that_o in_o a_o voluntary_a humility_n worship_a angel_n intrude_a into_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v not_o see_v and_o vain_o puff_v up_o by_o their_o fleshly_a mind_n and_o then_o in_o the_o 16._o verse_n let_v no_o man_n therefore_o judge_v you_o in_o meat_n or_o in_o drink_n not_o that_o you_o may_v not_o eat_v flesh_n at_o such_o and_o such_o time_n in_o the_o year_n or_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o holy_a day_n or_o of_o the_o new_a

to_o come_v then_o in_o the_o 19_o vers_fw-la and_o not_o hold_v the_o head_n those_o that_o stand_v upon_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o be_v they_o be_v here_o charge_v for_o not_o hold_v the_o head_n that_o be_v they_o do_v not_o hold_v christ_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n shall_v say_v if_o so_o be_v that_o you_o hold_v christ_n and_o profess_v christ_n you_o will_v not_o stand_v upon_o these_o

they_o after_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n say_v the_o apostle_n i_o profess_v i_o be_o afraid_a of_o you_o that_o all_o my_o preach_n in_o vain_a to_o you_o now_o my_o brethren_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v to_o those_o that_o stick_v upon_o these_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v never_o appoint_v but_o be_v of_o popish_a ordination_n as_o keep_v one_o time_n more_o holy_a than_o another_o and_o think_v thereby_o to_o tender_v up_o service_n to_o god_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o keep_v the_o memory_n of_o such_o and_o such_o time_n now_o as_o to_o keep_v they_o so_o as_o to_o think_v that_o they_o shall_v sanctify_v any_o time_n be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n a_o sign_n that_o they_o understand_v the_o gospel_n but_o little_a to_o think_v that_o any_o man_n upon_o any_o reason_n whatsoever_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o sanctify_v a_o time_n to_o make_v that_o time_n to_o be_v holy_a i_o say_v that_o be_v unbeseeming_a the_o gospel_n no_o man_n can_v make_v a_o holy_a day_n under_o the_o gospel_n obj._n but_o you_o will_v say_v we_o keep_v day_n of_o fast_v and_o thanksgiving_n ans_fw-fr but_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o these_o time_n that_o here_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o now_o the_o keep_n of_o holy_a day_n be_v this_o we_o account_v the_o time_n holy_a and_o the_o very_a duty_n be_v more_o acceptable_a because_o it_o be_v perform_v at_o that_o time_n as_o now_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n there_o may_v be_v a_o sermon_n on_o the_o week_n day_n but_o certain_o it_o be_v a_o more_o holy_a worship_n of_o god_n to_o hear_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n than_o on_o the_o week_n day_n and_o we_o sanctify_v god_n name_n more_o on_o the_o sabbath_n than_o on_o the_o week_n why_o because_o the_o time_n do_v sanctify_v the_o duty_n be_v set_v apart_o by_o god_n as_o in_o the_o temple_n the_o duty_n be_v more_o acceptable_a than_o in_o any_o other_o place_n why_o because_o it_o be_v set_v apart_o by_o god_n but_o we_o can_v make_v any_o place_n holy_a and_o so_o no_o time_n holy_a so_o that_o our_o day_n of_o fast_v &_o thansgive_n be_v only_o thus_o that_o we_o will_v spend_v that_o time_n in_o holy_a duty_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o or_o to_o bless_v god_n but_o not_o to_o make_v this_o time_n holy_a so_o that_o the_o duty_n shall_v be_v holy_a because_o it_o be_v on_o this_o day_n rather_o than_o on_o another_o day_n that_o be_v the_o superstition_n of_o it_o when_o a_o duty_n shall_v be_v holy_a rather_o on_o this_o day_n than_o on_o another_o as_o now_o some_o they_o think_v it_o be_v a_o more_o holy_a thing_n to_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n on_o a_o ester_n day_n than_o on_o another_o day_n this_o be_v superstition_n to_o think_v the_o duty_n be_v more_o holy_a by_o any_o holiness_n that_o man_n put_v upon_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v unbeseeming_a the_o gospel_n and_o we_o be_v redeem_v from_o such_o vain_a conversation_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o while_o man_n stick_v upon_o these_o thing_n and_o say_v let_v they_o do_v what_o they_o will_v i_o think_v these_o thing_n be_v good_a and_o right_n it_o be_v very_o evil_a thus_o it_o be_v with_o the_o galatian_n they_o have_v more_o seem_a reason_n to_o think_v that_o those_o thing_n that_o they_o stick_v upon_o be_v according_a to_o god_n than_o you_o yet_o say_v the_o apostle_n i_o be_o afraid_a of_o you_o lest_o i_o have_v spend_v all_o my_o labour_n in_o vain_a lest_o i_o have_v be_v a_o burn_a and_o shine_a lamp_n to_o no_o purpose_n and_o true_o there_o be_v no_o people_n of_o which_o there_o can_v be_v less_o hope_n that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n shall_v work_v saying_o upon_o than_o those_o people_n that_o be_v set_v upon_o old_a custom_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o wine_n upon_o their_o lees_n and_o till_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o take_v off_o your_o heart_n from_o old_a custom_n in_o the_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o plain_a demonstration_n that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v not_o prevail_v with_o your_o heart_n for_o you_o do_v not_o live_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n that_o which_o become_v the_o gospel_n it_o be_v worship_v god_n only_o in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n the_o consecrate_v of_o your_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o all_o you_o have_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o make_v they_o to_o be_v a_o holy_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v your_o reasonable_a service_n and_o that_o be_v another_o particular_a that_o the_o gospel_n teach_v and_o therefore_o to_o live_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n be_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n the_o ten_o thing_n that_o i_o shall_v further_o add_v of_o what_o the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o to_o we_o and_o that_o be_v of_o such_o consequence_n that_o i_o shall_v a_o little_a insist_v upon_o it_o that_o be_v the_o near_a relation_n that_o we_o be_v in_o to_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o spiritual_a union_n with_o he_o this_o be_v open_v in_o the_o gospel_n more_o full_o than_o ever_o it_o be_v before_o the_o relation_n to_o god_n first_o god_n as_o a_o father_n and_o believer_n as_o child_n yea_o and_o as_o child_n of_o age_n for_o though_o in_o the_o law_n it_o be_v true_a we_o find_v that_o god_n be_v there_o a_o father_n and_o ephraim_n be_v his_o dear_a son_n but_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o 3._o of_o galatian_n that_o now_o we_o be_v as_o child_n of_o age_n whereas_o believer_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n be_v under_o
