persuade_v that_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v remit_v not_o because_o they_o do_v not_o deserve_v death_n but_o because_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o

these_o be_v most_o horrible_a so_o they_o which_o do_v either_o of_o they_o wrest_v the_o scripture_n be_v most_o ungodly_a and_o damnable_a unless_o they_o repent_v for_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o this_o epistle_n see_v the_o ungodly_a to_o challenge_v unto_o themselves_o that_o liberty_n say_v that_o it_o be_v proper_a only_a to_o those_o which_o put_v one_o the_o

to_o christ_n he_o promise_v the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n which_o overwhelm_v they_o with_o his_o curse_n do_v easy_o destroy_v they_o now_o as_o for_o those_o which_o will_v mount_v aloft_o in_o their_o feign_a sincerity_n because_o they_o study_v all_o that_o in_o they_o lie_v to_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n we_o be_v thus_o to_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o to_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o to_o seek_v to_o put_v of_o all_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o to_o fly_v up_o into_o the_o middle_a heaven_n or_o altogether_o to_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o the_o company_n of_o the_o wicked_a for_o that_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n 5.10_o and_o therefore_o s._n paul_n willing_a we_o not_o to_o have_v any_o company_n with_o evil_a doer_n straight_a way_n expound_v himself_o say_v i_o mean_v not_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o at_o all_o company_n with_o they_o for_o than_o you_o shall_v go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o as_o i_o think_v this_o be_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o this_o scripture_n to_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n be_v to_o be_v conversant_a in_o beat_v down_o fleshe_o lust_n and_o to_o give_v token_n of_o our_o hatred_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o not_o yield_a to_o the_o former_a opinion_n to_o say_v thus_o unto_o our_o conscience_n i_o have_v often_o fall_v and_o sin_v grievous_o but_o the_o lord_n have_v receive_v i_o to_o grace_n he_o have_v graff_v i_o into_o the_o communion_n of_o christ_n he_o have_v bring_v i_o into_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o church_n by_o baptism_n therefore_o as_o long_o as_o i_o go_v on_o forward_o in_o faith_n although_o sin_n seek_v to_o deal_v violent_o with_o i_o yet_o shall_v i_o be_v free_a from_o all_o guiltiness_n and_o damnation_n because_o i_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n yea_o i_o abhor_v all_o the_o lust_n and_o concupiscence_n of_o the_o flesh_n to_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o grace_n before_o conclude_v may_v be_v prove_v by_o good_a reason_n as_o if_o a_o man_n will_v allege_v work_n we_o may_v thus_o reply_v if_o salvation_n or_o justification_n be_v by_o work_n then_o either_o by_o perfect_a work_n or_o unperfect_a but_o not_o by_o unperfect_a work_n for_o every_o unperfect_a work_n be_v sin_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v by_o work_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v by_o perfect_a work_n which_o no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o work_v but_o only_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o our_o work_n be_v account_v vile_a and_o of_o none_o effect_n i_o may_v reason_v against_o the_o blindness_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n truth_n but_o it_o need_v not_o because_o it_o be_v here_o set_v down_o verse_n that_o only_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n give_v all_o thing_n set_v free_a and_o make_v bond_n give_v health_n and_o scourge_v with_o sickness_n for_o by_o these_o word_n the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v understand_v the_o bountifulness_n and_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n the_o power_n which_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o cast_v away_o of_o the_o relic_n of_o the_o old_a adam_n and_o put_v on_o of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o new_a man_n christ_n the_o bountifulness_n which_o as_o it_o grant_v pardon_v and_o abolish_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n in_o we_o set_v we_o free_a from_o the_o guiltiness_n of_o death_n so_o it_o grant_v unto_o we_o the_o holiness_n of_o christ_n which_o once_o impute_v do_v perfect_o and_o absolute_o finish_v the_o sanctification_n begone_v in_o us._n this_o which_o be_v hear_v call_v the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v that_o spirit_n which_o be_v promise_v to_o be_v pour_v on_o the_o seed_n of_o man_n because_o man_n without_o the_o moist_a of_o this_o spirit_n be_v as_o a_o dry_a 44.3_o and_o barren_a land_n which_o spirit_n also_o be_v

work_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o by_o work_v let_v we_o see_v from_o what_o slavery_n it_o have_v free_v we_o true_o not_o as_o some_o think_v who_o because_o of_o this_o freedom_n say_v that_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n set_v down_o in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n no_o my_o brethren_n that_o be_v a_o perilous_a doctrine_n wherefore_o i_o pray_v you_o beware_v of_o it_o for_o to_o be_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n be_v not_o to_o live_v as_o we_o list_v or_o to_o shake_v of_o the_o commandment_n together_o with_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o it_o be_v thus_o to_o be_v take_v that_o we_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v so_o confirm_v that_o the_o law_n of_o concupiscence_n be_v overcome_v by_o we_o that_o we_o be_v

to_o repair_v the_o decay_a image_n of_o our_o former_a perfection_n and_o to_o refer_v all_o our_o worldly_a practice_n or_o action_n whatsoever_o to_o be_v rule_v and_o square_v by_o the_o write_a

be_v say_v before_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n abandon_v sin_n and_o overcome_n set_v we_o free_a from_o death_n here_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o law_n be_v weak_a or_o as_o the_o greek_a word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v impossible_a to_o redeem_v or_o to_o free_a from_o sin_n so_o that_o it_o remain_v that_o the_o law_n be_v only_o a_o shower_n of_o our_o fault_n and_o a_o condemner_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o lest_o any_o shall_v think_v that_o he_o condemn_v the_o law_n he_o set_v down_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o inability_n or_o weakness_n namely_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o flesh_n as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n be_v able_a to_o justify_v because_o it_o contain_v a_o most_o exact_a and_o perfect_v rule_n of_o

our_o corruption_n make_v the_o law_n of_o god_n unprofitable_a unto_o we_o and_o that_o though_o it_o show_v the_o way_n of_o life_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v back_o we_o from_o run_v headlong_o into_o destruction_n let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o answer_v of_o this_o doubt_n by_o the_o argument_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o ere_o adversis_fw-la that_o be_v of_o contrary_n which_o can_v

to_o have_v send_v this_o present_a and_o only_a remedy_n now_o that_o christ_n be_v perfect_a man_n we_o read_v that_o he_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o 3.15_o abraham_n and_o afterwards_o of_o the_o
