the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v part_n of_o god_n word_n do_v convert_v as_o well_o as_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o all_o sound_a divine_n whatsoever_o may_v fall_v from_o they_o at_o other_o time_n as_o appear_v by_o their_o common_a answer_n to_o the_o papist_n question_n if_o the_o law_n and_o the_o command_v thereof_o be_v impossible_a to_o what_o purpose_n then_o do_v he_o command_v they_o why_o do_v he_o bid_v we_o turn_v to_o he_o when_o we_o can_v then_o we_o answer_v that_o these_o commandment_n be_v not_o only_o inform_v of_o a_o duty_n but_o they_o be_v practical_a and_o operative_a mean_n appoint_v by_o god_n to_o work_v at_o least_o in_o some_o degree_n that_o which_o be_v command_v hence_o those_o command_n be_v compare_v by_o the_o learned_a to_o that_o command_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o lazarus_n that_o he_o shall_v rise_v up_o and_o walk_v therefore_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o general_n take_v notice_n 1._o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v read_v or_o preach_v work_v no_o further_a conversion_n the_o word_n real_a or_o preach_v concurre_v objective_o only_a to_o man_n conversion_n than_o objective_o to_o the_o conversion_n of_o a_o man_n if_o consider_v in_o itself_o take_v it_o i_o say_v in_o itself_o not_o animate_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o the_o utmost_a effect_n it_o can_v reach_v unto_o be_v to_o work_v only_o as_o a_o object_n upon_o the_o understanding_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o light_n now_o we_o know_v the_o sun_n give_v light_a by_o way_n of_o a_o object_n it_o do_v not_o give_v a_o see_a eye_n to_o a_o blind_a man_n it_o be_v a_o noble_a question_n in_o divinity_n see_v regeneration_n be_v attribute_v both_o to_o the_o word_n and_o to_o baptism_n how_o one_o work_v it_o different_o from_o the_o other_o or_o if_o both_o work_n it_o why_o be_v not_o one_o superfluous_a now_o concern_v the_o word_n preach_v we_o may_v more_o easy_o answer_v then_o about_o the_o sacrament_n viz._n that_o it_o work_v by_o way_n of_o a_o object_n upon_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n and_o be_v it_o not_o set_v home_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o further_a work_n it_o can_v obtain_v and_o this_o do_v plain_o appear_v in_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v only_o convert_v those_o who_o be_v able_a to_o hear_v and_o understand_v and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v thus_o of_o itself_o only_o a_o directive_n and_o informative_a rule_n hence_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o pilot_n compass_n to_o theseus_n his_o thread_n lead_v we_o in_o the_o circean_a garden_n of_o this_o world_n and_o therefore_o take_v away_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o we_o may_v say_v the_o whole_a scripture_n be_v a_o letter_n kill_v yea_o that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o gospel_n preach_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n a_o thousand_o time_n over_o they_o convey_v no_o grace_n if_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v not_o there_o effectual_o indeed_o if_o the_o communicate_v of_o grace_n be_v inseparable_o annex_v to_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n then_o that_o be_v of_o some_o consequence_n which_o be_v object_v by_o the_o antinomian_a therefore_o in_o the_o next_o place_n consider_v this_o whatsoever_o good_a effect_n spirit_n all_o the_o benefit_n convey_v to_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n be_v efficient_o from_o god_n spirit_n or_o benefit_n be_v convey_v to_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n or_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v efficient_o from_o god_n spirit_n so_o that_o we_o must_v not_o take_v the_o law_n without_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o then_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o gospel_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o that_o be_v unequal_a and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n i_o may_v prefer_v the_o law_n sometime_o before_o the_o gospel_n for_o i_o may_v suppose_v a_o minister_n open_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o law_n as_o christ_n do_v here_o in_o this_o chapter_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n accompany_v this_o to_o change_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n one_o preach_v the_o gospel_n in_o the_o great_a glory_n of_o it_o yet_o not_o accompany_v with_o god_n spirit_n there_o may_v not_o be_v the_o least_o degree_n of_o grace_n wrought_v in_o any_o hearer_n therefore_o i_o can_v well_o understand_v that_o the_o law_n indeed_o that_o show_v we_o our_o duty_n but_o the_o gospel_n that_o give_v we_o grace_n to_o do_v it_o for_o if_o you_o take_v the_o gospel_n for_o the_o promise_v preach_v how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o hear_v these_o that_o yet_o receive_v no_o benefit_n by_o they_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o the_o law_n set_v forth_o our_o duty_n be_v accompany_v with_o god_n spirit_n that_o may_v instrumental_o work_v in_o we_o a_o ability_n to_o our_o duty_n and_o without_o the_o spirit_n the_o gospel_n can_v do_v it_o it_o be_v true_a if_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n that_o have_v there_o be_v only_a law_n there_o can_v never_o have_v be_v any_o grace_n vouchsafe_v but_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o the_o promise_v of_o the_o gospel_n that_o any_o good_a be_v bring_v to_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o the_o law_n work_v as_o a_o medium_n to_o our_o conversion_n by_o christ_n as_o the_o gospel_n if_o i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o meaning_n then_o it_o be_v true_a but_o the_o obscure_a and_o unclear_a express_v of_o this_o give_v a_o occasion_n to_o the_o antinomian_a error_n now_o that_o the_o scripture_n as_o it_o be_v write_v or_o preach_v without_o why_o the_o word_n without_o the_o spirit_n can_v convert_v we_o and_o why_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n can_v convert_v we_o be_v plain_a partly_o because_o then_o the_o devil_n and_o great_a man_n of_o part_n which_o do_v understand_v the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n better_o than_o other_o will_v be_v soon_o convert_v partly_o because_o the_o scripture_n so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v a_o word_n read_v or_o preach_v can_v reach_v to_o the_o heart_n to_o alter_v and_o change_v that_o hence_o the_o word_n of_o god_n though_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o sword_n yet_o it_o be_v call_v a_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n ephes_n 6._o 17._o yet_o although_o this_o be_v true_a we_o must_v not_o fall_v into_o that_o extreme_a error_n of_o some_o who_o therefore_o deny_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o will_v have_v we_o whole_o depend_v upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n say_v the_o scripture_n be_v a_o creature_n and_o we_o must_v not_o give_v too_o much_o to_o a_o creature_n for_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o efficient_a and_o the_o word_n be_v the_o subordinate_a and_o these_o two_o must_v not_o be_v oppose_v but_o compose_v one_o with_o the_o other_o now_o have_v clear_v this_o general_a i_o bring_v these_o argument_n conversion_n six_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o law_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o it_o mean_n of_o conversion_n to_o prove_v the_o law_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o it_o the_o mean_n of_o conversion_n 1._o that_o which_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v god_n word_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v to_o any_o part_n of_o it_o now_o this_o be_v make_v the_o property_n of_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o conversion_n 2_o tim._n 3._o 16._o where_o you_o have_v the_o manifold_a effect_n of_o god_n word_n to_o reprove_v to_o correct_v and_o to_o instruct_v in_o righteousness_n that_o the_o man_n of_o god_n may_v be_v thorough_o furnish_v to_o every_o good_a work_n now_o mark_v the_o universality_n of_o this_o all_o scripture_n whether_o you_o take_v all_o collective_o or_o distributive_o it_o will_v not_o invalidate_v this_o argument_n because_o every_o part_n of_o scripture_n have_v its_o partial_a ability_n and_o fitness_n for_o these_o effect_n here_o mention_v thus_o matth._n 13._o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o general_n be_v compare_v to_o seed_v sow_o that_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n see_v also_o heb._n 4._o 12._o 2._o the_o second_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o those_o place_n where_o the_o law_n be_v express_o name_v to_o be_v instrumental_a in_o this_o great_a work_n not_o to_o name_v that_o place_n of_o rom._n 7._o 14._o where_o the_o law_n be_v call_v spiritual_a in_o this_o respect_n as_o well_o as_o in_o other_o because_o it_o be_v that_o which_o work_v spiritual_o in_o we_o as_o paul_n be_v carnal_a because_o he_o work_v carnal_o the_o place_n be_v clear_a out_o of_o the_o 119._o psal_n and_o psal_n 19_o 7._o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_a convert_v the_o soul_n it_o be_v true_a some_o understand_v the_o convert_n of_o the_o soul_n

the_o precept_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o they_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o indeed_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n be_v a_o organ_n and_o instrument_n of_o god_n spirit_n for_o instruction_n reformation_n and_o to_o make_v a_o man_n perfect_a to_o every_o good_a work_n it_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a thing_n to_o separate_v the_o law_n from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o then_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o gospel_n for_o if_o you_o do_v take_v the_o gospel_n even_o that_o promise_n christ_n come_v to_o save_v sinner_n without_o the_o spirit_n it_o work_v no_o more_o yea_o it_o be_v a_o dead_a letter_n as_o well_o as_o the_o law_n therefore_o calvin_n well_o call_v lex_fw-la corpus_fw-la and_o the_o spirit_n anima_fw-la now_o accedat_fw-la anima_fw-la ad_fw-la corpus_fw-la and_o it_o

a_o man_n be_v quicken_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o obedience_n this_o be_v not_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o law_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n but_o of_o this_o anon_o 4._o it_o be_v

it_o be_v the_o curse_a error_n of_o the_o manichee_n and_o marcionites_n that_o the_o law_n be_v only_o carnal_a and_o have_v only_o carnal_a promise_n whereas_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o

they_o without_o christ_n consider_v rom._n 2._o 17_o 18_o 19_o or_o when_o they_o go_v further_a they_o join_v christ_n and_o the_o observance_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n equal_o together_o for_o

the_o benefit_n of_o the_o law_n which_o david_n and_o moses_n do_v so_o much_o commend_v but_o against_o it_o in_o the_o sense_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v common_o dote_v upon_o it_o which_o be_v to_o
