comparrison_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n yet_o i_o may_v say_v of_o outward_a thing_n as_o far_o as_o christ_n have_v enjoin_v they_o as_o christ_n say_v of_o tthe_a mint_n and_o annise_v when_o he_o speak_v of_o righteousness_n these_o thing_n ought_v you_o to_o have_v one_o but_o the_o other_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v leave_v undo_v so_o this_o be_v the_o main_a work_n for_o a_o christian_n to_o do_v and_o it_o be_v bless_v to_o see_v a_o saint_n make_v that_o his_o main_a study_n but_o if_o god_n make_v law_n and_o give_v command_n about_o external_a thing_n outward_a thing_n i_o must_v not_o neglect_v that_o neither_o it_o be_v as_o one_o observe_v as_o with_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o world_n they_o both_o see_v the_o misery_n but_o the_o saint_n begin_v to_o study_v the_o cause_n of_o contention_n and_o the_o old_a say_n be_v happy_a be_v he_o that_o know_v the_o cause_n contention_n one_o cause_n of_o contention_n one_o main_a cause_n of_o contention_n among_o we_o be_v god_n come_v now_o with_o more_o light_n than_o we_o have_v before_o we_o have_v more_o and_o more_o but_o this_o light_n be_v not_o a_o full_a light_n i_o mean_v thus_o this_o light_n come_v and_o shine_v but_o in_o part_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o we_o that_o be_v we_o see_v part_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o part_n we_o see_v not_o and_o while_o we_o learn_v one_o part_n we_o forget_v another_o part_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v ordinary_a among_o christian_n while_o they_o learn_v faith_n and_o justification_n they_o forget_v purity_n and_o holiness_n while_o they_o learn_v church-discipline_n they_o forget_v godliness_n while_o they_o learn_v holiness_n within_o they_o forget_v obedience_n without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n of_o people_n now_o a_o day_n as_o the_o sun_n shine_v on_o the_o earth_n how_o be_v that_o you_o know_v when_o the_o sun_n shine_v in_o our_o horizon_n it_o do_v not_o shine_v to_o the_o other_o end_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v night_n with_o they_o when_o it_o be_v day_n with_o we_o so_o when_o the_o light_n show_v one_o thing_n another_o truth_n be_v lose_v and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o division_n light_n be_v come_v but_o it_o be_v not_o a_o full_a light_n it_o reveal_v not_o all_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o teach_v one_o one_o thing_n and_o another_o another_z we_o see_v not_o all_o together_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n wherein_o man_n mistake_v though_o i_o much_o commend_v they_o for_o their_o prize_v of_o spiritual_a thing_n yet_o if_o their_o be_v a_o real_a command_n of_o god_n in_o outward_a thing_n i_o humble_o beseech_v you_o that_o you_o will_v not_o disdain_v and_o despise_v it_o that_o be_v all_o i_o have_v to_o say_v to_o they_o there_o be_v a_o second_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o mistake_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n law_n 2_o those_o that_o abolish_v the_o moral_n law_n and_o make_v the_o rule_n wide_o than_o it_o be_v those_o that_o go_v far_o than_o those_o that_o be_v that_o do_v not_o only_o slight_a external_a worship_n &_o government_n etc._n etc._n as_o far_o as_o god_n have_v lay_v it_o down_o but_o break_v down_o the_o pale_n even_o to_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n and_o think_v that_o the_o way_n be_v now_o so_o wide_o that_o even_o the_o ten_o commandment_n that_o the_o moral_a law_n itself_o be_v do_v away_o there_o be_v some_o conceive_v so_o but_o concern_v that_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o subject_n that_o i_o can_v prove_v more_o full_o with_o strong_a argument_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o nor_o myself_o now_o and_o i_o show_v before_o how_o christ_n come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o moral_a law_n neither_o for_o that_o use_n that_o paul_n make_v of_o it_o to_o reveal_v sin_n to_o make_v we_o esteem_v of_o christ_n or_o to_o be_v a_o light_n the_o spirit_n be_v within_o for_o they_o be_v not_o contradictory_n as_o some_o simple_o think_v and_o speak_v but_o the_o spirit_n within_o and_o the_o law_n without_o be_v a_o lantern_n only_o the_o damnation_n be_v go_v but_o there_o be_v other_o motive_n to_o obey_v it_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v but_o the_o law_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o pass_v so_o now_o you_o see_v two_o sort_n and_o i_o hope_v if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o here_o that_o they_o will_v also_o take_v their_o share_n for_o if_o every_o one_o will_v here_o with_o humility_n and_o take_v his_o part_n i_o hope_v there_o will_v soon_o be_v a_o end_n of_o most_o of_o our_o contention_n the_o three_o sort_n go_v far_o than_o those_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n spirit_n 3_o those_o that_o allow_v outward_a profaneness_n &_o only_o serve_v god_n in_o their_o spirit_n they_o make_v it_o so_o broad_a this_o all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a that_o not_o only_o in_o point_n of_o government_n or_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o those_o that_o hold_v against_o the_o moral_a law_n they_o hold_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v the_o thing_n but_o not_o upon_o the_o same_o motive_n they_o hold_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o be_v whoremonger_n and_o drunkard_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o three_o sort_n say_v if_o we_o worship_v god_n in_o our_o spirit_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n what_o we_o do_v with_o our_o body_n we_o may_v worship_n god_n in_o our_o spirit_n and_o go_v to_o mass_n and_o do_v any_o thing_n the_o body_n be_v but_o as_o a_o tool_n in_o a_o carpenter_n hand_n it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o confute_v those_o i_o can_v give_v many_o reason_n to_o the_o contrary_n christ_n have_v redeem_v soul_n and_o body_n therefore_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o both_o and_o you_o know_v the_o soul_n and_o body_n that_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n shall_v be_v damn_v the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o therefore_o the_o body_n have_v need_v to_o look_v to_o it_o as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n and_o we_o be_v command_v to_o bear_v witness_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n how_o can_v we_o do_v it_o if_o the_o body_n may_v do_v any_o thing_n we_o need_v never_o suffer_v persecution_n as_o all_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n must_v if_o i_o will_v be_v content_a to_o serve_v christ_n in_o my_o soul_n only_o i_o will_v not_o suffer_v persecution_n i_o will_v go_v to_o mass_n and_o swear_v and_o be_v drink_v etc._n etc._n again_o we_o be_v call_v to_o be_v like_o christ_n and_o he_o be_v holy_a in_o soul_n and_o body_n how_o can_v we_o be_v like_o he_o if_o we_o will_v be_v holy_a in_o our_o soul_n only_o and_o not_o in_o our_o body_n nay_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v that_o be_v if_o the_o soul_n be_v holy_a the_o body_n will_v be_v so_o too_o if_o there_o be_v wickedness_n in_o the_o heart_n there_o must_v be_v wickedness_n in_o the_o body_n and_o if_o there_o be_v holiness_n in_o the_o soul_n there_o will_v be_v also_o in_o the_o body_n if_o any_o hold_v a_o opinion_n to_o make_v contention_n by_o it_o let_v they_o take_v it_o as_o a_o admonition_n from_o the_o lord_n to_o consider_v what_o they_o do_v thus_o you_o see_v the_o error_n on_o the_o lefthand_n as_o i_o desire_v power_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o tell_v you_o what_o think_v so_o i_o desire_v that_o you_o will_v endeavour_v to_o understand_v the_o error_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n be_v contrary_a to_o this_o hand_n 2_o error_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n when_o as_o paul_n say_v all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a as_o the_o one_o make_v it_o universal_a that_o every_o thing_n be_v lawful_a so_o the_o other_o

have_v a_o spirit_n not_o suitable_a to_o the_o new_a testament_n though_o mistake_v i_o not_o they_o differ_v but_o in_o degree_n chief_o and_o principal_o they_o make_v law_n and_o tie_n and_o bond_n and_o knot_n and_o knack_n and_o many_o ridiculous_a thing_n to_o tie_v and_o bind_v themselves_o where_o christ_n jesus_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v not_o bind_v they_o and_o hence_o
