in_o the_o gospel_n lead_v they_o further_o than_o the_o law_n yea_o it_o lead_v they_o to_o serve_v in_o the_o newness_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o the_o oldness_n of_o the_o letter_n that_o the_o law_n may_v be_v fulfil_v in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n though_o they_o be_v not_o to_o tie_v themselves_o to_o that_o only_a but_o to_o go_v further_o yet_o what_o be_v there_o in_o the_o law_n that_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o spiritual_o hold_v forth_o either_o in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n or_o all_o those_o other_o statute_n and_o judgement_n and_o

they_o be_v not_o to_o take_v the_o whole_a law_n as_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o letter_n of_o it_o to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o life_n as_o be_v the_o pharisaical_a and_o now_o be_v the_o popish_a

of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o this_o point_n i_o shall_v 1_o show_v how_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n free_v we_o from_o the_o law_n 2._o i_o

free_a as_o this_o spirit_n be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o christ_n in_o all_o his_o action_n 2._o how_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n as_o it_o be_v in_o we_o derive_v from_o christ_n set_v we_o free_v but_o first_o as_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n in_o christ_n be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o his_o suffering_n in_o his_o death_n and_o in_o his_o resurrection_n i_o say_v the_o

through_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n he_o present_v himself_o a_o complete_a sacrifice_n without_o spot_n to_o god_n flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v never_o have_v do_v it_o no_o it_o be_v the_o eternal_a
