who_o can_v ever_o question_v but_o that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o sufficient_a plea_n for_o we_o also_o and_o indeed_o if_o saint_n t_o paul_n have_v speak_v all_o that_o of_o himself_o and_o mean_v it_o of_o his_o own_o person_n the_o inference_n be_v undeniable_a and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o it_o will_v but_o for_o a_o full_a answer_n to_o this_o allegation_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o s_o t_o paul_n when_o he_o express_v all_o those_o thing_n in_o the_o first_o person_n use_n that_o mere_o out_o of_o modesty_n but_o not_o out_o of_o truth_n for_o he_o be_v upon_o a_o

of_o moses_n and_o because_o this_o be_v a_o charge_n which_o they_o who_o be_v most_o guilty_a will_v not_o love_v to_o hear_v of_o that_o he_o may_v soften_v the_o matter_n as_o much_o as_o may_v

and_o express_v it_o not_o in_o they_o to_o who_o it_o real_o do_v belong_v but_o in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o as_o for_o this_o metaschematism_n or_o speak_v thing_n that_o be_v odious_a in_o his_o own_o name_n when_o indeed_o they_o belong_v not_o to_o he_o but_o to_o other_o man_n it_o be_v very_o usual_a with_o the_o apostle_n for_o in_o this_o disguise_n he_o recite_v a_o most_o

with_o we_o have_v more_o ahound_v to_o his_o glory_n through_o my_o lie_n or_o unfaithfulness_n in_o break_v my_o covenant_n with_o he_o which_o make_v the_o most_o that_o can_v be_v for_o the_o

false_o or_o argue_v thus_o profane_o but_o i_o blasphemous_a objector_n judge_v as_o a_o sinner_n ver_fw-la 7._o and_o the_o same_o way_n of_o speech_n he_o observe_v again_o when_o he_o charge_v the_o wicked_a life_n of_o those_o who_o have_v give_v up_o their_o name_n to_o christ_n not_o upon_o his_o religion_n but_o upon_o their_o own_o self_n if_o while_o we_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n in_o the_o profession_n of_o his_o religion_n and_o not_o of_o moses_n law_n we_o ourselves_o be_v still_o find_v sinner_n and_o as_o flagitious_a in_o our_o life_n as_o ever_o be_v therefore_o christ_n the_o minister_n of_o sin_n god_n forbid_v for_o if_o i_o build_v again_o the_o thing_n which_o at_o my_o very_a baptism_n into_o christianity_n i_o destroy_v as_o it_o be_v

and_o have_v no_o wilful_a stain_n upon_o we_o when_o we_o have_v no_o other_o blemish_n than_o what_o the_o unwilled_a weakness_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o the_o very_a frame_n and_o circumstance_n of_o our_o constitution_n have_v make_v necessary_a and_o therefore_o every_o transgression_n whatsoever_o whether_o with_o our_o will_n or_o without_o and_o beside_o they_o do_v not_o present_o blot_v we_o out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n and_o put_v we_o out_o of_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n no_o some_o defect_n there_o be_v which_o do_v not_o overthrow_v but_o consist_v with_o it_o to_o give_v a_o clear_a account_n of_o this_o i_o will_v show_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o in_o the_o general_a that_o some_o slip_n and_o transgression_n be_v consistent_a with_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o dispense_v with_o by_o the_o gospel-covenant_n so_o that_o although_o a_o man_n die_v before_o he_o have_v amend_v they_o and_o be_v reform_v from_o they_o yet_o he_o shall_v not_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v condemn_v for_o they_o 2._o more_o particular_o what_o and_o of_o what_o nature_n those_o consistent_a slip_n and_o transgression_n be_v 1._o i_o say_v in_o the_o general_n that_o some_o slip_n and_o transgression_n be_v consistent_a with_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o be_v not_o eternal_o threaten_v but_o gracious_o tolerate_v and_o dispense_v with_o by_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o if_o a_o man_n die_v in_o they_o before_o he_o have_v perfect_o amend_v they_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v condemn_v for_o they_o now_o as_o for_o this_o the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o humane_a nature_n make_v it_o evident_a for_o such_o a_o state_n of_o unerring_a obedience_n and_o impeccability_n can_v here_o be_v perform_v by_o any_o man_n whether_o heathen_a jew_n or_o christian_a and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v require_v of_o he_o no_o man_n of_o any_o religion_n whatsoever_o can_v do_v it_o and_o so_o god_n can_v he_o will_v not_o exact_v it_o for_o of_o this_o all_o man_n may_v be_v full_o satisfy_v from_o that_o assurance_n of_o god_n goodness_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n that_o he_o never_o command_v impossibility_n or_o enjoin_v man_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v he_o do_v not_o require_v a_o beast_n to_o be_v as_o perfect_a as_o a_o man_n or_o lay_v that_o load_n upon_o a_o man_n which_o be_v fit_a only_a for_o the_o strength_n of_o a_o angel_n for_o to_o do_v thus_o be_v to_o act_v the_o part_n of_o a_o severe_a taskmaster_n and_o a_o cruel_a imposer_n but_o by_o no_o mean_n to_o use_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o love_a and_o a_o gracious_a lord_n it_o be_v indeed_o to_o reap_v where_o he_o have_v not_o sow_v and_o to_o call_v for_o that_o which_o he_o have_v never_o give_v and_o to_o command_v and_o order_n reward_n or_o punish_v not_o to_o promote_v obedience_n but_o only_o to_o show_v power_n not_o according_a

be_v think_v to_o prescribe_v a_o rule_n of_o action_n since_o no_o man_n can_v act_v after_o it_o nor_o to_o fix_v a_o measure_n of_o judgement_n since_o it_o be_v in_o no_o man_n choice_n to_o

all_o one_o to_o torment_v and_o punish_v a_o man_n without_o any_o law_n as_o to_o punish_v he_o for_o the_o breach_n of_o that_o which_o it_o be_v never_o possible_a for_o he_o to_o perform_v for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o fault_n where_o there_o be_v no_o ability_n and_o a_o tree_n be_v as_o much_o in_o fault_n for_o not_o walk_v when_o it_o be_v bid_v or_o a_o stone_n for_o not_o discourse_v as_o a_o man_n be_v for_o not_o do_v that_o which_o it_o be_v above_o his_o power_n to_o do_v so_o that_o whatsoever_o a_o man_n in_o such_o case_n be_v punish_v for_o will_v fall_v at_o length_n
