before_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n provide_v we_o observe_v it_o but_o as_o those_o believer_n do_v for_o they_o use_v it_o but_o as_o a_o guide_n to_o live_v honest_o by_o for_o abraham_n

you_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n see_v 1_o cor._n 9_o 21._o where_o paul_n confess_v ingenuous_o that_o he_o be_v then_o under_o the_o law_n to_o christ_n even_o than_o when_o he_o be_v a_o believer_n in_o christ_n for_o salvation_n yea_o as_o in_o rom._n 7._o 22._o he_o confess_v he_o do_v delight_n in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n after_o the_o inner_a man_n but_o even_o then_o there_o be_v some_o that_o do_v slander_v he_o in_o this_o very_a point_n as_o be_v more_o than_o likely_a as_o you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v in_o rom._n 3._o 31._o by_o his_o speech_n there_o as_o by_o way_n of_o

null_a the_o moral_a law_n by_o his_o preach_n of_o faith_n nor_o yet_o by_o his_o believe_v it_o therefore_o o_o you_o antinomian_n detest_v your_o curse_a tenet_n for_o the_o best_a of_o we_o do_v see_v our_o sin_n but_o dim_o in_o ourselves_o and_o although_o the_o more_o a_o man_n be_v sanctify_v the_o more_o he_o can_v discern_v the_o remnant_n of_o his_o sin_n in_o he_o yet_o he_o can_v

all_o even_o the_o best_a of_o we_o need_v of_o a_o guide_n for_o god_n have_v ordain_v outward_a mean_n as_o well_o as_o inward_a for_o the_o edify_n of_o his_o saint_n and_o if_o we_o retain_v the_o

beware_v lest_o you_o have_v unaware_o admit_v of_o some_o jesuitical_a spirit_n i_o will_v note_v one_o thing_n more_o out_o of_o that_o in_o mat._n 5._o 17._o viz._n that_o our_o saviour_n join_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n together_o and_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o come_v to_o destroy_v the_o law_n or_o the_o prophet_n why_o will_v you_o understand_v one_o of_o they_o in_o the_o spiritual_a sense_n only_o and_o the_o other_o in_o the_o literal_a only_o for_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v all_o conclude_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o literal_a sense_n that_o their_o prophecy_n that_o be_v write_v shall_v last_v no_o long_o than_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o law_n also_o that_o be_v write_v that_o our_o saviour_n mean_v and_o not_o the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o child_n and_o i_o hope_v that_o in_o 1_o cor._n 9_o 21._o and_o also_o that_o in_o rom._n 7._o and_o 22._o will_v full_o satisfy_v any_o honest_a man_n that_o be_v capable_a of_o babe_n meat_n but_o i_o fear_v they_o hold_v another_o dangerous_a tenet_n which_o this_o latter_a curse_a tenet_n do_v produce_v angry_a viz._n god_n be_v

they_o when_o they_o so_o transgress_v against_o he_o and_o also_o do_v usual_o afflict_v they_o sore_o see_v for_o this_o deut._n 9_o 20._o the_o lord_n be_v angry_a with_o aaron_n even_o to_o
