legislation_n though_o many_o think_v otherwise_o i_o confess_v yet_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_o subsequent_a act_n of_o the_o rector_n without_o which_o his_o law_n can_v actual_o oblige_v even_o as_o revelation_n be_v a_o natural_a requisite_a of_o our_o actual_a believe_v any_o truth_n of_o god_n though_o not_o as_o i_o think_v the_o ipsum_fw-la formale_a objectum_fw-la fidei_fw-la sed_fw-la

remain_v disoblige_v when_o it_o be_v reveal_v or_o else_o god_n must_v make_v a_o new_a law_n for_o they_o or_o be_v changeable_a that_o be_v his_o sense_n for_o it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o he_o make_v a_o promulgation_n of_o that_o law_n which_o before_o he_o have_v enact_v and_o which_o be_v before_o a_o instrument_n fit_a to_o oblige_v but_o want_v the_o application_n by_o a_o promulgation_n without_o which_o it_o can_v not_o actual_o oblige_v by_o all_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o if_o the_o heathen_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v not-obliged_n to_o believe_v or_o to_o be_v not_o under_o the_o new_a law_n or_o covenant_n it_o must_v be_v only_o for_o want_v of_o a_o sufficient_a promulgation_n of_o that_o law_n and_o not_o for_o want_v of_o a_o universal_a tenor_n or_o from_o any_o exception_n against_o they_o in_o the_o law_n itself_o let_v we_o therefore_o next_o see_v how_o far_o the_o new_a law_n be_v promulgate_v to_o they_o prop._n vi_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v enact_v his_o new_a law_n do_v purposely_o ordain_v universal_a officer_n to_o promulgate_v his_o universal_a law_n give_v they_o this_o commission_n and_o command_n go_v you_o into_o all_o the_o world_n preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptise_a shall_v be_v save_v and_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v so_o that_o christ_n

of_o his_o new_a law_n yea_o for_o my_o part_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o this_o work_n of_o publish_v the_o gospel_n to_o all_o nation_n and_o so_o carry_v it_o to_o they_o that_o have_v not_o hear_v it_o do_v lie_v on_o some_o man_n to_o this_o day_n and_o god_n will_v have_v such_o universal_a minister_n yet_o in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o far_o the_o apostolical_a work_n be_v not_o cease_v and_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v a_o most_o heinous_a sin_n of_o christian_a prince_n and_o state_n that_o they_o procure_v not_o able_a minister_n to_o be_v send_v into_o all_o the_o heathenish_a part_n of_o the_o world_n as_o far_o as_o possible_o they_o can_v and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o those_o minister_n who_o have_v ability_n fitness_n and_o opportunity_n for_o this_o work_n that_o they_o do_v not_o how_o hazardous_a and_o painful_a and_o chargeable_a soever_o set_v themselves_o resolve_o to_o it_o so_o that_o if_o christ_n law_n be_v well_o obey_v there_o be_v no_o likelihood_n
