very_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o consider_v how_o you_o have_v distinguish_v the_o law_n of_o work_n and_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n for_o you_o say_v the_o ten_o commandment_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o law_n of_o work_n or_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n you_o have_v here_o make_v a_o distinction_n that_o neither_o the_o scripture_n set_v forth_o nor_o any_o author_n that_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o but_o to_o answer_v you_o direct_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v all_o one_o and_o the_o same_o not_o differ_v in_o itself_o but_o be_v a_o holy_a just_a and_o perfect_a law_n proceed_v from_o a_o holy_a god_n and_o bind_v all_o man_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o it_o and_o condemn_v every_o transgression_n against_o it_o yea_o the_o

difference_n lie_v in_o this_o that_o the_o one_o namely_o true_a believer_n be_v justify_v by_o christ_n from_o the_o curse_n and_o penalty_n of_o the_o law_n and_o unbeliever_n lie_v under_o the_o

the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v call_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v other_o law_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n the_o law_n of_o faith_n or_o believe_v in_o

for_o the_o text_n gallat_n 6.2_o it_o be_v set_v down_o by_o the_o apostle_n as_o one_o special_a law_n of_o christ_n to_o bear_v one_o another_o burden_n but_o this_o will_v not_o prove_v your_o

lest_o i_o shall_v be_v mistake_v i_o will_v set_v down_o in_o a_o short_a definition_n what_o true_a repentance_n be_v a_o thing_n altogether_o omit_v by_o this_o author_n neither_o have_v he_o

a_o exceed_a desire_n of_o pardon_n peace_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n luke_n 15._o you_o may_v see_v all_o the_o part_n of_o repentance_n in_o the_o prodigal_a son_n and_o let_v the_o author_n take_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n it_o be_v no_o money_n of_o our_o own_o this_o repentance_n here_o lay_v down_o be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n yea_o the_o

very_a much_o i_o know_v the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n admit_v of_o no_o repentance_n neither_o do_v it_o receive_v faith_n in_o christ_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n to_o

or_o assure_v they_o of_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n first_o reason_n be_v from_o the_o constant_a and_o unchangeable_a order_n the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v observe_v throughout_o the_o scripture_n in_o require_v repentance_n and_o faith_n always_o require_v repentance_n in_o the_o first_o place_n mark_v 1.15_o math._n 3.2_o luke_n 3.3_o acts._n 2.38_o and_o the_o 3.19_o so_o that_o i_o infer_v hence_o the_o holy_a ghost_n always_o require_v it_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v that_o work_n which_o he_o please_v first_o to_o work_v second_o reason_n because_o until_o we_o have_v true_a repentance_n wrought_v in_o we_o we_o have_v no_o right_n unto_o any_o special_a promise_n for_o the_o special_a promise_n of_o grace_n &_o

whosoever_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n rom._n 5.1_o but_o no_o man_n be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n until_o he_o have_v true_o repent_v and_o his_o sin_n do_v away_o therefore_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n until_o he_o have_v true_o repent_v i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o repentance_n be_v the_o condition_n require_v in_o our_o part_n to_o our_o
