ordinance_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o colossian_n the_o 2._o d_o and_o the_o 20.th_z and_n in_o galathian_n the_o 4.th_z he_o say_v to_o they_o but_o now_o after_o you_o have_v know_v god_n or_o

that_o chapter_n as_o long_o as_o you_o be_v under_o that_o low_a dispensation_n of_o ordinance_n you_o be_v but_o as_o servant_n under_o tutor_n and_o governor_n but_o now_o be_v the_o appoint_a

now_o that_o you_o be_v no_o more_o servant_n but_o son_n why_o do_v you_o not_o keep_v you_o so_o why_o do_v you_o look_v back_o upon_o those_o worldly_a element_n as_o if_o you_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o be_v again_o in_o bondage_n to_o they_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o same_o chapter_n confess_v that_o his_o first_o come_v unto_o they_o and_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n be_v through_o

i_o endeavour_v to_o draw_v they_o off_o from_o fleshly_a ordinance_n and_o the_o element_n of_o the_o world_n that_o by_o nature_n be_v no_o god_n by_o preach_v unto_o they_o the_o mystery_n of_o

christ_n be_v form_v in_o he_o and_o manifest_v unto_o he_o as_o the_o substance_n of_o all_o these_o shadow_n he_o do_v by_o what_o he_o apprehend_v of_o he_o see_v the_o vanity_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o glory_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o other_o compare_v spiritual_a thing_n with_o his_o spiricualized_a understanding_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v my_o little_a child_n of_o who_o

when_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o spiritual_a so_o do_v these_o man_n unto_o who_o paul_n write_v compare_v spiritual_a thing_n to_o their_o natural_a and_o carnal_a understanding_n think_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o natural_a man_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o spiritual_a they_o think_v that_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o natural_a freedom_n when_o indeed_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o spiritual_a freedom_n such_o as_o he_o enjoy_v when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o stock_n the_o enjoyment_n thereof_o be_v then_o so_o gladsome_a so_o joyous_a and_o sweet_a unto_o he_o that_o it_o make_v he_o sing_v
