to_o be_v a_o law_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o mighty_a operation_n in_o the_o soul_n it_o bring_v down_o light_a and_o truth_n and_o life_n and_o power_n into_o the_o soul_n and_o work_v exceed_v strong_o in_o the_o soul_n and_o when_o it_o come_v what_o be_v able_a to_o withstand_v the_o spirit_n what_o be_v great_a than_o the_o spirit_n what_o be_v strong_a than_o the_o spirit_n if_o the_o spirit_n come_v it_o bear_v down_o all_o opposition_n though_o the_o flesh_n lust_n against_o the_o spirit_n yet_o the_o spirit_n be_v two_o strong_a for_o the_o flesh_n so_o that_o it_o divide_v the_o very_a jont_n and_o marrow_n so_o that_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o law_n above_o the_o law_n the_o law_n be_v weak_a and_o can_v take_v place_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n but_o when_o the_o spirit_n come_v with_o its_o law_n it_o prevail_v against_o all_o and_z takes_z place_n the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o say_v our_o saviour_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v if_o the_o spirit_n quicken_v it_o have_v life_n in_o it_o and_o where_o life_n be_v it_o be_v full_a of_o activity_n for_o life_n be_v manifest_v in_o this_o in_o that_o it_o be_v full_a of_o motion_n quickness_n and_o agility_n and_o in_o beat_v off_o every_o thing_n that_o do_v offend_v it_o or_o annoy_v it_o so_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o spirit_n of_o life_n it_o have_v a_o mighty_a power_n in_o it_o although_o the_o soul_n be_v fill_v with_o sin_n and_o guilt_n and_o in_o that_o condition_n clothe_v also_o with_o ignorance_n which_o do_v so_o environ_v the_o foul_a as_o it_o can_v stir_v in_o any_o other_o way_n nor_o have_v the_o least_o motion_n of_o good_a in_o it_o yet_o when_o the_o spirit_n come_v he_o bear_v down_o all_o he_o destroy_v all_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o spirit_n of_o burn_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o baptise_v he_o be_v say_v to_o baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n so_o that_o when_o the_o spirit_n come_v nothing_o can_v stand_v before_o he_o and_o he_o bring_v both_o light_n and_o heat_n and_o motion_n in_o he_o and_o be_v most_o powerful_a in_o operation_n but_o then_o 3._o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o law_n or_o to_o have_v a_o law_n in_o it_o as_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a and_o true_a guide_n and_o as_o it_o lead_v every_o soul_n in_o a_o right_n and_o true_a way_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n shall_v lead_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o indeed_o the_o spirit_n guide_v secure_o and_o guide_v safe_o guide_v sure_o and_o guide_v pure_o for_o the_o spirit_n can_v err_v and_o he_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o be_v guide_v to_o fulfil_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n as_o far_o as_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o bless_a guide_n and_o a_o bless_a rule_n and_o about_o the_o law_n for_o although_o the_o law_n it_o be_v true_a be_v righteous_a holy_a and_o good_a yet_o alas_o it_o can_v bring_v forth_o power_n to_o enable_v the_o creature_n to_o walk_v suitable_a to_o its_o self_n it_o be_v only_o the_o spirit_n have_v that_o power_n and_o not_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o saint_n he_o show_v they_o the_o truth_n teach_v they_o the_o truth_n and_o lead_v they_o in_o the_o truth_n and_o give_v they_o power_n to_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o truth_n for_o its_o the_o spirit_n that_o guide_v the_o saint_n to_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o truth_n its_o self_n and_o so_o the_o spirit_n guide_v the_o saint_n in_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n through_o the_o spirit_n they_o mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n and_o live_v through_o the_o spirit_n they_o be_v guide_v to_o deny_v themselves_o to_o abandon_v their_o own_o part_n and_o their_o own_o endowment_n and_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o to_o see_v all_o in_o and_o to_o fetch_v all_o from_o a_o christ_n through_o the_o spirit_n the_o saint_n put_v away_o the_o garment_n spot_v by_o the_o flesh_n and_o forsake_v their_o vain_a conversation_n wherein_o in_o time_n past_a they_o walk_v through_o the_o spirit_n the_o saint_n be_v guide_v to_o deny_v all_o ungodlynesse_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v sober_o and_o holy_a and_o godly_a in_o the_o present_a evil_a world_n through_o the_o spirit_n they_o be_v teach_v to_o love_v with_o a_o unfeigned_a love_n the_o household_n of_o faith_n put_v away_o malice_n and_o envy_v and_o the_o leaven_n of_o dissension_n and_o wickedness_n through_o the_o spirit_n the_o saint_n be_v guide_v so_o to_o walk_v as_o to_o shine_v as_o light_n amid_o a_o crooked_a and_o perverse_a generation_n in_o a_o word_n through_o the_o spirit_n the_o saint_n be_v guide_v have_v discliam_v all_o their_o own_o righteousness_n to_o do_v that_o which_o the_o jew_n can_v not_o do_v by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o law_n even_o to_o submit_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o clothe_v themselves_o through_o faith_n with_o the_o glorious_a robe_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n whereby_o they_o see_v themselves_o complete_a in_o he_o and_o thus_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o pure_a and_o a_o sure_a guide_n and_o in_o these_o three_o respect_n the_o spirit_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o law_n and_o so_o much_o may_v suffice_v for_o answer_v to_o the_o first_o queree_n but_o 2._o queree_n 2_o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n here_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o do_v not_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o we_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n the_o queree_n will_v be_v how_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o christ_n answer_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o christ_n under_o two_o consideration_n 1._o as_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o life_n 2._o as_o he_o communicate_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n unto_o all_o his_o people_n 1._o as_o the_o lord_n lesus_fw-la christ_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o life_n as_o the_o fullness_n of_o all_o life_n dwell_v in_o he_o for_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n it_o please_v the_o father_n that_o in_o he_o shall_v all_o fullness_n dwell_v 45._o 1_o cor._n 15.47_o 45._o and_o the_o same_o apostle_n also_o say_v he_o be_v the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n and_o that_o the_o first_o adam_n be_v make_v a_o live_a soul_n but_o the_o second_o adam_n be_v make_v a_o quicken_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o but_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v and_o the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o they_o be_v spirit_n and_o they_o be_v life_n there_o be_v such_o a_o fullness_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o christ_n that_o whatsoever_o christ_n speak_v be_v spiritual_a and_o carry_v a_o spiritual_a signification_n along_o with_o it_o for_o indeed_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o he_o without_o measure_n so_o that_o in_o he_o be_v life_n original_o or_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o life_n but_o then_o 2._o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v in_o he_o by_o way_n of_o communication_n all_o that_o of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v communicate_v unto_o we_o be_v communicate_v unto_o we_o in_o and_o by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v we_o any_o life_n any_o strength_n any_o beauty_n upon_o we_o any_o grace_n convey_v unto_o we_o it_o be_v all_o convey_v in_o and_o through_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n tell_v the_o jew_n that_o he_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n the_o bread_n of_o heaven_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o whosoever_o do_v eat_v of_o his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v of_o his_o blood_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o &_o he_o breathe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n on_o his_o disciple_n and_o pour_v upon_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o river_n of_o live_a water_n river_n of_o his_o spirit_n for_o he_o convey_v fullness_n of_o spirituallitie_n and_o divine_a strength_n into_o they_o that_o man_n therefore_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n convey_v into_o he_o through_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n live_v in_o he_o be_v the_o most_o beautiful_a creature_n in_o the_o world_n for_o he_o carry_v divine_a sweetness_n and_o beauty_n upon_o his_o spirit_n and_o he_o that_o have_v this_o spirit_n derive_v from_o christ_n have_v true_a life_n in_o he_o other_o man_n may_v be_v alive_a and_o yet_o dead_a but_o that_o man_n that_o have_v the_o life_n of_o christ_n through_o his_o spirit_n that_o work_v in_o he_o such_o a_o soul_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o such_o a_o soul_n shall_v never_o die_v but_o it_o shall_v

law_n yet_o they_o be_v spiritual_a see_v a_o spiritual_a beauty_n and_o glory_n in_o it_o they_o see_v it_o be_v holy_a and_o just_a and_o pure_a they_o see_v the_o character_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n upon_o it_o and_o can_v have_v slight_a and_o undervalew_v thought_n of_o it_o as_o the_o manner_n of_o some_o be_v though_o they_o be_v not_o to_o have_v over-valewing_a thought_n as_o to_o think_v to_o be_v justify_v thereby_o or_o to_o think_v they_o be_v to_o walk_v no_o further_o than_o that_o rule_n for_o justification_n this_o i_o say_v they_o can_v do_v for_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o gospel_n lead_v they_o further_o than_o the_o law_n yea_o it_o lead_v they_o to_o serve_v in_o the_o newness_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o the_o oldness_n of_o the_o letter_n that_o the_o law_n may_v be_v fulfil_v in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n though_o they_o be_v not_o to_o tie_v themselves_o to_o that_o only_a but_o to_o go_v further_o yet_o what_o be_v there_o in_o the_o law_n that_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o spiritual_o hold_v forth_o either_o in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n or_o all_o those_o other_o statute_n and_o judgement_n and_o ordinance_n give_v to_o they_o of_o old_a i_o say_v what_o be_v there_o which_o be_v not_o spiritual_o hold_v forth_o in_o the_o gospel_n though_o not_o in_o the_o outward_a letter_n although_o the_o saint_n do_v not_o now_o nor_o be_v now_o to_o fulfil_v it_o in_o the_o letter_n as_o i_o may_v instance_n in_o circumcision_n and_o many_o other_o thing_n yet_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v fulfil_v spiritual_o in_o they_o and_o thus_o though_o the_o saint_n be_v free_v from_o the_o law_n yet_o they_o be_v to_o walk_v by_o a_o high_a rule_n and_o a_o high_a law_n the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o he_o be_v a_o pure_a and_o a_o sure_a guide_n and_o he_o that_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n for_o his_o guide_n he_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o he_o that_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v none_o of_o he_o and_o as_o many_o as_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o i●_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n indeed_o that_o lead_v the_o saint_n into_o all_o truth_n that_o spirit_n that_o come_v from_o god_n lead_v they_o up_o to_o god_n and_o thus_o have_v i_o brief_o answer_v this_o query_n and_o show_v by_o compare_v the_o two_o covenant_n together_o that_o the_o saint_n be_v free_a from_o the_o law_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o under_o that_o covenant_n for_o for_o that_o be_v make_v old_a etc._n etc._n so_o that_o they_o be_v not_o first_o under_o the_o condemn_a power_n nor_o second_o be_v they_o to_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o it_o nor_o three_o be_v they_o to_o take_v the_o law_n as_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o letter_n 7._o rom._n 7._o in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o as_o a_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o but_o here_o lest_o i_o shall_v be_v mistake_v by_o any_o slight_a or_o vain_a spirit_n who_o may_v be_v apt_a to_o conclude_v that_o the_o law_n be_v utter_o to_o be_v cast_v aside_o now_o and_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v look_v upon_o but_o they_o may_v live_v as_o they_o listen_v i_o must_v further_o declare_v that_o though_o believer_n be_v now_o free_a from_o the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o law_n and_o though_o they_o be_v not_o to_o take_v the_o whole_a law_n as_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o letter_n of_o it_o to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o life_n as_o be_v the_o pharisaical_a and_o now_o be_v the_o popish_a manner_n yet_o this_o law_n be_v still_o to_o be_v take_v as_o a_o rule_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n or_o as_o it_o be_v hold_v forth_o in_o the_o gospel_n for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o law_n be_v spiritual_o hold_v forth_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o not_o only_o the_o ten_o precept_n be_v to_o be_v take_v as_o a_o rule_n and_o be_v moral_a but_o other_o law_n beside_o they_o which_o be_v give_v with_o the_o ten_o precept_n be_v rule_n for_o saint_n now_o and_o be_v moral_a also_o because_o the_o gospel_n hold_v they_o forth_o also_o as_o for_o instance_n that_o law_n of_o do_v good_a to_o our_o enemy_n exod._n 23.4_o 5._o and_o that_o law_n that_o forbid_v oppression_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o of_o the_o widow_n the_o fatherless_a child_n and_o of_o the_o stranger_n exod._n 22.22_o 23_o 24_o and_o 23.9_o as_o also_o that_o of_o keep_v just_a weight_n and_o just_a balance_n and_o that_o of_o reverence_v the_o ancient_a and_o the_o gray_a head_n etc._n etc._n these_o and_o other_o be_v i_o say_v moral_a as_o well_o as_o the_o ten_o precept_n because_o they_o be_v hel●_n forth_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o be_v they_o rule_v by_o which_o saint_n be_v strict_o enjoin_v to_o walk_v by_o in_o a_o word_n all_o that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n be_v free_o and_o full_o and_o sweet_o to_o be_v embrace_v and_o practise_v by_o all_o believer_n as_o the_o gospel_n hold_v it_o forth_o and_o doubtless_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n do_v lead_v those_o that_o be_v his_o so_o to_o do_v whatsoever_o the_o practice_n of_o other_o be_v but_o now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o will_v not_o have_v any_o to_o think_v that_o those_o other_o law_n which_o be_v abolish_v in_o the_o gospel_n i_o mean_v in_o the_o outward_a literal_a observation_n of_o they_o as_o those_o typical_a ceremonial_a and_o leviticall_a law_n be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o least_o practise_v by_o believer_n now_o but_o we_o be_v to_o receive_v all_o law_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n now_o and_o not_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n as_o the_o lord_n jesus_n now_o have_v explain_v they_o himself_o and_o by_o his_o spirit_n in_o his_o servant_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o not_o as_o moses_n lay_v they_o down_o and_o thus_o much_o in_o answer_n etc._n etc._n now_o by_o this_o time_n we_o see_v this_o truth_n clear_a that_o the_o saint_n have_v obtain_v a_o freedom_n from_o the_o law_n by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o it_o come_v now_o to_o be_v apply_v in_o several_a use_n and_o it_o be_v of_o use_n to_o both_o those_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n which_o do_v divide_v the_o world_n those_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o those_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n first_o those_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o 1._o use_v to_o rebuke_v and_o admonish_v those_o which_o real_o be_v antinomian_o against_o the_o law_n and_o will_v make_v void_v the_o law_n use_v 1_o in_o the_o first_o here_o be_v a_o word_n of_o reprehension_n to_o those_o that_o have_v a_o loose_a and_o carnal_a spirit_n do_v contemn_v and_o despise_v the_o law_n upon_o this_o consideration_n because_o they_o hear_v that_o in_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v the_o privilege_n of_o the_o saint_n that_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n therefore_o do_v these_o man_n turn_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n into_o wantonness_n &_o take_v liberty_n in_o way_n of_o licentiousness_n as_o though_o they_o may_v live_v as_o they_o listen_v turn_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n against_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n against_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o holiness_n and_o of_o such_o the_o apostele_n speak_v for_o there_o be_v
