A41355	The marrow of modern divinity touching both the covenant of works, and the covenant of grace, with their use and end, both in the time of the Old Testament, and in the time of the New : wherein every one may cleerly see how far forth he bringeth the law into the case of justification, and so deserverh the name of legalist : and how far forth he rejecteth the law, in the case of sanctification, and so deserveth the name of Antinomist : with the middle path between them both, which by Iesus Christ leadeth to eternall life : in a dialogue, betwixt Evangelista, a minister of the Gospel, Nomista, a legalist, Antinomista, an Antinomian, and Neophytus, a young Christian / by the author, E.F. ; before the which there is prefixed the commendatory epistles of divers divines of great esteem in the citie of London ; whereunto is also added, the substance of a	Fisher, Edward, fl. 1627-1655.; Hamilton, Patrick, 1504?-1528.

now_o though_o all_o these_o scripture_n speak_v contrary_a one_o to_o another_o yet_o they_o all_o speak_v truth_n for_o they_o be_v all_o of_o they_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n and_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v to_o you_o that_o they_o do_v so_o i_o pray_v you_o take_v notice_n that_o where_o believer_n be_v say_v not_o to_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o free_v from_o the_o law_n it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o believer_n be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o that_o faith_n establish_v the_o law_n it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n now_o if_o believer_n be_v not_o under_o but_o be_v free_v from_o the_o law_n of_o work_n or_o covenant_n of_o work_n then_o though_o they_o do_v transgress_v the_o law_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o transgress_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o if_o they_o transgress_v not_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n then_o can_v god_n see_v any_o transgression_n of_o they_o as_o a_o transgression_n against_o that_o covenant_n and_o if_o he_o see_v it_o not_o then_o can_v you_o neither_o be_v angry_a with_o they_o nor_o yet_o chastise_v they_o for_o it_o but_o if_o believer_n be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o faith_n do_v establish_v the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n then_o if_o they_o transgress_v any_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n they_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o they_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n then_o do_v christ_n see_v it_o and_o if_o christ_n see_v it_o he_o will_v be_v both_o angry_a with_o they_o and_o chastise_v they_o for_o it_o now_o then_o neighbour_n neophytus_n to_o apply_v these_o thing_n to_o you_o and_o so_o to_o give_v you_o a_o particular_a answer_n to_o your_o question_n you_o be_v to_o know_v that_o you_o be_v not_o now_o under_o the_o law_n but_o be_v by_o christ_n free_v from_o it_o as_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o work_n and_o therefore_o whensoever_o you_o shall_v hereafter_o through_o frailty_n transgress_v any_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n you_o be_v not_o to_o think_v you_o have_v thereby_o transgress_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n neither_o be_v you_o to_o conceive_v that_o god_n either_o see_v your_o transgression_n or_o be_v angry_a with_o you_o or_o do_v chastise_v you_o for_o they_o as_o they_o be_v any_o way_n a_o transgression_n of_o that_o covenant_n for_o you_o be_v free_v from_o that_o covenant_n and_o so_o consequent_o from_o sin_v against_o it_o must_v needs_o likewise_o be_v free_v from_o all_o wrath_n anger_n misery_n calamity_n and_o affliction_n as_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o any_o transgression_n against_o that_o covenant_n but_o yet_o whilst_o you_o live_v you_o be_v to_o conceive_v that_o you_o be_v under_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o whensoever_o you_o do_v swerve_v or_o go_v away_o from_o the_o rule_n of_o any_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n you_o must_v persuade_v yourself_o that_o you_o have_v thereby_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o he_o see_v it_o and_o be_v displease_v with_o you_o for_o it_o and_o if_o you_o be_v not_o grieve_v for_o it_o and_o do_v not_o reform_v it_o christ_n will_v chastise_v you_o for_o it_o either_o by_o hide_v his_o face_n and_o withdraw_v the_o light_n of_o his_o countenance_n from_o you_o and_o so_o by_o deprive_v you_o of_o peace_n and_o comfort_n in_o he_o for_o a_o time_n or_o else_o by_o some_o outward_a loss_n or_o cross_n in_o this_o world_n for_o that_o be_v the_o penalty_n of_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o if_o you_o or_o any_o believer_n else_o do_v transgress_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n if_o need_v be_v 1.6_o you_o shall_v be_v as_o sure_o of_o temporal_a correction_n as_o a_o unbeliever_n that_o transgress_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n shall_v be_v of_o eternal_a damnation_n in_o hell_n wherefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o according_a to_o my_o exhortation_n and_o your_o resolution_n first_o be_v careful_a to_o exercise_v your_o faith_n and_o use_v all_o mean_n to_o increase_v it_o that_o so_o it_o may_v become_v

christ_n say_v 14.15_o if_o you_o love_v i_o keep_v my_o commandment_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o believe_a soul_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o its_o faith_n 40.8_o say_v with_o the_o psalmist_n i_o delight_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o my_o god_n yea_o thy_o law_n be_v within_o my_o heart_n for_o this_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n say_v that_o love_a disciple_n that_o we_o

strength_n of_o your_o tentation_n draw_v aside_o and_o prevail_v with_o to_o transgress_v any_o of_o christ_n comandement_n then_o beware_v that_o you_o do_v not_o thereupon_o take_v occasion_n to_o call_v christ_n love_n to_o you_o into_o question_n but_o believe_v as_o firm_o that_o he_o love_v you_o as_o dear_o as_o he_o do_v before_o you_o thus_o transgress_v for_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a
