17._o 18._o if_o you_o call_v this_o strain_v of_o it_o far_o than_o to_o the_o elect_n i_o will_v stand_v by_o it_o and_o justify_v it_o against_o all_o your_o exception_n 2_o upon_o coloss_n 3_o you_o say_v i_o say_v be_v you_o christ_n and_o he_o will_v ãâ¦ã_z you_o if_o you_o make_v he_o your_o all_o and_o in_o all_o than_o he_o will_v make_v ãâ¦ã_z his_o all_o and_o in_o all._n these_o

law_n to_o be_v preach_v then_o there_o be_v no_o sinner_n and_o then_o also_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o repentance_n nor_o no_o need_n of_o a_o mediator_n therefore_o the_o law_n must_v first_o be_v preach_v to_o sinner_n to_o make_v they_o sensible_a of_o sin_n and_o of_o their_o undo_v estate_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n that_o they_o may_v know_v the_o want_n worth_n and_o necessity_n of_o a_o saviour_n for_o the_o law_n all_o grant_n be_v not_o to_o be_v preach_v to_o believer_n for_o any_o such_o end_n because_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n rome_n 6._o 14._o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o law_n ought_v to_o be_v preach_v first_o to_o sinner_n for_o the_o conviction_n of_o sin_n and_o 2._o i_o prove_v that_o the_o law_n ought_v to_o be_v preach_v first_o to_o sinner_n for_o the_o conviction_n of_o sin_n from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o for_o this_o i_o shall_v give_v some_o instance_n see_v the_o 2_o sam._n 12._o nathan_n convince_v david_n of_o his_o sin_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o vriah_n by_o a_o parable_n of_o one_o that_o have_v break_v the_o law_n by_o covet_a and_o take_v of_o another_o ewe-lamb_n and_o when_o david_n be_v convince_v he_o say_v i_o have_v sin_v ver_n 13._o then_o the_o prophet_n preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o he_o say_v the_o lord_n have_v put_v away_o thy_o sin_n thou_o shall_v not_o die_v the_o law_n admit_v of_o no_o remission_n but_o that_o soul_n that_o sin_n shall_v die_v so_o in_o joel_n 2._o the_o prophet_n preach_v law_n and_o wrath_n to_o the_o people_n in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o chapter_n and_o then_o afterward_o preach_v the_o gospel_n ver._n 12_o 13_o 14._o so_o in_o jeremiah_n 41._o 18._o when_o they_o be_v under_o conviction_n of_o sin_n by_o the_o law_n then_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o they_o v._n 20._o moreover_o the_o apostle_n peter_n preach_v first_o the_o law_n to_o the_o jew_n act_n 2._o 23._o compare_v with_o verse_n 36._o and_o when_o they_o be_v convince_v of_o their_o murder_n which_o be_v the_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n than_o he_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o they_o verse_n 38_o 39_o i_o may_v give_v you_o many_o more_o instance_n also_o i_o may_v ask_v you_o to_o who_o do_v you_o preach_v the_o gospel_n if_o not_o to_o sinner_n and_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o sinner_n it_o imply_v the_o law_n for_o how_o can_v they_o be_v sinner_n if_o the_o law_n be_v destroy_v where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n destroy_v the_o law_n and_o christ_n be_v dead_a in_o vain_a for_o christ_n come_v to_o redeem_v those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n gal._n 4._o 4_o 5._o and_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o ãâ¦ã_z y_fw-es be_v so_o far_o from_o destroy_v the_o law_n that_o they_o establish_v it_o ãâ¦ã_z 3._o 31._o and_o whereas_o you_o say_v to_o preach_v the_o law_n first_o be_v contrary_a ãâ¦ã_z that_o in_o the_o 16_o of_o john_n the_o spirit_n convince_v of_o sin_n i_o will_v have_v ãâ¦ã_z know_v that_o the_o law_n of_o itself_o be_v a_o dead_a letter_n but_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n ãâ¦ã_z t_o set_v in_o with_o the_o law_n
