truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n may_v plead_v the_o number_n and_o worth_n of_o its_o patron_n and_o friend_n this_o may_v let_v we_o learn_v to_o give_v honour_n to_o who_o honour_n be_v due_a and_o reverence_n and_o respect_n to_o holy_a man_n and_o to_o their_o holiness_n so_o far_o as_o the_o same_o be_v due_a but_o let_v the_o ability_n or_o holiness_n of_o no_o man_n or_o man_n be_v the_o standard_n of_o our_o principle_n for_o it_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n within_o but_o the_o bless_a word_n without_o that_o be_v the_o only_a sure_a foundation_n to_o truth_n bottom_n to_o our_o faith_n paul_n commend_v the_o berean_o for_o not_o take_v up_o what_o he_o deliver_v upon_o trust_n but_o search_v the_o scripture_n whether_o the_o thing_n be_v so_o or_o not_o act._n 17.10_o 11._o how_o will_v such_o a_o spirit_n grace_v the_o ministry_n at_o this_o day_n and_o how_o much_o cause_n have_v we_o to_o lament_v the_o want_n of_o it_o 2_o hence_o learn_v that_o justification_n peace_n of_o conscience_n here_o salvation_n hereafter_o be_v not_o attainable_a by_o the_o old_a covenant_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o all_o these_o flow_n from_o grace_n 1_o justification_n flow_v from_o grace_n rom._n 3.24_o titus_n 3.7_o 2_o peace_n of_o conscience_n flow_v from_o that_o and_o therefore_o consequent_o from_o grace_n rom._n 5.1_o 2_o 3._o yea_o peace_n of_o conscience_n be_v god_n gift_n rom._n 15.13_o 2_o thess_n 2.16_o everlasting_a consolation_n be_v give_v and_o give_v through_o grace_n 3_o salvation_n be_v of_o grace_n ephes_n 2.5.8_o 2_o tim._n 1.9_o but_o now_o the_o old_a covenant_n be_v not_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n therefore_o neither_o of_o these_o which_o be_v all_o effect_n of_o grace_n be_v attainable_a by_o it_o 3_o hence_o learn_v that_o whatsoever_o work_n may_v be_v in_o a_o man_n or_o upon_o he_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n and_o the_o power_n that_o it_o have_v ever_o conscience_n be_v not_o a_o work_n of_o grace_n a_o man_n under_o the_o old_a covenant_n may_v through_o the_o terror_n of_o it_o upon_o his_o conscience_n do_v much_o he_o may_v repent_v as_o ahab_n and_o judas_n do_v confess_v his_o sin_n to_o other_o as_o saul_n do_v to_o david_n pray_v and_o deny_v himself_o as_o ishmael_n do_v gen._n 21.17_o chap._n 25.9_o reform_v many_o thing_n as_o herod_n do_v be_v very_o zealous_a in_o his_o way_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v rom._n 10.2_o and_o paul_n before_o conversion_n gal._n 1.14_o phil._n 3.6_o i_o say_v he_o may_v be_v outward_o very_o strict_a yet_o not_o have_v one_o dram_n of_o grace_n because_o the_o old_a covenant_n be_v not_o a_o covenant_n that_o give_v grace_n hence_o we_o may_v see_v what_o a_o great_a mistake_v many_o poor_a soul_n lie_v under_o about_o their_o own_o condition_n and_o the_o condition_n of_o other_o whilst_o they_o bless_v themselves_o or_o other_o as_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n because_o some_o legal_a work_n through_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n have_v pass_v upon_o they_o they_o have_v repent_v and_o mourn_v and_o be_v humble_v and_o be_v reform_v etc._n etc._n true_o all_o this_o a_o man_n may_v be_v and_o yet_o as_o christ_n say_v a_o publican_n and_o harlot_n may_v get_v into_o heaven_n before_o he_o all_o this_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o do_v not_o evidence_n a_o dram_n of_o grace_n for_o all_o this_o may_v be_v by_o the_o old_a covenant_n which_o be_v not_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n nor_o do_v convey_v grace_n the_o old_a covenant_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o can_v do_v glorious_a thing_n it_o can_v make_v a_o man_n work_v till_o he_o sweat_v again_o so_o reform_v as_o that_o one_o will_v think_v that_o man_n which_o the_o other_o day_n be_v a_o notorious_a sinner_n be_v become_v a_o angel_n it_o will_v give_v a_o man_n comfort_n and_o joy_n and_o ravishment_n in_o his_o duty_n and_o obedience_n now_o many_o when_o they_o feel_v a_o old_a covenant_n work_v pass_v upon_o they_o or_o see_v it_o in_o other_o which_o man_n may_v have_v and_o drop_v into_o hell_n notwithstanding_o yea_o thousand_o be_v there_o which_o have_v have_v it_o they_o present_o cry_v out_o well_o i_o

to_o be_v trouble_v by_o think_v otherwise_o of_o themselves_o then_o that_o all_o be_v well_o and_o also_o because_o other_o think_v well_o of_o they_o and_o so_o as_o the_o stony_a ground_n they_o

of_o these_o thing_n more_o hereafter_o thus_o much_o as_o touch_v the_o negative_a part_n of_o our_o question_n that_o the_o old_a covenant_n can_v be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n i_o come_v to_o the_o positive_a the_o question_n now_o be_v quest_n what_o kind_n of_o covenant_n be_v this_o old_a covenant_n ans_fw-fr the_o most_o proper_a name_n that_o can_v be_v give_v to_o it_o to_o express_v its_o nature_n be_v to_o style_v it_o a_o conditional_a covenant_n a_o name_n that_o suit_n excellent_o well_o with_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o old_a and_o do_v also_o better_a than_o any_o other_o distinguish_v it_o from_o the_o new_a which_o according_a to_o name_n and_o nature_n both_o be_v a_o covenant_n absolute_a and_o inconditional_a as_o shall_v the_o lord_n assist_v be_v make_v appear_v when_o we_o come_v to_o treat_v of_o the_o new_a covenant_n if_o you_o ask_v i_o wherein_o or_o in_o what_o thing_n do_v this_o conditionality_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n appear_v i_o answer_v in_o the_o whole_a of_o it_o whatsoever_o the_o old_a covenant_n hold_v forth_o or_o give_v to_o those_o under_o it_o it_o hold_v forth_o and_o give_v in_o a_o conditional_a way_n the_o old_a covenant_n be_v rich_a have_v its_o hand_n full_a or_o mercy_n and_o blessing_n but_o will_v give_v forth_o none_o but_o upon_o condition_n as_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o new_a covenant_n so_o great_a but_o that_o covenant_n give_v it_o forth_o free_o so_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o old_a covenant_n so_o small_a which_o it_o will_v part_v with_o or_o let_v go_v without_o the_o performance_n of_o some_o condition_n by_o he_o who_o will_v enjoy_v its_o gift_n this_o will_v better_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v how_o that_o this_o old_a covenant_n have_v two_o great_a gift_n to_o bestow_v 1_o a_o gift_n of_o blessing_n which_o it_o give_v forth_o upon_o condition_n of_o exact_a and_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o all_o those_o thing_n that_o those_o under_o the_o same_o do_v by_o virtue_n either_o of_o moral_a or_o judicial_a precept_n stand_v oblige_v to_o perform_v 2_o a_o gift_n of_o grace_n by_o which_o in_o case_n their_o blessing_n through_o disobedience_n either_o to_o any_o of_o the_o moral_a or_o judicial_a command_n shall_v become_v forfeit_a or_o lose_v and_o themselves_o bring_v under_o the_o contrary_a curse_n they_o may_v again_o recover_v their_o blessing_n and_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o curse_n but_o this_o also_o be_v upon_o condition_n of_o their_o fly_v for_o refuge_n to_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n do_v that_o thing_n which_o the_o say_a law_n do_v require_v to_o be_v

their_o liberty_n as_o though_o they_o be_v bind_v of_o such_o professor_n you_o may_v hear_v the_o worst_a say_v we_o be_v persuade_v that_o he_o be_v no_o hypocrite_n if_o there_o be_v one_o among_o

and_o will_v my_o quit_n of_o it_o make_v they_o have_v the_o better_a thought_n of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n than_o i_o be_o bind_v by_o this_o rule_n to_o shun_v this_o way_n and_o choose_v some_o other_o our_o fifth_z general_z rule_n be_v whatsoever_o thing_n be_v honest_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v just_a think_v on_o these_o thing_n the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o rule_n be_v that_o a_o

that_o i_o be_o to_o choose_v that_o thing_n walk_v in_o that_o way_n which_o be_v near_a to_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o honesty_n and_o justice_n the_o question_n here_o will_v be_v what_o the_o

and_o a_o corrupt_a law_n may_v authorise_v those_o act_n as_o just_a which_o in_o themselves_o be_v sinful_a and_o punish_v as_o unjust_a even_a righteousness_n itself_o 3_o not_o my_o suppose_n myself_o willing_a that_o another_o shall_v do_v by_o i_o as_o i_o do_v by_o another_o this_o be_v not_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o man_n heart_n which_o be_v deceitful_a above_o all_o thing_n and_o so_o desperate_o wicked_a as_o none_o can_v know_v it_o do_v leave_v a_o person_n under_o manifold_a mistake_n here_o and_o a_o man_n do_v oft_o think_v that_o

man_n do_v never_o take_v so_o deep_o into_o his_o consideration_n that_o case_n which_o be_v another_o as_o he_o do_v and_o will_v do_v his_o own_o if_o the_o case_n be_v another_o a_o overly_o and_o

in_o it_o he_o will_v view_v it_o in_o every_o aggravation_n one_o while_o he_o will_v consider_v the_o person_n that_o do_v it_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n which_o may_v aggravate_v it_o therein_o another_o while_o the_o time_n if_o any_o thing_n may_v be_v find_v therein_o to_o aggravate_v another_o while_o he_o will_v be_v call_v to_o remembrance_n other_o injury_n if_o there_o be_v any_o and_o by_o these_o help_n to_o aggravate_v the_o present_a case_n now_o suppose_v the_o case_n itself_o to_o be_v small_a yet_o in_o the_o aggravation_n which_o a_o man_n in_o his_o own_o case_n will_v diligent_o consider_v of_o it_o may_v grow_v to_o be_v great_a but_o this_o a_o man_n will_v not_o do_v in_o another_o case_n as_o he_o that_o do_v another_o work_n to_o make_v quick_a work_n and_o put_v himself_o to_o as_o little_a toil_n as_o may_v be_v will_v post_v and_o slubber_v it_o over_o so_o he_o that_o consider_v another_o case_n 2_o a_o man_n be_v not_o know_v what_o indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n he_o will_v be_v willing_a another_o shall_v do_v by_o he_o we_o think_v we_o know_v our_o heart_n in_o this_o business_n exceed_v well_o but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o trial_n

not_o be_v willing_a that_o another_o shall_v do_v that_o thing_n to_o it_o which_o have_v but_o the_o least_o of_o evil_n in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v in_o this_o sense_n that_o christ_n who_o know_v
