in_o his_o suggestion_n that_o this_o doctrine_n as_o it_o be_v teach_v by_o i_o be_v derogatory_n to_o or_o lay_v imperfection_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o if_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n he_o mean_v the_o moysaicall_a law_n then_o though_o from_o christ_n own_o word_n i_o conclude_v that_o he_o come_v to_o fill_v it_o up_o or_o perfect_v it_o and_o so_o that_o it_o have_v in_o it_o before_o vacuity_n and_o imperfection_n yet_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o treatise_n of_o will-worship_n be_v no_o way_n found_v or_o concern_v in_o that_o as_o for_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n under_o which_o as_o well_o as_o under_o the_o law_n of_o the_o jew_n some_o thing_n be_v leave_v free_a and_o uncommand_v and_o consequent_o i_o affirm_v it_o possible_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o do_v something_o which_o be_v not_o command_v he_o i_o never_o accuse_v that_o of_o imperfection_n but_o do_v without_o all_o doubt_a suppose_v it_o to_o be_v a_o perfect_a codex_fw-la of_o command_n to_o which_o god_n will_v never_o add_v more_o and_o when_o i_o have_v do_v so_o i_o find_v this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o christian_n voluntary_a oblation_n in_o this_o perfection_n not_o imperfection_n of_o this_o law_n viz._n that_o even_o in_o the_o great_a perfection_n there_o be_v a_o latitude_n and_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o that_o latitude_n be_v not_o under_o precept_n a_o 2_o way_n of_o

for_o such_o pharisee_n but_o of_o all_o other_o think_v christian_n oblige_v to_o use_v all_o diligence_n to_o avert_v this_o shipwreck_n and_o yet_o 3._o the_o apostle_n himself_o both_o by_o his_o

be_v very_o far_o from_o that_o scorn_n and_o pride_n in_o all_o pharisee_n which_o make_v they_o discriminate_a themselves_o from_o other_o man_n the_o 3_o way_n he_o mention_n be_v with_o respect_n
