god_n many_o enormous_a sin_n have_v never_o be_v commit_v neither_o will_v the_o people_n so_o familiar_o shift_v their_o religion_n at_o the_o beck_n of_o their_o superior_a but_o above_o all_o

of_o the_o law_n and_o come_v to_o fulfil_v it_o to_o shadow_v this_o double_a consideration_n the_o decalogue_n be_v clothe_v with_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n wherein_o the_o offerer_n impose_v hand_n upon_o the_o sacrifice_n do_v confess_v himself_o guilty_a and_o the_o slay_v of_o the_o beast_n show_v the_o desert_n of_o a_o sinner_n thus_o there_o appear_v what_o be_v the_o natural_a power_n of_o the_o law_n the_o supernatural_a power_n also_o appear_v in_o the_o ceremony_n in_o that_o the_o offerer_n unburthen_v himself_o upon_o the_o sacrifice_n as_o a_o sinner_n do_v upon_o our_o

that_o we_o know_v not_o of_o what_o kind_n the_o covenant_n be_v we_o must_v therefore_o discern_v the_o inequality_n of_o the_o person_n that_o have_v contract_v and_o we_o must_v confess_v how_o

of_o the_o nature_n difference_n and_o degree_n of_o sin_n he_o must_v be_v well_o conversant_a in_o the_o decalogue_n he_o must_v not_o trust_v to_o moral_a philosophy_n to_o civil_a constitution_n and_o custom_n to_o pharisaical_a or_o papistical_a tradition_n these_o be_v but_o imperfect_a guide_n in_o such_o inquiry_n only_a god_n covenant_n can_v tell_v what_o be_v and_o what_o be_v not_o
