as_o parley_v with_o they_o about_o any_o term_n of_o peace_n and_o that_o god_n for_o one_o sin_n in_o adam_n shall_v condemn_v all_o mankind_n you_o all_o grant_v this_o in_o the_o general_a yea_o further_o that_o god_n the_o father_n shall_v deal_v so_o with_o his_o own_o son_n the_o son_n of_o his_o love_n as_o to_o make_v he_o a_o curse_n for_o man_n and_o shall_v lay_v the_o weight_n of_o his_o wrath_n upon_o he_o so_o as_o to_o make_v he_o sweat_v drop_n of_o blood_n and_o to_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o for_o saken_a i_o if_o you_o have_v never_o hear_v of_o such_o a_o thing_n this_o will_v seem_v as_o hard_o as_o any_o thing_n we_o have_v speak_v of_o now_o before_o we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o other_o let_v that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v teach_v we_o that_o sure_o then_o all_o man_n in_o their_o natural_a condition_n be_v in_o a_o hard_a case_n as_o the_o israelite_n when_o the_o bondage_n they_o be_v in_o under_o pharaoh_n increase_v upon_o they_o the_o text_n say_v they_o see_v themselves_o in_o a_o evil_a case_n o_o that_o upon_o the_o hear_n of_o these_o thing_n you_o will_v learn_v to_o see_v what_o you_o be_v out_o of_o

such_o a_o bondage_n to_o the_o law_n then_o the_o save_n of_o a_o soul_n be_v a_o great_a and_o a_o mighty_a work_n yea_o such_o a_o work_n that_o god_n must_v make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o move_v to_o save_v a_o soul_n and_o to_o deliver_v it_o from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n the_o reason_n why_o people_n do_v so_o slight_a this_o great_a work_n of_o salvation_n and_o mediation_n by_o christ_n be_v because_o they_o know_v not_o their_o bondage_n understand_v but_o this_o bondage_n aright_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v under_o the_o law_n i_o have_v not_o tell_v you_o all_o this_o

you_o will_v see_v it_o be_v a_o great_a work_n to_o save_v a_o soul_n three_o you_o may_v see_v by_o this_o how_o that_o vain_a plea_n of_o carnal_a heart_n come_v to_o nothing_o what_o will_v you_o trust_v now_o to_o your_o good_a meaning_n good_a desire_n and_o good_a intention_n and_o you_o will_v mourn_v and_o grieve_v because_o you_o be_v no_o better_o and_o you_o will_v do_v what_o you_o can_v for_o god_n it_o be_v true_a these_o be_v good_a thing_n but_o be_v these_o the_o thing_n you_o rest_v in_o for_o stand_v before_o god_n if_o they_o be_v certain_o you_o know_v not_o the_o term_n you_o stand_v in_o to_o god_n nor_o what_o your_o bondage_n be_v four_o if_o god_n reveal_v himself_o to_o a_o man_n only_o by_o the_o law_n it_o be_v impossible_a but_o the_o soul_n of_o that_o man_n must_v fly_v off_o from_o he_o and_o look_v upon_o god_n and_o his_o law_n as_o enemy_n to_o he_o unless_o it_o be_v reveal_v together_o with_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v that_o i_o be_o

suppose_v any_o of_o you_o shall_v do_v your_o utmost_a in_o any_o particular_a that_o god_n require_v you_o will_v say_v i_o hope_v if_o i_o do_v what_o i_o can_v god_n will_v accept_v it_o of_o i_o no_o you_o mistake_v exceed_o if_o you_o think_v so_o people_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o if_o the_o term_n between_o god_n and_o they_o be_v no_o other_o than_o thus_o god_n he_o

for_o the_o deed_n no_o god_n accept_v not_o the_o will_n for_o the_o deed_n in_o point_n of_o justification_n it_o be_v true_a in_o those_o that_o be_v already_o justify_v god_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o duty_n accept_v the_o will_n for_o the_o deed_n so_o as_o to_o take_v delight_n in_o they_o but_o in_o point_n of_o justification_n as_o to_o pardon_v of_o sin_n and_o acceptation_n to_o righteousness_n there_o he_o must_v have_v perfect_a obedience_n and_o though_o we_o endeavour_v never_o so_o much_o yet_o unless_o we_o can_v bring_v god_n a_o perfect_a righteousness_n we_o

notwithstanding_o all_o their_o righteousness_n if_o they_o have_v not_o have_v a_o righteousness_n beyond_o what_o be_v in_o themselves_o if_o they_o have_v not_o have_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n to_o tender_a to_o their_o father_n they_o have_v be_v utter_o lose_v for_o ever_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o thou_o to_o rest_v upon_o this_o that_o thou_o do_v what_o thou_o can_v and_o

but_o the_o work_n of_o god_n mercy_n in_o justify_v a_o soul_n be_v to_o take_v he_o off_o from_o himself_o to_o unbottome_n he_o and_o to_o make_v he_o see_v and_o be_v sensible_a of_o his_o own_o unrighteousness_n and_o uncleanness_n this_o be_v a_o great_a and_o mighty_a work_n of_o god_n mercy_n i_o remember_v luther_n say_v of_o himself_o that_o while_o he_o be_v a_o papist_n he_o be_v not_o obedient_a out_o of_o worldly_a respect_n for_o a_o livelihood_n and_o the_o like_a but_o he_o do_v what_o he_o do_v out_o of_o conscience_n and_o yet_o say_v he_o afterward_o after_o he_o

shall_v make_v up_o the_o rest_n no_o he_o be_v take_v off_o of_o that_o way_n it_o be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o mercy_n to_o do_v this_o but_o to_o discover_v to_o the_o soul_n a_o righteousness_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n even_o of_o the_o mediator_n god_n and_o man_n and_o to_o enable_v the_o soul_n by_o faith_n to_o tender_v up_o that_o righteousness_n to_o god_n the_o father_n for_o

be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a mistake_n and_o we_o have_v need_n be_v very_o wary_a in_o this_o great_a point_n of_o justification_n for_o all_o depend_v upon_o it_o i_o remember_v luther_n in_o this_o
