offering_n of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n once_o for_o all_o heb._n 10._o now_o its_o great_a consolation_n to_o we_o we_o be_v not_o to_o make_v a_o purchase_n by_o our_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n we_o be_v not_o to_o obey_v as_o pay_v a_o price_n for_o our_o inheritance_n that_o be_v do_v already_o and_o by_o faith_n we_o do_v but_o receive_v and_o by_o obedience_n walk_v worthy_a of_o or_o answerable_a to_o the_o kingdom_n and_o glory_n whereunto_o we_o be_v call_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n 2._o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n here_o if_o you_o take_v it_o for_o work_n only_o be_v not_o that_o whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v but_o that_o which_o do_v justify_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o by_o which_o our_o faith_n be_v make_v perfect_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v concern_v abraham_n james_n 2.22_o it_o be_v not_o that_o which_o do_v give_v we_o our_o title_n to_o heaven_n but_o do_v prove_v that_o we_o have_v a_o title_n give_v we_o 3._o as_o to_o such_o thing_n as_o we_o will_v do_v but_o can_v god_n will_v accept_v the_o will_n for_o the_o deed_n provide_v we_o be_v as_o willing_a to_o do_v as_o to_o will_v the_o deed_n thus_o abraham_n be_v say_v to_o have_v offer_v up_o his_o son_n because_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o consolation_n the_o apostle_n have_v when_o to_o will_n be_v present_a with_o he_o but_o to_o do_v he_o have_v no_o power_n that_o with_o his_o mind_n he_o do_v serve_v the_o law_n or_o the_o will_n of_o god_n rom._n 7._o the_o saint_n can_v do_v the_o thing_n that_o they_o will_v because_o the_o flesh_n lu_v against_o the_o spirit_n gal._n 5.17_o and_o in_o such_o a_o case_n christ_n do_v excuse_v his_o disciple_n with_o this_o the_o spirit_n indeed_o mark_v that_o the_o spirit_n indeed_o be_v willing_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v weak_a matth._n 26.41_o and_o upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v that_o christ_n tell_v his_o father_n john_n 17.6_o that_o his_o disciple_n have_v keep_v his_o word_n though_o they_o fail_v very_o often_o because_o their_o heart_n be_v to_o it_o 4._o by_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n here_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v such_o a_o exactness_n as_o will_v not_o dispense_v with_o any_o fail_n that_o if_o a_o man_n fall_v short_a in_o any_o thing_n he_o shall_v perish_v and_o be_v undo_v according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o law_n curse_a be_v he_o that_o confirm_v not_o all_o the_o word_n of_o this_o law_n to_o do_v they_o deut._n 27.26_o or_o as_o the_o apostle_n quote_v it_o gal._n 3.10_o curse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v they_o for_o from_o this_o rigour_n and_o curse_n we_o be_v free_a by_o christ_n jesus_n he_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o we_o gal._n 3.13_o but_o that_o which_o be_v require_v of_o we_o hereby_o be_v a_o continual_a care_n of_o do_v and_o make_v it_o our_o business_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o i_o make_v appear_v thus_o mat._n 7.13_o say_v christ_n enter_v in_o at_o the_o strait_a gate_n i_o it_o be_v soon_o say_v enter_v in_o but_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n why_o luke_n as_o i_o say_v before_o expound_v it_o thus_o strive_v to_o enter_v in_o at_o the_o strait_a gate_n so_o that_o strive_v be_v put_v for_o enter_v because_o such_o shall_v enter_v and_o the_o apostle_n peter_n with_o respect_n to_o this_o kingdom_n express_v the_o duty_n by_o give_v all_o diligence_n 2_o pet._n 1.11_o wherefore_o the_o rather_o brethren_n give_v diligence_n to_o
