temporal_a blessing_n i_o confess_v that_o by_o the_o ancient_a promise_n from_o the_o beginning_n gen._n 3._o renew_v gen._n 17._o they_o have_v all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o christ_n for_o so_o

and_o save_v yet_o second_o i_o say_v that_o according_a to_o this_o subservient_fw-fr covenant_n and_o administration_n as_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v they_o differ_v nothing_o at_o all_o from_o servant_n they_o be_v upon_o do_v their_o work_n and_o have_v their_o wage_n they_o be_v upon_o neglect_n of_o their_o task_n to_o be_v punish_v or_o thrust_v out_o of_o door_n they_o have_v great_a reward_n of_o glorious_a prosperity_n upon_o performance_n they_o have_v sore_a affliction_n and_o calamity_n upon_o the_o neglect_n thereof_o now_o three_o the_o question_n may_v be_v how_o this_o subservient_fw-fr covenant_n can_v consist_v with_o the_o promise_n of_o all_o blessing_n in_o christ_n i_o answer_v very_o well_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v observe_v the_o right_a time_n namely_o that_o the_o child_n at_o the_o same_o time_n whilst_o he_o be_v a_o child_n may_v be_v lord_n of_o all_o yet_o in_o all_o administration_n towards_o he_o he_o may_v differ_v nothing_o at_o all_o from_o a_o servant_n if_o indeed_o you_o take_v the_o heir_n when_o he_o be_v come_v to_o age_n and_o then_o make_v he_o differ_v nothing_o from_o a_o servant_n than_o it_o be_v apparent_a you_o destroy_v his_o heirship_n and_o alienate_v the_o inheritance_n from_o he_o but_o whilst_o he_o be_v a_o child_n say_v the_o apostle_n he_o differ_v nothing_o at_o all_o from_o a_o servant_n though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o even_o so_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o our_o father_n before_o christ_n and_o we_o as_o the_o apostle_n himself_o appli_v the_o comparison_n but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v conceive_v may_v some_o say_v can_v they_o be_v bless_v and_o accurse_a at_o the_o same_o time_n can_v they_o be_v perfect_o justify_v and_o yet_o sin_n charge_v upon_o they_o at_o the_o same_o time_n this_o be_v the_o main_a difficulty_n at_o which_o so_o many_o stumble_v i_o shall_v therefore_o desire_v the_o christian_a reader_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o be_v say_v and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o lord_n will_v afford_v light_n for_o a_o solution_n hereof_o according_a to_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o blessing_n and_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n as_o they_o have_v reference_n to_o this_o subservient_fw-fr covenant_n that_o the_o great_a blessing_n may_v have_v a_o real_a curse_n under_o it_o and_o the_o great_a curse_n may_v have_v a_o real_a blessing_n under_o it_o and_o so_o their_o outward_a justification_n may_v have_v a_o real_a charge_n of_o sin_n upon_o they_o and_o their_o outward_a charge_v of_o sin_n may_v veil_v a_o spiritual_a real_a and_o invisible_a discharge_n and_o justification_n from_o sin_n this_o will_v be_v more_o easy_o conceive_v if_o we_o remember_v two_o thing_n 1._o that_o this_o subservient_fw-fr covenant_n be_v carnal_a it_o consist_v say_v the_o apostle_n in_o carnal_a ordinance_n heb._n 9.10_o serve_v to_o the_o purify_n of_o the_o flesh_n ver_fw-la 13._o it_o consist_v in_o the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v elsewhere_o 2._o this_o

and_o second_o a_o typical_a charge_v of_o sin_n will_v not_o prove_v a_o real_a charge_n of_o sin_n upon_o the_o same_o subject_n as_o upon_o the_o scape-goat_n it_o do_v only_o signify_v the_o
