contrary_a to_o his_o godly_a will_n furthermore_o where_o they_o say_v christian_n be_v make_v free_a therefore_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v thus_o true_a it_o be_v christian_n be_v make_v free_a from_o the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o law_n from_o sin_n and_o hell_n but_o not_o so_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n it_o may_v be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o

then_o if_o christian_n have_v no_o law_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o they_o neither_o have_v any_o sin_n beside_o this_o christ_n himself_o and_o the_o apostle_n do_v exhort_v all_o

the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v they_o teach_v christian_n therefore_o they_o need_v not_o the_o law_n o_o how_o foolish_a and_o frivolous_a a_o argument_n be_v this_o they_o shall_v rather_o have_v conclude_v thus_o the_o holy_a ghost_n teach_v christian_n therefore_o we_o need_v teacher_n and_o the_o word_n namely_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v then_o teach_v and_o move_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n when_o the_o word_n be_v receive_v by_o y_z e_z ear_n in_o which_o word_n the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v be_v of_o force_n in_o those_o which_o hear_v it_o and_o

before_o god_n and_o merit_v eternal_a life_n the_o falseness_n of_o this_o opinion_n i_o will_v in_o such_o wise_a show_n by_o manifest_a demonstration_n that_o every_o one_o may_v easy_o perceyve_v that_o no_o man_n amongst_o all_o man_n the_o only_a man_n jesu_n christ_n except_v be_v able_a to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god._n the_o condition_n of_o humane_a nature_n in_o all_o man_n yield_v unto_o we_o the_o first_o argument_n of_o this_o our_o asseveration_n the_o same_o be_v such_o that_o all_o man_n even_o from_o the_o very_a nativity_n be_v unpure_a unclean_a and_o thrall_n unto_o

law_n of_o god_n but_o all_o man_n only_a jesv_n christ_n except_v which_o from_o the_o law_n of_o birth_n customable_a and_o common_a to_o nature_n be_v exempt_v be_v by_o nature_n unclean_a therefore_o no_o mortal_a man_n can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god._n the_o second_o argument_n whereby_o it_o be_v convince_v that_o no_o man_n can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v take_v of_o

notwithstanding_o the_o judgement_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n be_v against_o themselves_o which_o although_o it_o lie_v hide_v from_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v evident_a and_o lie_v open_a unto_o god_n which_o see_v wey_v and_o tri_v all_o the_o cogitation_n and_o affection_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n the_o three_o argument_n whereby_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o no_o mortal_a man_n can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v require_v of_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n who_o condemn_v only_o the_o guilty_a and_o the_o transgressor_n of_o his_o divine_a law_n and_o

do_v all_o fall_v in_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n who_o do_v not_o hereby_o easy_o perceive_v and_o without_o doubt_n conclude_v that_o all_o man_n be_v guilty_a and_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n so_o that_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n they_o can_v attain_v no_o righteousness_n the_o four_o argument_n be_v take_v of_o the_o contrariety_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n for_o the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a but_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v carnal_a which_o thing_n paul_n prove_v rom._n 7._o where_o he_o say_v we_o know_v that_o the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a but_o i_o be_o carnal_a sell_v under_o sin_n that_o be_v to_o say_v i_o be_o so_o subject_a unto_o sin_n that_o i_o be_o never_o so_o free_a from_o it_o that_o i_o may_v fulfil_v the_o spiritual_a law_n of_o god_n but_o i_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n which_o for_o my_o sake_n have_v abundant_o perform_v all_o that_o which_o i_o myself_o can_v not_o perform_v this_o argument_n paul_n handle_v at_o large_a in_o the_o chapter_n even_o now_o cite_v of_o us._n the_o first_o argument_n whereby_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o no_o mortal_a man_n can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o voice_n of_o god_n himself_o do_v offer_v we_o in_o moses_n the_o psalm_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o so_o forth_o in_o

abound_v above_o sin_n neither_o be_v the_o hugeness_n of_o this_o sin_n so_o great_a but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o our_o lord_n jesu_n christ_n be_v a_o thousand_o fold_n great_a and_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o god_n will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n 28._o but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v convert_v &_o live_v i_o affirm_v this_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v forgive_v to_o all_o those_o which_o do_v earnest_o repent_v and_o desire_v forgiveness_n for_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o christ_n do_v manifest_o teach_v this_o sin_n not_o to_o be_v remit_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n neither_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v therefore_o this_o sin_n seem_v to_o be_v great_a than_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n god_n forbid_v yea_o far_o of_o be_v that_o it_o be_v most_o firm_o to_o be_v believe_v that_o y_o e_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v far_o abound_v above_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n why_o then_o be_v it_o not_o forgive_v to_o this_o paul_n hebr._n 6._o make_v answer_v because_o they_o can_v be_v renew_v again_o by_o repentance_n and_o that_o for_o this_o cause_n because_o they_o have_v utter_o deny_v the_o true_a foundation_n of_o repentance_n namely_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n without_o the_o which_o neither_o any_o healthful_a repentance_n or_o conversion_n by_o faith_n can_v be_v make_v unto_o god_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o other_o sacrifice_n which_o without_o this_o alone_a be_v able_a to_o take_v away_o sin_n repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n say_v christ_n must_v be_v preach_v in_o my_o name_n wherefore_o whosoever_o do_v repent_v and_o with_o a_o sure_a faith_n embrace_v christ_n and_o his_o sacrifice_n do_v most_o assure_o by_o faith_n obtain_v forgiveness_n this_o sin_n be_v therefore_o call_v irremissible_a because_o that_o they_o which_o commit_v the_o same_o do_v for_o the_o most_o part_n continue_v in_o their_o wicked_a purpose_n and_o never_o fly_v to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n for_o he_o which_o embrace_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v not_o final_o renounce_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n which_o alone_o remain_v the_o cleanser_n away_o of_o all_o sin_n these_o thing_n i_o purpose_v brief_o to_o speak_v concern_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o i_o perceive_v many_o in_o this_o behalf_n to_o be_v not_o right_o instruct_v and_o few_o hetherunto_o to_o have_v right_o judge_v and_o plain_o to_o have_v write_v of_o this_o matter_n the_o third_o benefit_n it_o have_v be_v speak_v hetherunto_o of_o the_o second_o benefit_n of_o christ_n namely_o that_o he_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n but_o this_o suffice_v not_o unless_o we_o also_o become_v righteouse_a for_o inasmuch_o as_o righteousness_n be_v the_o very_a way_n to_o everlasting_a life_n no_o man_n ever_o obteyn_v the_o same_o but_o he_o which_o be_v righteous_a therefore_o christ_n say_v if_o thou_o will_v enter_v into_o life_n keep_v the_o commandment_n but_o to_o keep_v the_o commandment_n be_v to_o declare_v himself_o righteous_a according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o albeit_o no_o man_n fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o we_o before_o have_v show_v neither_o obtain_v righteousness_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o the_o will_n of_o god_n remain_v
