in_o the_o old_a testament_n all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a lawful_a what_o be_v that_o be_v lawful_a what_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n be_v lawful_a when_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v neither_o command_v nor_o

all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a he_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o thing_n leave_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o be_v neither_o command_v nor_o forbid_v by_o the_o lord_n misunderstand_v i_o not_o thing_n sin_n in_o do_v of_o lawful_a thing_n you_o sin_v when_o you_o do_v unexpedient_a thing_n and_o than_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v be_v it_o not_o lawful_a no_o though_o the_o thing_n in_o particular_a be_v not_o unlawful_a yet_o you_o sin_n in_o that_o you_o cross_v a_o general_a rule_n that_o be_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v lawful_a yet_o you_o be_v not_o to_o do_v they_o in_o extreme_n as_o for_o instance_n you_o may_v marry_v yet_o you_o may_v sin_v in_o marry_v not_o that_o you_o cross_v a_o particular_a command_n for_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o

have_v all_o liberty_n by_o that_o but_o hold_v all_o thing_n be_v not_o expedient_a though_o it_o be_v lawful_a yet_o look_v not_o only_o to_o that_o but_o see_v that_o it_o be_v expedient_a and_o so_o if_o you_o look_v to_o the_o rule_n of_o expediency_n you_o will_v walk_v a_o hundred_o time_n strict_a than_o man_n that_o only_o look_v what_o be_v lawful_a and_o what_o be_v not_o alice_n thing_n that_o be_v divers_a thing_n be_v not_o expedient_a be_v not_o that_o be_v they_o be_v not_o so_o altogether_o always_o in_o all_o place_n to_o all_o person_n all_o thing_n in_o all_o place_n at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o circumstance_n be_v not_o expedient_a for_o all_o person_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o almost_o but_o in_o some_o place_n and_o at_o some_o time_n what_o

thing_n be_v not_o expedient_a there_o be_v three_o lesson_n that_o i_o mean_v to_o observe_v from_o these_o word_n and_o which_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v i_o intend_v to_o open_a to_o you_o first_o you_o may_v learn_v this_o that_o the_o saint_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n they_o be_v not_o so_o strict_o bind_v in_o point_n of_o lawfulness_n as_o the_o saint_n be_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o second_o be_v this_o that_o the_o saint_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v as_o strict_o or_o rather_o more_o strict_o bind_v in_o point_n of_o expediency_n than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o you_o shall_v seldom_o read_v of_o expediency_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n but_o if_o a_o thing_n be_v lawful_a for_o the_o generality_n they_o may_v do_v it_o three_o you_o may_v learn_v this_o lesson_n that_o if_o a_o christian_a will_v walk_v honourable_o and_o spiritual_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n he_o must_v not_o only_o so_o much_o eye_n what_o be_v lawful_a as_o what_o be_v expedient_a these_o three_o thing_n be_v teach_v here_o as_o i_o apprehend_v in_o the_o word_n and_o of_o these_o let_v i_o this_o day_n only_o open_v a_o little_a of_o the_o former_a for_o you_o must_v take_v they_o together_o you_o must_v not_o without_o wrong_n to_o your_o own_o soul_n and_o dishonour_n to_o god_n take_v one_o doctrine_n and_o not_o all_o but_o hear_v all_o and_o without_o prejudice_n compare_v all_o and_o weigh_v and_o try_v they_o the_o first_o observation_n doct._n 1_o old_a that_o s_n it_o be_v in_o the_o new-testament_n be_v not_o so_o strict_o bind_v in_o point_n of_o lawfulness_n as_o in_o the_o old_a or_o doctrine_n be_v that_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o point_n of_o lawfulness_n be_v not_o so_o strict_o bind_v as_o the_o saint_n be_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v lawful_a for_o the_o saint_n to_o do_v that_o be_v not_o lawful_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n or_o there_o be_v a_o great_a latitude_n there_o be_v more_o space_n for_o a_o christian_a for_o a_o believer_n in_o his_o walk_n and_o conversation_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o there_o be_v in_o the_o old_a belove_a there_o be_v some_o truth_n in_o this_o that_o you_o may_v apprehend_v present_o for_o go_v no_o further_o than_o these_o very_a question_n that_o be_v here_o ask_v it_o seem_v that_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n all_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o lawful_a it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o eat_v all_o kind_n of_o flesh_n no_o flesh_n that_o be_v defile_v that_o be_v offer_v to_o idol_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o eat_v swine_n flesh_n and_o divers_a other_o thing_n now_o all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a every_o creature_n of_o god_n be_v good_a if_o they_o have_v unbelieving_a wife_n strange_a wife_n ezra_n 9_o nehem._n 9_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o keep_v they_o they_o must_v drive_v they_o away_o and_o their_o child_n but_o now_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o unbelieving_a wife_n to_o remain_v with_o she_o i_o say_v there_o be_v somewhat_o that_o you_o present_o see_v that_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o point_n of_o lawfulness_n be_v not_o so_o strict_o and_o absolute_o bind_v up_o as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o old_a i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o few_o
