do euer include in them a secret exception of earnest repentance and fayth in Christes precious blood For els Peter denied and yet repented Many Publicans and sinners were vnkind vnmerciful and hard harted to their fellow seruantes and yet many of them repented by fayth were saued c. The grace of Christ Iesus worke in vs earnest repentance and fayth in him vnfaigned Amen Briefly to know when the Law speaketh and when the Gospel speaketh and to discerne the voyce of the one from the voyce of the other this may serue for a note that when there is any mortall worke commanded to be done either for eschewing of punishment or vpon promise of any rewarde temporall or eternall eyther els when any promise is made with condition of any worke commaunded in the Law there is to be vnderstanded the voyce of the Law Contrarily where the promise of lyfe and saluation is offered vnto vs freely without all our merites and simply without any condition annexed of any Law either naturall ceremonial or morall all these places whether they be reade in the olde Testament or in the new are to be referred to the voyce doctrine of the Gospel And this promise of God freely made to vs by the merites of Iesus Christ so long before prophecied to vs in the olde Testament and afterwardes exhibited in the new Testament and now requiring nothing but our fayth in the sonne of God is called properly the voyce of the Gospel and disscreth from the voyce of the Law in this that it hath no condition adioyned of our meriting but only respecteth the merites of Christ the sonne of God By whose fayth only we are promised of God to be saued iustified according as we reade Rom. 3. The righteousnes of God commeth by Fayth of Iesus Christ in all and vpon all that do beleeue c. The seconde Caution or danger to be auoyded is that we now knowing how to discerne rightly betweene the Law the Gospel and hauing intelligence not to mistake the one from the other we must take heede againe that we breake not the order betweene these two taking applying the Law where the Gospel is to be applyed either to our selues or towardes others For albeit the Law and the Gospel many times are to be ioyned togeather in order of doctrine yet case may fal some times that the Law must be utterly sequestred from the Gospel as when any person or persons do feele them selues with the maiestie of the Law and iudgement of God so terrified and oppressed and with the burden of their sinnes ouerwayed and throwen downe into vtter discomfort and almost euen to the pit of hell as it happeneth many times to soft timerous consciences euen to Gods good seruants when such mortified harres do heare either in preaching or in reading any such example or place of the Scripture which pertayneth to the law let them thinke the same nothing to belong to them no more then a mourning weede belongeth to a mariage feast And therfore remouing vtterly out of their mindes all cogitation of the Law of feare of iudgemeut and condemnation let them onely set before their eyes the Gospel the sweete comfort of Gods promises free forgiuenes of sinnes in Christ grace redemption liberty reioycing Psalmes thankes singing and a paradice of spiritual iocunditie nothing els thinking thus with them selues that the law hath done his office in them already now must needes geue rome to Christ the sonne of God who is the Lord maister the fulfiller also the finisher of the law for the ende of the law is Christ. Rō 10. The third danger to be auoyded is that we do not use or apply on the contrary side the Gospel in steade of the Law For as the other before was euen as much as to put on a mourning gowne in the feast of a mariage so is this but euen to cast Pearles before Swine wherein is a great abuse among many For commonly it is seene that these worldly Epicures and secure Momanistes to whom the doctrine of the Law doth properly appertaine doe receaue apply to them selues most principally the sweete promises of the Gospel and contrariwise the other contrite brused hartes to whom belongeth only the ioyfull tydinges of the Gospel and not the Law for the most part receaue retaine to them selues the terrible voyce sentences of the law wherby it commeth to passe that many do reioyce where they should mourne And on the other side many do feare and mourne where they neede not Wherefore to conclude in priuate use of life let euery person discreetly discerne betweene the Law and the Gospel and apply aptly to him selfe that which he seeth conuenient And againe in publique order of doctrine let euery discreete Preacher put a difference betweene the broken harts of the mourning sinners the unrepentant worldlinges and so conioyne both the Law with the Gospel and the Gospel with the Law that in throwing downe the wicked euer he spare the weake harted and againe so spare the weake that he do not encorage the ungodly And thus much concerning the coniunction difference betweene the Law and the Gospel upon the occasion of M.
