{non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o the_o new_a covenant_n vers._n 6._o now_o the_o covenant_n with_o israel_n may_v true_o be_v call_v old_a and_o be_v so_o indeed_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o covenant_n under_o the_o gospel_n for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o the_o legal_a part_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n lay_v down_o in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o table_n of_o stone_n be_v in_o substance_n all_o one_o with_o the_o first_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o man_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n the_o sum_n of_o both_o be_v that_o one_o thing_n do_v this_o and_o live_v second_o because_o the_o evangelical_a part_n of_o it_o which_o promise_v life_n and_o righteousness_n in_o christ_n the_o promise_a seed_n be_v give_v after_o the_o old_a manner_n as_o it_o be_v to_o the_o father_n before_o the_o law_n that_o be_v in_o general_a dark_a and_o obscure_a promise_n and_o do_v show_v christ_n only_o afar_o off_o to_o come_v in_o the_o latter_a age_n of_o the_o world_n but_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v every_o way_n new_a it_o be_v make_v with_o we_o after_o a_o new_a manner_n it_o show_v christ_n already_o come_v and_o that_o most_o plain_o and_o it_o have_v no_o relic_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n of_o work_n in_o it_o but_o teach_v justification_n by_o faith_n without_o work_n even_o by_o communion_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o righteousness_n alone_o without_o any_o concurrence_n of_o our_o own_o righteousness_n and_o work_n of_o the_o law_n concur_v for_o justification_n another_o difference_n which_o the_o apostle_n 4._o make_v between_o these_o covenant_n be_v that_o the_o one_o be_v the_o letter_n the_o other_o the_o spirit_n for_o so_o he_o affirm_v ver._n 6_o now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v two_o especial_o the_o first_o reason_n why_o the_o covenant_n with_o israel_n be_v call_v the_o letter_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o spirit_n be_v because_o moses_n who_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o covenant_n with_o israel_n do_v give_v only_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v the_o law_n and_o the_o covenant_n write_v in_o table_n and_o in_o letter_n but_o he_o can_v not_o give_v the_o spirit_n to_o make_v they_o understand_v the_o covenant_n nor_o any_o inward_a grace_n and_o ability_n to_o make_v they_o keep_v it_o but_o christ_n the_o mediator_n by_o who_o ministry_n the_o covenant_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v give_v have_v also_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o himself_o without_o measure_n which_o spirit_n he_o by_o his_o word_n and_o together_o with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o covenant_n send_v into_o our_o heart_n and_o enable_v we_o to_o believe_v and_o to_o keep_v the_o covenant_n and_o as_o john_n the_o baptist_n compare_v himself_o and_o his_o ministry_n with_o the_o ministry_n of_o christ_n say_v i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n but_o he_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n that_o be_v i_o give_v only_o the_o outward_a sign_n but_o he_o give_v the_o inward_a grace_n so_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o moses_n and_o christ_n that_o moses_n give_v only_o the_o letter_n or_o writing_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o christ_n give_v the_o word_n and_o with_o it_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n also_o
which_o make_v it_o effectual_a to_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o the_o covenant_n as_o it_o proceed_v from_o moses_n and_o come_v by_o his_o ministry_n be_v but_o a_o letter_n but_o that_o which_o christ_n give_v as_o mediator_n be_v the_o spirit_n another_o reason_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o manner_n of_o give_v moses_n give_v the_o covenant_n write_v in_o letter_n which_o many_o can_v see_v but_o can_v not_o read_v and_o many_o can_v read_v and_o can_v not_o understand_v and_o many_o can_v understand_v literal_o after_o a_o natural_a and_o carnal_a manner_n according_a to_o the_o proper_a literal_a sense_n but_o they_o can_v not_o understand_v the_o word_n spiritual_o according_a to_o the_o spiritual_a sense_n they_o can_v not_o see_v nor_o discern_v the_o true_a scope_n end_n and_o use_v of_o the_o word_n but_o christ_n do_v preach_v the_o covenant_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o a_o lively_a voice_n in_o word_n easy_a to_o be_v understand_v which_o do_v not_o only_o sound_v in_o the_o ear_n but_o also_o pierce_v into_o the_o heart_n and_o spirit_n of_o the_o hearer_n and_o do_v show_v not_o only_o the_o matter_n but_o also_o the_o manner_n end_n and_o use_v of_o every_o thing_n and_o how_o the_o law_n and_o commandment_n do_v not_o only_o bind_v the_o outward_a man_n and_o require_v the_o outward_a act_n but_o also_o do_v bind_v the_o inward_a man_n even_o the_o soul_n and_o spirit_n and_o do_v require_v all_o holy_a thought_n motion_n and_o disposition_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n and_o thus_o the_o word_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n be_v fit_a instrument_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n do_v work_v powerful_o by_o they_o another_o difference_n lay_v down_o by_o 5._o the_o apostle_n verse_n 13_o 14_o 18._o be_v that_o there_o be_v

of_o righteousness_n and_o utter_o unable_a to_o perform_v righteousness_n they_o may_v be_v drive_v out_o of_o themselves_o and_o so_o prepare_v to_o receive_v christ_n and_o embrace_v his_o

even_o as_o the_o papist_n do_v at_o this_o day_n think_v that_o god_n will_v never_o have_v command_v they_o to_o do_v the_o law_n if_o he_o have_v not_o know_v that_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o do_v it_o as_o he_o command_v and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o the_o obscurity_n of_o that_o covenant_n the_o second_o cause_n be_v the_o mixture_n of_o the_o legal_a part_n of_o
