enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o man_n by_o way_n of_o condescension_n &_o make_v promise_n unto_o he_o to_o confirm_v he_o in_o his_o hope_n and_o confidence_n in_o he_o or_o enter_v into_o a_o promise_n with_o man_n for_o it_o may_v be_v think_v a_o imperfection_n and_o hereby_o god_n may_v seem_v to_o lose_v his_o right_n that_o he_o can_v do_v what_o he_o will_n but_o this_o may_v be_v easy_o answer_v for_o if_o god_n can_v give_v good_a thing_n to_o man_n he_o may_v also_o promise_v to_o give_v they_o and_o therefore_o both_o to_o give_v and_o to_o promise_v to_o give_v be_v act_n of_o liberality_n and_o dominion_n and_o so_o not_o repugn_v to_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n nor_o do_v god_n by_o promise_v to_o give_v lose_v his_o dominion_n no_o more_o than_o he_o do_v by_o give_v it_o be_v true_a a_o promise_n do_v induce_v a_o obligation_n and_o so_o in_o man_n it_o be_v with_o some_o imperfection_n but_o in_o god_n it_o be_v not_o because_o he_o do_v not_o hereby_o become_v oblige_v to_o we_o but_o to_o his_o own_o self_n so_o that_o we_o have_v not_o a_o right_a of_o justice_n to_o the_o thing_n because_o god_n have_v promise_v it_o to_o we_o but_o only_o god_n can_v deny_v himself_o nor_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v confident_a and_o so_o aquinas_n well_o deus_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la debtor_n quia_fw-la ad_fw-la alia_fw-la non_fw-la ordinatur_fw-la sed_fw-la omne_fw-la ad_fw-la ipsum_fw-la god_n by_o covenant_v and_o promise_v do_v not_o become_v a_o debtor_n because_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v order_v for_o other_o thing_n but_o

promise_n you_o must_v conceive_v of_o this_o suitable_o to_o his_o great_a majesty_n you_o must_v not_o apprehend_v of_o it_o as_o when_o two_o man_n agree_v that_o be_v equal_a and_o therefore_o a_o debt_n of_o justice_n arise_v between_o they_o and_o one_o may_v implead_v the_o other_o but_o as_o a_o merciful_a condescension_n on_o god_n part_n to_o promise_v such_o thing_n to_o we_o that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o confirm_v in_o our_o hope_n in_o he_o hence_o durand_n and_o ariminensis_n labour_v to_o prove_v that_o god_n promise_n do_v not_o induce_v a_o obligation_n but_o denote_v the_o disposition_n of_o god_n to_o give_v although_o their_o argument_n exclude_v only_o a_o debt_n of_o justice_n from_o god_n 4._o consider_v why_o god_n will_v deal_v with_o man_n in_o a_o

power_n god_n deal_v with_o man_n by_o way_n of_o covenant_n not_o of_o power_n whereas_o he_o may_v require_v all_o obedience_n from_o we_o and_o annihilate_v we_o at_o last_o or_o at_o least_o not_o

do_v he_o 1._o to_o endear_v himself_o unto_o he_o not_o make_v man_n because_o he_o need_v he_o but_o that_o there_o may_v be_v object_n to_o who_o he_o will_v communicate_v his_o love_n thou_o

a_o absolute_a law_n may_v seem_v to_o extort_v obedience_n but_o a_o covenant_n and_o agreement_n make_v it_o to_o appear_v more_o free_a and_o willing_a as_o if_o adam_n will_v have_v obey_v though_o there_o can_v have_v be_v no_o obligation_n upon_o he_o to_o do_v it_o 5._o consider_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o covenant_n be_v of_o work_n and_o not_o faith_n the_o covenant_n god_n

it_o be_v true_a indeed_o there_o be_v faith_n of_o adherence_n and_o dependence_n upon_o god_n in_o his_o promise_n and_o word_n and_o this_o faith_n do_v not_o imply_v any_o imperfection_n of_o

the_o soul_n not_o as_o it_o be_v now_o a_o organ_n or_o instrument_n to_o receive_v and_o apply_v christ_n with_o we_o indeed_o there_o be_v justify_v faith_n and_o repentance_n which_o keep_v up_o a_o christian_n life_n as_o the_o naturalist_n say_v the_o calor_fw-la innatus_fw-la and_o humidum_fw-la radical_a do_v the_o natural_a life_n faith_n be_v like_o the_o calor_fw-la innatus_fw-la and_o

can_v be_v no_o obligation_n from_o the_o matter_n have_v it_o not_o be_v revoke_v and_o abolish_v then_o the_o moral_a law_n give_v by_o moses_n must_v still_o oblige_v though_o it_o do_v not_o

the_o principal_a the_o accessary_a fall_n with_o it_o so_o that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o have_v still_o bind_v christian_n be_v there_o not_o special_a

moral_a law_n for_o the_o matter_n of_o that_o be_v perpetual_a and_o there_o be_v no_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o do_v abrogate_v it_o and_o if_o you_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o some_o

they_o bring_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n in_o the_o dispute_n they_o do_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o justification_n not_o obligation_n for_o the_o main_a question_n be_v whether_o the_o ceremonial_a

for_o there_o be_v many_o learned_a man_n who_o hold_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o be_v no_o more_o than_o preparatory_a yet_o for_o all_o that_o do_v

another_o consideration_n that_o i_o will_v propound_v be_v this_o christ_n this_o conversion_n not_o wrought_v total_o by_o the_o word_n read_v or_o preach_v but_o be_v to_o be_v attribute_v to_o

therefore_o all_o these_o place_n which_o attribute_n conversion_n and_o holiness_n to_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o at_o all_o make_v against_o my_o assertion_n for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o

they_o be_v now_o come_v of_o who_o the_o ceremony_n be_v a_o shadow_n yet_o still_o you_o must_v remember_v that_o while_o they_o be_v command_v of_o god_n they_o be_v the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n

this_o assertion_n contradict_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n ephes_n 2._o 15._o where_o he_o call_v those_o ordinance_n enmity_n and_o decree_n against_o we_o for_o those_o ceremony_n may_v be_v

not_o perform_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n all_o those_o purification_n and_o cleansing_n be_v against_o we_o thus_o we_o see_v these_o law_n in_o every_o consideration_n make_v void_a so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o now_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n to_o use_v they_o though_o we_o will_v not_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o they_o but_o sinful_a hence_o i_o can_v see_v how_o that_o of_o luther_n be_v true_a

be_v abrogate_a at_o all_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o our_o learned_a writer_n show_v that_o the_o law_n be_v abrogate_a in_o respect_n of_o justification_n condemnation_n and_o rigour_n of_o

of_o the_o law_n only_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o can_v say_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o grace_n or_o life_n be_v by_o the_o law_n because_o whatsoever_o spiritual_a good_a be_v
