to_o christ_n for_o something_o which_o he_o have_v say_v before_o a_o answer_n can_v be_v well_o understand_v whether_o it_o be_v pertinent_a or_o not_o unless_o we_o first_o know_v what_o be_v say_v

he_o be_v no_o saduce_n for_o he_o believe_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o a_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n to_o eternal_a life_n which_o some_o of_o our_o new_a light_n have_v

and_o do_v some_o good_a thing_n whereby_o he_o may_v deserve_v and_o obtain_v eternal_a life_n our_o saviour_n therefore_o oppose_v a_o other_o question_n to_o he_o and_o seem_v to_o correct_v the_o formality_n of_o his_o petition_n v._o 17._o why_o call_v thou_o i_o good_a there_o be_v none_o good_a but_o one_o that_o be_v god_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v a_o man_n can_v do_v any_o thing_n of_o himself_o that_o be_v good_a by_o which_o he_o may_v merit_v eternal_a life_n but_o when_o he_o have_v do_v all_o the_o good_a he_o can_v he_o must_v whole_o cast_v himself_o upon_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n but_o our_o saviour_n not_o stay_v for_o his_o answer_n prevent_v he_o by_o way_n of_o anticipation_n because_o he_o know_v wherein_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o confidence_n lay_v namely_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n do_v this_o and_o live_v and_o though_o he_o require_v faith_n in_o all_o that_o will_v be_v save_v yet_o he_o bring_v this_o man_n to_o the_o test_n of_o the_o law_n say_v if_o thou_o will_v enter_v into_o life_n keep_v the_o commandment_n vers_fw-la 17._o he_o suppose_v because_o of_o his_o political_a and_o external_a performance_n towards_o man_n that_o none_o can_v pose_v he_o there_o ask_v which_o of_o the_o commandment_n as_o if_o it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o he_o by_o which_o he_o shall_v be_v try_v like_o a_o young_a scholar_n who_o have_v learn_v his_o lesson_n by_o write_v and_o think_v he_o understand_v it_o all_o when_o he_o know_v not_o one_o word_n of_o it_o as_o he_o shall_v know_v our_o saviour_n therefore_o repeat_v the_o commandment_n to_o he_o vers_n 18._o thou_o shall_v do_v no_o murder_n thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v adultery_n thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v thou_o shall_v not_o bear_v false_a witness_n honour_v thy_o father_n and_o thy_o mother_n and_o last_o he_o add_v the_o compliment_n of_o they_o all_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o from_o hence_o some_o erroneous_o strive_v to_o establish_v the_o doctrine_n of_o work_n or_o else_o they_o say_v the_o law_n be_v give_v in_o vain_a but_o there_o be_v many_o good_a use_n of_o the_o law_n though_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v it_o first_o it_o serve_v to_o teach_v we_o what_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v second_o it_o be_v a_o glass_n to_o show_v we_o our_o deformity_n and_o so_o be_v our_o schoolmaster_n to_o bring_v we_o unto_o christ_n three_o to_o keep_v we_o under_o obedience_n that_o we_o do_v not_o as_o too_o many_o late_o have_v do_v abuse_v our_o christian_a liberty_n and_o pretend_v our_o faith_n when_o our_o work_n be_v abominable_a to_o the_o public_a scandal_n of_o our_o christian_a profession_n but_o the_o young_a man_n think_v if_o this_o be_v all_o to_o keep_v the_o commandment_n that_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n for_o he_o reply_v all_o these_o have_v i_o keep_v from_o my_o youth_n what_o lack_v i_o yet_o but_o hence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o suppose_v there_o want_v something_o and_o that_o his_o civil_a performance_n of_o the_o commandment_n can_v not_o assure_v he_o of_o everlasting_a life_n he_o have_v bend_v the_o rule_n to_o the_o square_n of_o his_o own_o action_n and_o think_v they_o agree_v very_o exact_o but_o our_o saviour_n set_v the_o rule_n right_o again_o u_fw-mi it_o shall_v be_v and_o as_o he_o have_v expound_v it_o matth._n 5._o where_o he_o show_v that_o god_n require_v both_o the_o outward_a and_o inward_a conformity_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o law_n and_o then_o he_o try_v this_o young_a man_n action_n by_o the_o rule_n and_o there_o appear_v a_o vast_a difference_n betwixt_o they_o wherefore_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o as_o we_o find_v it_o luke_n 18.22_o ver_fw-la yet_o lack_v thou_o one_o thing_n if_o
