sad_o attend_v with_o the_o deprive_n of_o so_o great_a reward_n and_o inflict_v of_o so_o great_a punishment_n we_o will_v have_v obey_v when_o the_o promise_n and_o threaten_n be_v as_o clear_v in_o the_o same_o law_n of_o god_n as_o the_o precept_n and_o prohibi●ions_n 3._o because_o as_o man_n can_v obey_v or_o disobey_v god_n but_o in_o relation_n to_o a_o law_n so_o neither_o can_v god_n judge_v man_n obey_v or_o disobey_v but_o in_o relation_n to_o a_o law_n as_o man_n as_o before_o you_o hear_v may_v have_v be_v subject_a to_o god_n as_o supreme_a lord_n not_o obedient_a to_o he_o as_o rector_n without_o law_n so_o proportionable_o god_n as_o supreme_a lord_n can_v have_v dispose_v of_o he_o can_v not_o as_o rector_n judge_v man_n without_o law_n nor_o judge_v he_o according_a to_o any_o other_o law_n than_o what_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o his_o obedience_n for_o this_o will_v be_v no_o more_o judiciary_n then_o but_o as_o much_o arbitrary_a as_o the_o other_o the_o point_n

of_o the_o world_n 2._o how_o far_o the_o majesty_n of_o heaven_n be_v from_o aff●cting_v the_o exercise_n of_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n the_o great_a potentate_n of_o the_o earth_n have_v it_o not_o

of_o bring_v in_o the_o new_a covenant_n by_o christ_n according_a to_o his_o absolute_a power_n and_o dominion_n he_o may_v have_v he_o please_v have_v dispose_v of_o as_o he_o please_v his_o whole_a moral_a creature_n all_o mankind_n to_o their_o last_o end_n of_o weal_n or_o woe_n mere_o as_o lord_n without_o any_o law_n but_o he_o be_v please_v to_o become_v lawgiver_n and_o according_a to_o his_o law_n give_v will_v dispose_v of_o they_o to_o their_o last_o end_n as_o rector_n 3._o god_n will_v never_o judge_v the_o best_a work_n of_o mere_a man_n meritorious_a god_n judge_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v judge_v and_o according_a to_o his_o own_o word_n the_o rule_n of_o judgement_n that_o good_a work_n merit_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n not_o many_o at_o this_o day_n of_o the_o papist_n will_v affirm_v and_o as_o such_o as_o you_o hear_v in_o the_o doctrine_n they_o be_v only_o capable_a of_o do_v not_o merit_v a_o reward_n that_o they_o merit_v by_o any_o ordination_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n all_o the_o papist_n together_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v he_o have_v indeed_o ordain_v that_o the_o least_o good_a work_n even_o a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n to_o a_o disciple_n shall_v have_v a_o reward_n not_o that_o the_o great_a even_o fire_n and_o faggot_n for_o the_o master_n christ_n himself_o shall_v merit_v a_o reward_n he_o have_v ordain_v christ_n shall_v merit_v they_o shall_v have_v not_o deserve_v a_o reward_n 4._o in_o evil_a work_n sin_n and_o guilt_n differ_v as_o the_o former_a note_v against_o the_o

we_o see_v the_o filth_n and_o power_n as_o well_o as_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n charge_v upon_o christ_n but_o the_o difference_n between_o they_o i_o make_v out_o from_o the_o doctrine_n thus_o 1._o they_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o law_n under_o different_a consideration_n sin_n as_o the_o rule_n of_o obedience_n guilt_n as_o the_o rule_n of_o judgement_n 2._o they_o have_v relation_n to_o

different_a kind_n of_o relation_n to_o the_o different_a part_n of_o the_o law_n under_o those_o different_a consideration_n sin_n a_o relation_n of_o deformity_n to_o the_o precept_n and_o prohibition_n whereto_o it_o be_v contrary_a as_o a_o rule_n of_o obedience_n to_o the_o precept_n if_o a_o sin_n of_o omission_n to_o the_o prohibition_n if_o of_o commission_n gild_a a_o relation_n of_o conformity_n to_o the_o threaten_v whereto_o it_o be_v agreeable_a as_o a_o rule_n of_o judgement_n for_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o threaten_v that_o sin_n shall_v deserve_v death_n in_o all_o bind_v over_o unto_o death_n in_o all_o out_o of_o christ_n now_o divine_v make_v that_o desert_n of_o punishment_n the_o habitual_a as_o this_o obligation_n unto_o it_o the_o actual_a guilt_n of_o sin_n so_o much_o for_o information_n i_o come_v now_o to_o 2._o several_a sort_n of_o inference_n according_a to_o the_o several_a condition_n of_o people_n mention_v in_o the_o doctrine_n and_o 1._o it_o call_v for_o pity_n and_o prayer_n for_o those_o whether_o gentile_n or_o jew_n that_o never_o have_v christ_n or_o not_o sufficient_o propose_v to_o they_o there_o be_v none_o other_o

that_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o gentile_n may_v be_v so_o bring_v in_o that_o if_o jew_n god_n that_o first_o persuade_v japhet_n to_o dwell_v in_o the_o tent_n of_o sem_n will_v now_o persuade_v sem_n to_o dwell_v in_o the_o tent_n of_o japhet_n that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n may_v return_v and_o seek_v the_o lord_n their_o god_n and_o david_n the_o son_n of_o david_n their_o king_n in_o these_o letter_n day_n look_v unto_o he_o who_o they_o have_v pierce_v and_o mourn_v that_o his_o blood_n be_v no_o long_o upon_o they_o and_o their_o child_n only_o in_o the_o guilt_n of_o it_o but_o for_o the_o pardon_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o that_o blood_n shed_v and_o all_o other_o their_o sin_n this_o shall_v we_o say_v for_o our_o elder_a sister_n which_o have_v no_o breast_n in_o the_o day_n she_o be_v to_o be_v speak_v for_o that_o the_o scatter_n of_o the_o jew_n may_v be_v recollect_v and_o graft_v in_o again_o that_o whether_o gentile_n or_o jew_n they_o may_v not_o have_v the_o law_n and_o covenant_n of_o work_n god_n rule_n of_o judge_v of_o they_o with_o a_o judgement_n of_o condemnation_n but_o the_o gospel_n and_o covenant_n of_o grace_n his_o rule_n of_o judge_v they_o with_o the_o judgement_n of_o absolution_n and_o salvation_n 2._o it_o shall_v speak_v terror_n to_o those_o among_o we_o that_o will_v not_o obey_v the_o gospel-positive_a of_o faith_n enjoin_v
